This book will give bassists insight into many of the scales used in jazz.
Each scale is presented with standard notation, tablature, and fingering patterns for both one octave and two octaves.
The book starts with the basic major scales, then delves into the modes (Lydian, Phrygian, etc.), altered scales, bebop scales, pentatonic scales, blues scales, and symmetric scales (diminished scales, whole-tone scales, and chromatic scales). With  exercises to help you use the scales in improvisation.
Another useful feature of the book is a glossary of chord symbols.
