2nd Edition progress
I'm just about done with the corrections, mods, and additions to the 2nd Edition of the book. I told publisher Hal-Leonard Books that I would have it by the end of February, and it looks like I'll be close to that, maybe a few days late. Thanks to all who sent photos of their special Ricks. I used a lot of shots, but not everything I received, so my apologies in advance.
Here's what you can look forward to:
16 more pages:
Two pages added to the 4005 chapter
Two pages added to the 4003 chapter
Two pages added to the 4003S chapter
New four-page chapter on Special Order Rick basses (for dealer/distributors)
Six pages added to Customs, mods, and one-offs chapter
At least 34 new photos (but two or three old ones replaced)
Updated information on the W and SW basses, and more
Revamped cover
Some pages redesigned and repositioned
Not to mention corrections of minor fudgeups in the 1st Edition
Other highlights: Photos of Geddy Lee with Ricks (which, sadly, I was not able to obtain for the first edition)
Recent photo of the James Kirkland "Blue Boy" bass
Photo of the lefty Tuxedo
Photo of one (or two) fretless 4003S/5
Don't know at this point of the price, but suspect it will be higher. It's not up to me; the publisher figures all of that out. I suspect they'll shoot for a June release as that was when the first edition was released (2013 - four years ago! ).
Here we go!

Re: 2nd Edition progress
The 2nd Edition went to the publisher today. Don't know what the printing schedule will be, but if it is anything like it was the first go-round, the book should release in June. Maybe sooner. Now I can relax a bit.

Re: 2nd Edition progress
Great to hear! I can hardly wait!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
Re: 2nd Edition progress
Good for you Paul! I'm happy to be a part of this addition!
Best of luck with it!
Cheers

Re: 2nd Edition progress
You are! But a bit smaller. Instead of two players on that page, there are now four including yourself and Geddy Lee!Chris P wrote:Will buy the second one too! Hope I'm still in it

Re: 2nd Edition progress
Ha! So I will still have at least one of my basses in the book. (You won't Chris. )bassduke49 wrote:
