Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Klaus Blasquiz'"The Fender Bass" purports to give a history of this important family of instruments, and is full of information. It is not exhaustive - hence its compact dimensions and reasonable price. Clearly,corners were cut here.Written in English, one gets the impression that either (a) Mr Blasquiz is ill at ease with the English language as mistakes in grammar and idiom are quite numerous,or (b) more seriously, that it was very badly proof-read.Some details: the very cover features two of the short-lived Precision Pluses from the early 90's-hardly the model that springs to most minds when considering this revolutionary instrument. As regards the text, it is compacted into frames on the page which make for difficult reading.There is little if any continuity in the text. The whole thing resembles a high-school project rather than the serious work that this important subject had called for,and which is yet to appear.This is a pity, as clearly a lot of work went into the research, and and for the sake of a few dollars extra per copy, "The Fender Bass" could have been an attractive and interesting work as there is clearly a lot of information at hand.It cannot be considered to rank with Duchossoir's works on the Stratocaster and Telecaster guitars. Mr Blasquiz at least attempted such a work-for that he is to be commended. It is a pity that the whole thing doesn't quite hang together.This is a story that will have to be retold.
