| User Reviews |  | too many guitars
rating: 4
This is a lovely coffee-table photo book. Entwistle's comments are usually pretty brief, save for a couple detailed descriptions. Too many guitars; I would have preferred basses only! The backgrounds, both interior and exterior, provide a nice glimpse into life on an English country manor. (On one of the instruments shot outdoors, there's a bee sitting on the pickguard.)

Must have!
rating: 5
As a bass player, myself, this book is like walking through a time machine. It is a great portrayal of classic to modern guitars. Anyone who has any interest in the bass or electric guitar will love this. The Ox has one of the most incredible collections and adds his personal touch with the excerpts of where and when. The pictures are amazing and the presentation is fabulous! The collection was very personal to John, and the way this book was put together takes you into his world, so you can see the guitar from his own intimate perspective! Definitely a MUST HAVE!!!!!

Awesome instruments, good book!
rating: 4
If you like looking at rare, vintage, and beautiful guitars and basses, you will drool over the photographs in this book. Fans of The Who and Entwistle will enjoy his comments and the peek they get into his unique mind.
My only complaint was that I would have liked a few more words to go with the pictures. Each picture has a comment by Entwistle, but often these are not very descriptive. It would have been nice to learn a little about the history of each instrument and other details.
But all in all I rate this work highly.

The book speaks for itself, a fantastic collection of some of the most fabled basses (and guitars) in rockdom. I confess to wanting some or nearly all of these guitars at one time or another; to see them gave me a severe case of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)! The only thing I would've liked more was to see more of the background on the guitars, how Mr. Entwistle happened to acquire them.

Excellent opportunity to see a great collection
rating: 5
John Entwistle, always the consumate collector and influential bassist of the Who, maintained one of the most enviable bass and guitar collections of all time. This book gives everyone a chance to share in it. Clear, interesting photographs and John's own unique perspective on each instrument make it a nice addition to any music enthusiast's library.
