Either way, it's all going to be FUN! Alan, have you heard of the Ashbory Bass? It's about the size of a large ukulele and has really fat strings -- it's great for portable playing . . . It's next on my list of fun instruments to get . . .
thanks for posting back. We will see. My bass sounds great connected to an aluminum trash can about 30 gallons.
Seriously, the rally will be a lot of fun learning in the classes but it may take a lot of time for the classes.
I will try to be available for the informal but it will depend on the schedule. It's always good to bring the bass along as it comes in handy some how. Hope you get to see it. I had it rerouted for bartolini double coil circuitry.
It seems to me from your posts; you are a very well versed musician. My ear isn't that great. I can follow some things but for some things I do better with a chart.
