From Library Journal
The interviews in this collection are taken from Guitar Player magazine, and many were written by Mulhern, the magazine's editor. Included are interviews with many of the world's best electric bassists, such as Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke, Paul McCartney, Bill Wyman, and Bootsey Collins. With 30 musicians represented from jazz, rock, funk, blues, and pop, it is difficult to imagine that anyone's favorite bass player is not represented. The interviews are thorough and cover each artist's career, playing style, notable performances and recordings, instruments, and equipment. Often, the artists get down to such details as instrument care and how frequently to change strings. Photos and a brief, selected discography are included. A worthwhile selection for music collections, and general collections where there is a strong interest in music should consider.
