Hey! Thanks for visiting. I've just published a book that contains 365 transcriptions of ska bass lines from the 1960s to the present. Here's the bullet points:
7 songs from each generation of ska music before moving to the next generation, repeating ad nauseum: Early Jamaican, Two-Tone, "3rd Wave", and the current.
365 days of individual bass lines from too many groups to count.
Isolated sections of songs, full transcriptions, plenty of tablature, perfect for beginning or advanced readers. Lots of room to make notes. You can learn to read well from this book with no experience.
Small sections of instruction, finger patterns, and analysis. It's mostly up to you to take from each song what you will.
YouTube links for every tune. Lots of secondary links to playthroughs, interviews, and merch. You don't have to spend a dime to play along with this book if you have internet and headphones.
Giant 450 page spiral bound book that can be recycled as poor quality toilet paper or fire starter.
Locally printed and bound by a small business.
Price includes shipping (US only) - and it's $40. Skip a family fast food trip and eat soup and grilled cheese instead and your budget won't be affected by buying the greatest (and only) book on ska bass in existence. Email me for shipping outside the US. skabassbooks@gmail.com
