Believe the other good reviews too. Great resource for dating and tracking models and their modifications over the years. Lots of excellent history on the state of Gibson at the time. Good breakout sections on the varieties of knobs, pickups, and tuners used over the years. You’ll know your way around the lineup after reading this book. And best of all, lots of gorgeous eye candy in full color. This book is really worth the money, a fabulous hardbound compendium of deep detail on the fine

Is there a specific model of telecaster that had the normal bridge and single coil at the bridge but a humbucker on the neck. 1967 FENDER TELECASTER GUITAR BIGSBY BRIDGE SYSTEM 1960 It has a Fender wide range pickup I think. Is this a replacement or the original because it’s a custom shop? How much would it be worth in either scenario? It is in pretty good condition. It’s all original except the pickguard is messed up and the paint is messed up.

This is one more of the fine books of bass transcriptions available from Hal Leonard (we own most of them). While this material is too difficult for the beginner, it is GREAT for the more experienced bassist. AND if you’re a marginal reader in the upper positions (like me), using these TAB annotated arrangements can help you develop proficiency reading all over the fretboard—which is not a bad thing at all. NOTE the TAB is written for traditional 4-string basses only.
I had mistakenly ordered this book, thinking I was buying the guitar tab book. The image/title for this page was updated after I had ordered. I decided to pull out the bass and give the book a try.
It’s great stuff.
It is accurate, but more importantly, the material is interesting enough to keep you busy and thinking about the cleverness of most of McCartney’s basslines.
A far cry from the earlier Beatles bass parts, which are all very rhythmically straightforward, these parts experiment a little.
The bass part for With A Little Help From My Friends has a lot of nice notes swung at the end of measures. Strawberry Fields is a bit more normal than expected. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da will challenge your endurance.
These were a pleasant learning experience for someone who has been playing primarily guitar for about 10 years.
I have transcribed many of the songs in this book before this book was available. I’m sorry to say there are quite a few problems with the transcription accuracy in this book on the songs I have looked at – wrong key changes, wrong time changes, and wrong notes. A Day in the Life is just one example. If you are a beginner, the inaccuracies will not bother you, but for advanced players it is frustrating to get a book labeled “Recorded Versions”. I have bought many Hal Leonard books in the past and have not had the issues as with this one. If you are going to transcribe masterpieces – Do it right! I would recommend the yellow Beatles bass book as alternative to this one.
Simply a great tool for nailing Beatle tunes on the bass. Book includes both standard notation and tab, as well as chord symbols for your six-stringer friends.
Great book – you will not be disappointed!
I’ve been playing for years now and always wanted a wah pedal but never got one for whatever reason, so as my first wah I have to say it was a mixed bag for me. Not in a bad way though, this pedal sounds good.
First for those who don’t know, a wah pedal does, well, pretty much what it sounds like. You move your foot up and down on the pedal and it gives a very distinct voice-like wah wah sound.
The only complaint I have is that it makes the overall sound a little tinny, not really that bad but some of the mid range notes are a little harsh.
Besides that the pedal sounds good in vintage style (It sings with Hendrix or Clapton) and feels pretty good too, not too tough or loose. For those seeking a good versatile pedal this one also got Guitar Player’s Staff pick, stating that it sounded good no matter what style you try it on (Para phrasing of course). Check it out on BBE’s website for a couple of demo videos.
The adjuster knob, dubbed harmony, seems to pick up lower or higher notes depending on where you set it. Besides that I can tell you it sounds good in combonation with my Boss pedals and works with my Onespot daisy-chain power supply. Enjoy!
THis one hits the ball out f the park, flexibility, great vintage sound, like the old Cry Baby made by Thomas Organ so many years ago!
I used to have a VOX. It is long gone, but this sounds great. Adjustable, True bypass, inexpensive, Class A, classic sound. What more could they offer? I had forgotten how fun and obligatory wah’s are for jamming!
Well it appears I indeed got a pedal with a noisy pot. The repair is covered under warranty, which is GOOD. Their customer service has actually been okay also.
Overall, this is a good sounding pedal with MAJOR quality control issues. Its Chinese assembly is obvious in the rate at which it breaks, especially the potentiometer. It seems to last 1-2 months. UNACCEPTABLE!
UPDATE: My pedal came back with grinding friction in the pot. As of June 2010 it is once again effectively an $100., ugly doorstop, as the pot has blown out yet again, it is offensively noisy. BBE sent me a postage label for the friction problem, I am hoping it hasnt expired. BUT I would NEVER BUY this pedal again! It will be a headache without end I can now say confidently. I wanted to save some dough so I got this, instead I basically LOST my $100. Save time (and in the long run money) and invest in a Fulltone CLYDE Deluxe or Standard is my advice. If you get this dont say I didnt warn you!
Thanks for asking my feedback on this book. I’m glad I am given the opportunity to urge all guitar afficinados to get this book right away. I have for the last 40 years bought all sort of books on guitars, amps, steel gtrs, mandolins etc… and this IS THE BOOK one must have (if you have a Christmas or birthday present don’t look further). Believe me it is a ‘Master piece’.The information collected by ‘Monsieur Duchossoir’ is a rare vale and the art is amazing. It is the kind of book you say ‘this s the one among all I’ll chosse to bring with me on desert island …’. And thanks to Amazone for the cool price.
I’ve been collecting guitars and playing dobro, lap, non-pedal and pedal steel for 30 years. This book is a great resource for collectors and players. I consider it almost an art book with the great pictures in here.
Pros:
The information contained in the book cannot be found anywhere else.
The photos are a treat and are very artistic.
Detailed photos of Charlie Christian pickup variations was very interesting.
Loved the articles on the players.
The sections on tuning machine variances cannot be found elsewhere.
Production totals and dating information is great.
Did not address Better, Best, Worse, Worst, Collectable, Non-Collectable aspects of instruments.
Cons:
Did not have photos of all HG acoustic models.
Did not have photos of Roy Smeck Radio Grande, possibly the greatest brazilian rosewood guitar ever built.
Did not have photos, nor mention, of Roy Smeck DN with slotted headstock and neck mutes (I have one.)
Layout progresses along a timeline, not model line. I think long running models, like the EH-100, EH-150 and the Console Grande should have been in chapters of their own, with all the progressive changes shown one right after the other.
Did not address Better, Best, Worse, Worst, Collectable, Non-Collectable aspects of instruments.
I’d recommend this book to anybody interested in collecting instruments, playing lap style or wanting to expand their knowledge of what’s out there.
It’s a great addition to any library.
I have spent several hours reading, and looking at the beautiful color photos in André Duchossoir’s new book, GIBSON ELECTRIC STEEL GUITARS: 1935-1967. Without a doubt it is the greatest pictorial, factual, and historical book ever written on Gibson Electric Steel Guitars. I am convinced this book will become “the reference” that all collectors and dealers will refer to as “the authority” on Gibson Electric Steels in the future. If a greater reference and authority is written in the future, it will be an updated edition of this book by André Duchossoir.
I endorse this book based on my knowledge and experience as a collector who owns a large collection of Gibson Electric Steel Guitars, and as a player of numerous Gibson Electric Steel Guitars. This book is simply a must have for any Gibson player, Collector, or Vintage Dealer.
