About
Introduced in 1951, the Fender Precision Bass completely transformed the sound of popular music by the early ’60s. This is the first book to show you how and why. This richly illustrated history reveals the true colors of the Fender electric bass - as a powerful agent of change in popular music and popular culture. It tells the story of technological and artistic evolution, of basses and players--and of their profound influence on the world around them. Celebrating the instrument’s 50th anniversary, this book salutes the revolutionary impact of the bass in the hands of James Jamerson, Jack Bruce, Paul McCartney, Carol Kaye, John Entwistle, Jaco Pastorius, Sting, and other bass visionaries and virtuosos past and present.
