I love great bass lines and have been fortunate to have played with some truly fantastic bassists over the years (Akil Wemusa, Doug Pohorski and Edo Castro). I bought this book years ago in the hopes of becoming somewhat competent and conversant on the subject, but never got that far with it.

Recently I decided to take another go at it and finished the book this week. Am I at the same level as one of the amazing bass players I mentioned above? Not even… but I’m feeling more comfortable in reading and writing bass lines and that’s more than I had before.
