Un must pour les fans de Zappa...

Wear your high power readers. Print is very small.

Everything ok

This is a very interesting book for musicians who are also Zappa afficianados. I'm a bass player and guitarist who is a also a big Zappa fan so I'm interested in Frank and I'm interested in the gear. It's pretty comprehensive - right down to Frank's espresso machine and his metronome so very detailed. Having said that, its not quite as well written and researched as Andy Babiuk's painstaking 'Beatles Gear' book which admittedly sets the bar extraordinarily high and takes a lot of beating. The book on the Beatles gives a lot of 'human interest' background to the acquisition of certain pieces of gear - this book is more just a list of kit (although with some background detail at times). Nevertheless, it's a great read, very informative and with access to Dweezil and Gail gives a more 'Zappa family' prespective on things which the Babiuk book tends to lack (understably as Babuik had four band members to deal with rather athan an individual). Very good value and indispensible to the 'muso' Zappa fan. Great book - and by an Englishman too!!! (P.S. - Since when has Leigh-on-Sea been a 'fishing village'? -(you'll see what I mean if you get the book!) - it's a Southend suburb!!

Quelle somme d'infos, quel boulot !Indispensable pour toute personne qui s'intéresse à Zappa, ce n'est pas un catalogue de machines, loin de là, il y a des références aux morceaux où tel ou tel appareil a été utilisé, et indispensable à tout musicien pour apprendre comment se servir au mieux de toutes ces choses. Mérite 6 étoiles.
