I wrote to Amazon Customer Service to get an explanation (why cancel my order and get the book back on sale within 2 weeks) - and got none, really. The book is however no longer on sale by Amazon.

Ah well, that's the end of that then I guess :( Such is life. I'll have to nick borrow @BreadBin's copy :D

Call me a conspiracy theorist but funny that should happen a couple of days after getting a few knocks on the door from Martyn Lewis’ website...! Hmmmmm... 😒

After Amazon.uk 's cancellation, on April 15 I ordered from RareWaves (a 2nd party dealer on Amazon) . This Morning my GLBBB arrived  packaged in -horror, horror - a thin plastic foil(!). But finally it's here. Bass porn Bonanza

I noticed It's already the second print, but it is worth every cent. 15 GBP would have been a steal, but for 55 GBP I don't feel cheated.

Still, Amazon deserves a couple of flames, if you ask me.

Got my copy yesterday. It’s quite a tome, it’s much bigger and heavier than I was expecting. A quick flick through and it looks great. It says he only started collecting vintage basses in 2012! Not long to acquire so many, and so many custom coloured Fenders. 

This features 250 of the most interesting basses in his collection, so how many does he own!

His collection has grown by approx 40 since the book.

I had my £15 back order cancelled a few weeks ago, but Amazon have this back in stock now, and currently at £20....

Ordered mine, let’s see what happens this time!

It's an interesting browse/read... Weirdly, aside monetary value, I'd probably only covet from his collection, a vintage jazz and maybe a good modern version, a tasty clanky Rick and the Wal 5. The weird and the rare don't really do it for me... Collection-wise, I think I'm more in the Entwistle camp who had the jazz's, P's and Ricks but also the Alembic, Warwick and Statii...
