Christopher's Take:

When this book came in, all I could say was: "cool." Note-for-note transcriptions of some of the most notable bassists around. Ever want to see exactly what Paul Chambers played each chorus on "So What?" It's in there. NHOP on "Have You Met Miss Jones?" Got it! (Not that I'm touching that one with a ten foot pole.)

This book even includes chord changes, so you can analyze each and every note your favorite player plucked. Milt Hinton, Gary Peacock, Jimmy Blanton... the list goes on. In one word, this book is just plain... "cool."
