    The Fender Bass: An Illustrated History

    The document summarizes a book titled "The Fender Bass: An Illustrated History" that chronicles the evolution of the Fender bass guitar from its introduction in 1951 to 2001. It provides hundreds of photos and details about the development of the Fender bass line, though it only focuses on the Precision and Jazz bass models. While the photos are nice, the reviewer says the text is thin and feels the book leaves out important details about other bass models and Fender's international production.

    This publication is a quite interesting if incomplete update on the scant literature already available
    on this revolutionary instrument.It is beautifully produced- contrast it with,say, Blasquiz' work on the
    same topic. The photography is superb, the text a little thin.A book to browse through, but a detailed
    history, no.This is a book that on the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the Precision Bass pays
    homage to the American heritage of Leo Fender's innovations, and to be fair, is welcome.However,
    large chunks of this essential history are missing;apart from the history of the two giants of Fender's
    bass line, the Precision and Jazz basses, there is little or no mention of other basses made by the
    company- the Coronado, Mustang and Bullet models barely rate a mention.Perhaps a more glaring
    omission is the deliberate absence of reference to Fender's 'offshore'production (Japan, Korea,
    Mexico and latterly China and Indonesia)under 'Fender' and 'Squier by Fender' badges. The FMI
    corporation readily admits that for a time preceding the establishment of the Coronado
    plant,Japanese output kept the company afloat. Europe,too, is a huge market for Squier
    instruments- these instruments, of undoubted quality, contribute significantly to the FMIC balance
    sheet.Example: the book mentions the production of an 'American' '75 reissue Jazz Bass without a
    mention of the excellent Japanese-made version of the same bass, made under license by Fender
    Japan that preceded it. Regarding quality, my own early-80s Squier Precision and Jazz basses
    which bear a Fender logo are better instruments in every way than USA models from the same era
    -real dogs - that I had owned but got rid of.
