Wanted - 'Essential Sightreading for Bass' Books

Hi,

A new member (faiz0802) has recommended books for practising sightreading on bass guitar. They are 'Essential Sightreading Studies for Electric Bass' Volumes 1-3 by David Motto. Unfortunately it looks like they can only be sourced in the USA.

I wondered if anyone had copies they didn't want and would consider selling?

Cheers,

Paul

@Paul: I think there should be a few members here who're in music school. You could ask around and get whatever's available locally. It's a pity libraries don't stock sheet music. Um wait, I'm not entirely sure that they don't. Try these links:

[u][b]Bass Builders: Simplified Sight-Reading For Bass[/u] by Josquin des Pres[/b]: [url="http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/018656/details.html"]http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/018656/details.html[/url]
Josquin des Pres s an amazing author and teacher. I went through quite a few of his books a few years ago and I was never disappointed.

The name says it all. That and the fact that you can never go wrong with M.I.

Hope that helps.

Really?
Both those books really start at the basics then progress so I wouldn't class the Bass Builders book as intermediate and the MI as beginner-
They both work on pretty much the same level.

Yes i guess you're right,. But I just wanted to mention what I saw on the site. I haven't used either of these books all that much. Just a glance.
