sylvia Massy (with Chris Johnson)<br />
Recording Unhinged: Creative &<br />
Unconventional Music<br />
Recording Techniques [Hal Leonard]<br />
Acclaimed producer/engineer Sylvia Massey has successfully<br />
used her unconventional techniques with folks like<br />
Justin Chancellor, Flea, and Tom Araya, so she definitely knows her way<br />
around bass. The 240-page Recording Unhinged is aimed at producers, mixers,<br />
and engineers, but Massy’s juicy, fun stories make it a blast for anyone interested<br />
in studio magic and hijinx, and it’s packed with useful info. The chapter<br />
on bass includes great perspectives on instruments, DI’s, microphones,<br />
distortion, using guitar amps for bass, as well as a few cameos (such as Lee<br />
Sklar on getting big tone). A cool, practical book by someone who’d no doubt<br />
lead a helluva recording session. —E.E. Bradman<br />
Robert Randolph &<br />
the Family Band<br />
Got Soul [Dare]<br />
It seems that nowadays, Derrick Hodge is all over the<br />
music world, performing, writing, recording, and producing<br />
with a slew of artists from every genre. It should be no<br />
surprise, then, to find him laying down Southern-fried grooves on Got Soul, the<br />
latest album by Robert Randolph and the Family Band. On Randolph’s most<br />
country-based album yet, Hodge cozies up to the backbeat and powers the<br />
music with tight lines and a presence that is tasteful, as always. —Jon D’Auria<br />
Rob van den Broek<br />
The Gibson Bass Book:<br />
An Illustrated Tribute<br />
[gibsonbassbook.com]<br />
As an avid bass player and graphic designer, Rob van den<br />
Broek set out to assemble a coffee-table book that would<br />
cover the history of Gibson basses from the first EB model in 1953 all the way<br />
up to 2015’s ES Les Paul hollowbody. The result is a stunning, comprehensive,<br />
chronological look at the stylistic history of an instrument’s legacy that features<br />
beautiful photographs, a slick layout, and interesting facts about each<br />
model. —Jon D’Auria BP<br />
