How Marshall Hiwatt Vox and More Changed the Sound of Music-Although rock 'n roll is America's all-time leading cultural export half of the classic rock sound - hard-hitting skintight audacious and vibrant - was born across the pond. Musician journalist and writer Dave Hunter's The British Amp Invasion: How Marshall Hiwatt Vox and More Changed the Sound of Music charts the forty-plus year confluence of British industrial ingenuity and popular culture that grew a minor also-ran offshore industry into a true world leader. Art inspired engineering engineering influenced art and as both evolved at breakneck speed the finest amplifiers in the world were devised and refined on the British Isles. The symbiotic relationship born ofthis partnership produced the most powerful music ever known to mankind - a sound that still resonates today in the most literal sense possible. Hunter's original account provides a ground-level perspective of the simultaneous development of an adolescent audio industry and a nascent musical style documenting their twin struggle to find their footing and stride forward. Rich with behind-the-scenes accounts and high-resolution images of the era's greatest (and highly collectible) amplifiers many of which have never been told or seen before this book is a welcome addition to the libraries of audio aficionados guitarists bassists and other musicians classic rock fans collectors of vintage gear and anyone with an eye for fine photography and an ear for compelling histories.

50 Years as Rock's Bottom-With the introduction of the two-pickup 4001 model in 1961 the Rickenbacker Bass became a phenomenon. The Beatles's use of Rickenbacker instruments was pivotal: teen groups everywhere wanted to have the same instruments the Beatles used so they could achieve the “right” sound. With its ultra-modern design that made the classic Fender precision Bass look downright old-fashioned the Rick quickly became a darling of progressive bands that loved its look as much as its different sound. The Rickenbacker Electric Bass: 50 Years as Rock's Bottom is the first book to trace the history of the iconic Guitar from its protoypes through its explosion of popularity insuch bands as the Beatles Yes Deep Purple and Motörhead to name but a few. Lavishly illustrated with archival shots this is a must-have book not only for anyone who plays the Rick but also for anyone who plays the Bass Guitar. This second edition features 16 bonus pages with up-to-date information on Rickenbacker's latest electric Bass models more photo coverage of artists playing Ricks and some eye-popping custom-built iterations of the classic Rickenbacker electric Bass.
