So Much Fun to Play!
This fake book is an absolute blast for a weekend bass player! It’s awesome to have so many recognizable songs like 'Sweet Child O' Mine' and 'Seven Nation Army' all in one place. The 'easy-to-use' bass charts with notation and tab make it simple to jump right in and feel like I'm playing along with the record. Highly recommend for pure enjoyment!

Good buy!
This book is easy to use and easy to read. While thick is very accurate to the original music.
