Fender Books

[silentbob]

Last year i was given the Haynes Fender Bass book, which i have thouroughly enjoyed and have delved into time and time again. What I'd really like to get my hands on, if it exists, is a referance book that covers all of the different models, eg, aerodyne, jazz specials, ect, and details all the differences between the basses. Anybody know if a book like this exists?

Read the reviews on Amazon and see if any of these come close to what you want.

None of these are [i]really[/i] what you want I don't think. The bass is a [i]niche [/i]market unlike those six string things! There are bloody hundreds of books like you want for them.

PS: If you are going to buy one, then take a tip from an amazon regular. Don't forget to consider the [i]second hand [/i]sales section. (click the blue '[color=#0000ff] used and new' [/color]link) Often [i]a lot [/i]cheaper. But if you do buy a new one then use the '[i][b]FREE in the UK[/b] with Super Saver Delivery' option. [/i]This just means they send it second class. But it[i] is [/i]free. [i] [/i]

I recently got this: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fender-Bass-Britain-Slab-Bodied-Precision/dp/1438946627"]A Fender Bass for Britain[/url], which is about the slab-bodied Precision. I don't think it's well written and, for something that was 13 years in the making, I can't helpt feel there should have been more to it. Anyway, handy to have for any Fenderhead.
