Pick up this comprehensive book and experience a unique and exciting journey through the diverse world of rock bass playing. From the blues-soaked sound of early rock 'n' roll to the hyperkinetic thrash of modern metal, this book has something for every kind of bassist out there---no matter what your style and preference is.
