Grinderswitch has, for several months, been guiding the efforts of the gnomes in the TLD Art Department in the creation of our (now complete) series of bass chord charts, and they've all done a capital job. Now, however, they're more or less unemployed. You may or may not know what gnomes get up to when they don't have anything specific to do. They are a digging race. Need I say more? Anyway, what I'd like to know is if there is anything else of which you would like charts, graphs, videos, etc. Just let me know and I'll pass the project on to Grinderswitch who will then, it is to be hoped, corral the little buggers...excuse me, charming graphistas, and assign them the task.
Please respond soon! Thanks, David

Music Radar online has been running this great feature on the history of the electric bass. Here's an excerpt from Part 1:
The History Of The Electric Bass part 1: Early Days by Roger Newell October 24, 2011, 6:44 GMT The early days of bass playing must have been a nightmare! Low resonance plus the need for audible volume meant huge instruments like the Mandobass (mandolin style) and the Regal Bassoguitar, which was a monster cross between an acoustic guitar and an upright bass. ...
