The Rickenbacker Electric Bass: 50 Years as Rock's Bottom
ISBN: 9781495095214 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) (Book).

With its ultra-modern design that made the classic Fender precision bass look downright old-fashioned, the Rick quickly became a darling of progressive bands that loved its look as much as its different sound. The Rickenbacker Electric Bass: 50 Years as Rock's Bottom is the first book to trace the history of...
