Guest HRB853370 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 I just bought this book off Amazon. It looks like it will be very informative!
gpuma Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 tell me how you like it. I just drop reading an amp book that I did not like at all http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/087930863X/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00
H Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Does it have schematics, layouts, cab dimensions, etc, or is it more of a 'coffee table' book?

No schematics Howard, more like a coffee table encylopedia of Fender amps with plenty of great photos. It has a basic ampology section, and a parts listing, but thats about it in addition to coverage of every model made in the first fifty years. Its about 250 pages!
gpuma Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Does it have schematics, layouts, cab dimensions, etc, or is it more of a 'coffee table' book? the one I posted has some schematics, I said some. It is very poorly written however by a guy that you always feel has an approximate understanding of why the things work the way they are. I have a background in engineering, however, and the writer is a full time guitar player so we come from opposite directions.
bolero Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 yeah I found that Kendrick book to be like that as well....yech
schundog Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I have the Kendrick one, but the one I like much better is The Soul of Tone, by Tom Wheeler. Here it is... http://www.amazon.com/Soul-Tone-Celebrating-Years-Fender/dp/0634056131/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1358614685&sr=1-1&keywords=the+soul+of+tone

I like Wheeler's style of writing. But the book I bought on Fender amps is really good. The photos are just amazing!!
