[quote name='BurritoBass' post='838169' date='May 15 2010, 02:49 PM']Has anyone heard any updates on this book? Amazon have changed the status from available June to currently unavailable and I can't find anywhere else so much as mentioning it. Cheers.[/quote]
How bizarre, Amazon UK are now showing this as "not yet released", and with a publishing date of 1 Oct 2010. However, when I looked last Thursday they allegedly had a single copy left in stock, so I bunged an order in and it arrived this morning. Maybe they've got access to a time-machine... :rolleyes:

Proper bass pr0n it is too!!! :)

Another book recommendation, apologies if it's already been mentioned elsewhere...

[url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fender-Bass-Manual-Maintain-Guitar/dp/1844258173/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1279102757&sr=1-1"]Haynes Fender Bass Manual[/url]

Sections include:-
Three classic Fender Basses
Buying a Fender Bass
Know your Fender Bass
Setting up and tuning
Repairs, maintenance & adjustments
Specific case studies - a detailed examination and "blueprinting" of various instruments including an ex-Entwistle 1952/53 P and taking in a mix of MIA / MIJ / Squier Ps, Js, Tele, Bass VI, Bronco, Mustang and Jaguar.
Key players and their basses

Well worth a look IMHO, though I don't think I'll be attempting a DIY fretless conversion any time soon. :)

I gave up trying to get this through Amazon (had to email them to request they cancel the order even though their system was still saying it's not available until October) - [url="http://www.snazal.com/buy-online-1574242547.html"]and got the book easily from here[/url] and cheaper than from Amazon. It arrived today...

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='906516' date='Jul 26 2010, 11:54 PM']I've ordered too from that link so cheers. It said usually despatches in 24hrs but once I paid it shifted to "should despatch in 2-5 days". Fingers crossed[/quote]

I think I ordered it on Thursday or Friday of last week & it arrived on Monday...
