| It is a pretty cool book, but in fact the first book I would study is the Ray Brown Bass Method, and once I have that nailed, I would get a copy of The Working Bassist's Toolkit by Ed Friedland. The Grimoire is cool for theory and academia but you'll get a LOT more practical information and advice out of the two I just mentioned, and if you really want to get into the theory then you should get a copy of Slonimsky's Thesaurus. Better yet, get all four and a copy of Standing In The Shadows as well. |

Bass Guitar for Dummies by Will Lee and 101 Bass Tips by Gary Willis are excellent books to learn from. Both feature light basic usable theory and a lot of great tips for everything from maintenence to live performance.
I grew up on Ray Brown's Method book and have read through it many times. My copy is on it's last legs, but I think these two books are a lot more helpful for electric players who want to learn a lot of varied info right away! YMMV
I still haven't seen Standing in the Shadows. Gotta get it!!
