Here's what has been said about Essential Sightreading Studies for Electric Bass series:
I highly recommend Dave Motto's book to anyone trying to get their
reading together. The method is so clear that with a little diligent
study, even a beginner should be sightreading in no time.
VICTOR BAILEY

... an excellent method for up-and-coming bassists--a must read!
WILL LEE

... I think David Motto's book is a very good vehicle for bass players to
strengthen their sightreading. If you take these simplistic steps everyday,
you'll be reading everything and anything.
CHRISTIAN MCBRIDE

The best tool yet for helping young players to learn to read.
TERRY BURNS, Head of Bass Department Musictech College

BASSICS MAGAZINE REVIEW:
... these 48 pages provide a well-rounded sampling of the kind of lines you might be
required to play in the real world, and will go a long way toward developing and/or
revitalizing your sightreading skills. In a world full of tab, and players who may not
appreciate the benefits of proper sightreading, Essential Sightreading Studies
is, well, just that, essential.

FUNKIFYING THE CLAVE: AFRO-CUBAN GROOVES FOR BASS AND DRUMS
		Funkifying the Clave: Afro-Cuban Grooves For Bass and Drums attempts to provide drummers and bass players with an understanding of the application of Afro-Cuban rhythms to contemporary jazz, funk, and rock. We decided that the project should be a joint bass and drum book because the key to understanding and executing these types of feels comes from each player's awareness of what the other is doing. In seeing how both parts work together, it is possible to develop a feel for the particular rhythmic relationship that occurs in this type of music, thus enabling you to 'funkify' your own grooves. Includes 2 audio CDs, where each song is available as a full band, without the drum tracks, and minus the bass tracks for you to play along with. Also includes complete breakdown analysis of the drum and bass guitar examples. Written in standard notation and TAB. Includes audio CD. 64 pages.	Our Price: US$29.95 click to see more

CLASSIC FUNK AND R&B GROOVES FOR BASS
		101 examples of Funk and R&B lines. There are no 'exercises,' only actual bass grooves. Classic Funk and R&B Grooves does cover techniques and concepts, including the use of muted (ghost) notes, string raking, vibrato, syncopation, and the use of non-scalar intervals such as octaves and dominant sevenths. Instead of putting these to work in drills, though, the player goes straight into grooving. Call it instruction by osmosis, if you will, but bear in mind that the great funk bassists learned to play this way. If you study enough vocabulary, and use it in a real setting, you learn the language. Every bass groove you find here was played and recorded first in real-time jams with living, breathing drummers, then transcribed later. By contrast, most instruction books are written first, and the musical examples are played to a drum machine. It’s critical to the spirit of this book/CD package that live drums are used throughout, and you’ll feel the difference from the first track. Written in standard notation and TAB. 36 pages.
