Mel Bays Encyclopedia of Bass Riffs is an overview of over 40 different musical styles, covering 50 years of electric bass playing.

Through a wide variety of stylistic examples, this book explores many musical genres that may have never existed without the electric bass guitar. These examples will undoubtedly add diversity to your musical vocabulary and supplement your style.
