This Saturday, May 1st 2010 is first Bass Day Charlotte.
I’m excited to get to spend some time around other bassists. Maybe get my name out and find a band that fits what I’m looking to do. My Instructor (Dennis Contreras) is giving a workshop at 2:30.
Should be a lot of fun. I’m hoping there will be some double bass vendors, but I doubt it. I’ve been looking for one and it’s tough to find a place with any selection at all.
I’ve recently hit a bit of a break through in how to jam. I’ve found ways to incorporate more notes and more interest into my playing, but I haven’t really figured out how to do it well. Listening to myself sometimes it really works and sometimes it’s just not quite right. I’m not good enough to be a really effective minimalist yet.

If you are looking for a double bass, THE place in the area (actually in the whole Southeast, from what I can tell) is Bob Beerman’s Bass Violin Shop up in Greensboro, NC. Bob has a good selection in his workshop/showroom, and will spend a lot of time with you.
It’s essentially a two-man shop, so give him a call before you drive up, just to make sure he isn’t in the middle of some big, messy, emergency repair job!
I bought my first upright bass from him last summer.

Yeah – the Renaud Garcia-Fons concert was incredible…
