Of all the books in this "series" this is one of the shorter books. This may actually be a little surprising: because the text covers at least ten distinct families of basses from the early 1950's: Precision Bass (including Telecaster Bass); Jazz Bass; Bass VI; Bass V; Mustang Bass; Musicmaster Bass; Bullet Bass; Lead Bass; Coronado Bass; Katana Bass; and, Performer Bass. Despite providing only a brief description of each bass family and the variants within up to 1990, it does a good job of providing a thorough overview of each instrument and provides clear illustrations of most of the basses described.
It's a pity this text is not found in more librarys; but it is available online as a freely accessible document.
One final note: The Fender Bass book may be cited with the term "S.l.: Exclusively distributed by Hal Leonard". Thanks to the Collins Dictionary Online I have learned that "s.l." is a latin term: "sine loco". "Sine loco" means "without place (of publication)"; there is not much information within the book that relates to publication, so this may be correct. However, I have included as much information as I can from various sources: as well as my copy of the book. (The term "s.n." stands for "sine nomine": that means "without a name" and refers to the publisher's name not being known.)
