Nice and varied

This book is a nice overview of various things bass related. It's not a true instructional or a true reference book. There's a chapter on different styles, kind of snippets from the other hal leonard books. There's bass player bios from Flea to marcus miller to jaco. as well as newbie stuff like how to change strings and how a bass is built.
