Written by well-known and highly respected bass luthier Arnold E. Schnitzer.
From the Foreward of the book:
"Many bassists possess the curiosity and acumen to effectively maintain their instruments and perform minor adjustments and repairs. For some, the rewarding nature of this process can lead to a lifetime of working in lutherie or other crafts. (That's how I got started.) For others, the lack of proximity to a qualified luthier means either maintaining the instrument yourself, or you don't play! The bass, being so large and accident prone, tends to suffer more problems and damage than other stringed instruments. Developing the skills and confidence to diagnose and remedy minor issues is empowering, satisfying, and can save you significant money. It can also alert you to situations that require the assistance of a qualified luthier. In this book I will specify the tools and supplies needed, inform you how to use them in good practice, and provide information about where to find the materials you'll need."
