The Fender Bass

An Illustrated History

Fender hat mit seinem Preci vor 50 Jahren alles ins Rollen gebracht. Fast alle seiner Kreationen sind Klassiker (über den Bass V breiten wir den Mantel des Schweigens), und wiederum fast alle heute gespielten Bässe wurden von Fender-Bässen beeinflusst. Die Wichtigkeit der Bässe von Leo Fender kann man also wohl kaum überschätzen. Das Buch The Fender Bass wird dieser Rolle gerecht. Es enthält sehr viele detaillierte Fotos und Beschreibungen, die schön zu lesen sind.

Every new bass is inspired (more or less) from his basic design.
