I already posted it in Basses over at TB. But within the hour it sunk back a few pages.
I don't think they'd appreciate cross posting? But if you direct folks to my post maybe it helps?

You might try posting a new topic, like "Would Jaco buy a copy of the Gibson Bass Book?". This would ensure that the discussion stays active for at least six months. 8)

It seems to stay afloat now that Mark has mentioned it in the Thunderbird-corner!
Of course there's always some Fender fanboy that needs to make gratuitous comments. But that wasn't unexpected :-)

Have you looked at getting this to Amazon?  They have 50 bazillion titles available - if you got it to them you might sell a more than you expect. That and missus Lightyear has a close and personal relationship with them -  I could have my book delivered with our daily drone drop.... :-[

Yes, can I just say how much grace I believe you have displayed in your responses to some of the tools on TB. Well done.
Plenty of good comments there, though!
As I said over there, you will get some double counting from the two polls.

Well, it did take quite an effort. Had to swallow my tongue a few times... Not entirely my style
;-)

Thanx for your support.  :thumbsup:

Well, the the topic over at Talkbass has been taken down because of "CUP Violation"
Apparently it is forbidden to ask if people would be interested in the book.

Oh well. I kind of expected it to happen.  :-\

Do they allow folks to advertise their own instruments for sale or manufacture over there...? Not a place I visit... that's a bit like someone asking if they would be interested in a Bach NR if they built it...?

Re-arrange these letters to form a popular phrase: aosehrels... :mrgreen:

It's not surprising that they have a rule like that. Probably meant to deter members who don't pay the fee to advertise their basses or amps for sale from getting around it by asking. You're not doing that, you're just asking about a product not even made yet, but I can see why they would look at it that way.

A Gibson book is probably considered a triggering event over there. TB is a safe space, after all.
