As the "Illustrated History" title suggests, the content is mostly pictorial and light on commentary. Scads of full color glossy photos take you from the earliest P-basses to the Urge bass and beyond. A good portion of the book is devoted to identifying dates of manufacture by head-stocks, logos, bridges, tuning machines, etc. Topped off with a tour of the vintage Fender factory, this book is a must have for any Fender bass aficionado.
One thing I would've liked to see however, is some information on the various Fender bass neck profiles and their respective eras (i.e. U-shape, vintage C, modern C, soft-V).

This is a good resource for Fender bass collectors or those interested in starting a vintage instrument collection. There are plenty of photos and information to help research the date of a Fender bass, or just to look at and wish you had one. It was also interesting to see the ads used throughout the years and the colors/options available.

What can I say about this book? Frankly, after playing Fender basses exclusively for almost 30 years, I thought that I knew everything about every style of Fender bass ever made. WRONG! This book not only is a great coffee-table "picture book," it also goes into the roots of why and how particular changes and/or upgrades were made over the years.
This was truly a fun and educational eye-opener for me. I just can't put this book away! I say Fender forever!!
By James Murphy
This is an excellent book for both collectors and players. Many facets of the Fender Bass are covered along with interesting little trivia items. The pictures are absolutely first class. The book seems to cover all models of the Fender Bass with one glaring omission. NOTHING about the Coronado Bass (Fender's only hollow body bass). HIGHLY recommended!
By Lloyd R. Evans (Atascadero CA)
True, not EVERYTHING is in this book, but close enough. There are other books that cover the "players" of Fender basses, this book doesn't center on that. Lot's of great photos and info.
It IS my Fender Bible.
I'm gonna get a spare!
