Disregard the bad review - This book does not claim to be any more than a clear and concise book of bass scales. For that it is excellent. It's small size (thus the name Gig Bag) makes it easy to carry around. The scales are neatly presented in note form as well as tab (for those of use learning to read this is helpful). A good foundation book that any bassist can use.

If you are going to play serious bass you HAVE to practice your scales, period. This book is an absolute perfect tutor for EVERY scale and EVERY key, and, it includes not only all the major, minor, and church scales, but, everyone's fave pentatonics (majors and minors), jazz melodics, whole tones,and the all the variant blues scales. The book is in a narrow, incredibly sturdy spiral bound hard laminate that fits perfectly on your music stand. Any reviewer that doesn't give this a five-star must lip-sink or play air guitar. This is the book, bar none, for in-the-trenches practicing at my studio. Its taught me so much that I cannot express the value after all those hours. We need one for chord progressions, too! This is a must buy! Keep on practicing and jammin'!

This book is exactly what it says it is...it is a very handy gig bag book to have if you play the bass. The scales are easy to read if you use tab or read music. It has all the different varieties of way the scales are played. It is just great...I highly recommend.

This book is quite useless!!! It cover about 15 scale forms but it tell me nothing about when to use the scale forms! Save your money and buy other scale form related books! Moreover, it cover these scales with all notes... I think it is a BIG WASTE OF PAPER!!!!! Do you think it is needed? If you're a bassist, the answer is so clear.
