Red face Bass Books

Hello.

I just wanted to know where to purchase bass books for beginners.
Of these bookstores, which one do you recommend?

Popular, Times, Borders, Kinokuniya

Which in your opinion has a wider range of books?

Or if you know of other bookstores, eg neighbourhood type, or shops, eg Guitar shops, which also do sell bass books, kindly share them here. haha.

Thanks.

Ha, agree wif wat Aki said, internet is a good source of infomation if you know how to use it wisely, but for me i'll jus sit down with my bass and try to figure out stuff from it, haha.

Most books out there are written in musical notes and are meant for people who want to learn in that approach. If that's what you want, you can get plenty from Kinokuniya and Borders.

You can try the Bass Guitar For Dummies, it contains both taugeh and tabs, and also available at the above mentioned places.

On the internet, you can check out www.bassbooks.com

I've had pretty good experiences with them. They ship pretty quickly and have a wide range of books and dvds.
