"Jon has come up with a great book for bassists, and anyone else for that matter, which delves into the construction of compelling bass lines. He is very thorough in his approach talking about what the bassist does and all the why's and how's. Jon is a great musician, and his take on this subject matter is a welcome addition to the topic."

"I finally had the time to actually play thru the book thorougly... it's fantastic. It's great to see someone addressing in print the stuff that makes melody sound so great. I love that last paragraph...It's great to have stuff that veteran bassists learn to do intuitively explained in clear, logical language. It's a wonderful, and as far as I know, unique, book."

"Jon has made a science of of building bass lines with his extensive professional experience. With this Gem-of-a-book, he turns it into an understandable language, then into a practical application. It's broken down to the responsibilities of the Bass Player and, where he has freedom within the bass line. It's a must-have publication for any bassist."

"The Untold Secret to Melodic Bass is an outstanding rethinking of how expert jazz bassists actually conceptualize and navigate chord changes. Written from the perspective of a seasoned jazz veteran but set forth in a straightforward and engaging fashion, this book is an excellent addition to the library of any jazz bass student or teacher."

 Very short book Jan 31, 2011
By I. Gonczi
"CompuGeek"
A well written book, but relatively expensive for the amount of info you get.
32 pages total (translates to about 45 kindle pages at the smallest font size).
The examples given in notation are small and nearly impossible to read on my last gen kindle,
perhaps would be all right on a DX.
Note that the glowing user review is by the author.
