Release notes

Came with an Electric Bass practice book “Electric Bass Lines”

This album contains practice material for all 47 Bass Lines in the book, including “How To Sight Read Boogaloo”...

This is the first of two LP’s: ‘Electric Bass” (Green), “No.1” (Yellow). Can not verify if there was a No.2 LP. (Pink). By then, Gwyn Publishing appears to be have been incorporated into Warner Bros Publishing. There are Electric Bass practice books up to No.6; It is unconfirmed if these had accompanying LP releases or not; if Glyn Publications had been bought out and incorporated into WB Publishing then probably unlikely.

“The Electric Bass sounds better if it is a little sharp rather than a little flat or even exactly in tune.
Always double check your tuning harmonically on 5th and 7th frets”. (Carol Kaye)

Recorded in Hollywood. Gwyn Publishing Co., P.O. Box 5900, Sherman Oaks, California 91413.
