Guest HRB853370 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I just bought this book off Amazon. It looks like it will be very informative! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Does it have schematics, layouts, cab dimensions, etc, or is it more of a 'coffee table' book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schundog Posted January 19, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Wheeler's style of writing. But the book I bought on Fender amps is really good. The photos are just amazing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
