That looks interesting. Have you been there before or do you know someone who has? What do you hope to learn from it?

I went two years ago - it's pretty good. Instructors are top notch. You attend multiple sessions during the day on a range of topics, and can jam at night or attend night owl sessions. I had a blast.

A friend of my fathers said it was a great camp, I have been studying a lot of theory and I'm interested in what these bass gurus have to offer. I also think it's a great opportunity to jam with great bassists, a lot of the guest instructors are funk players and I like to play funk and the blues. My band has started writing our own songs and this may help with my approach to my bass lines.

Make sure you connect with Patrick Pfeiffer, he is an awesome instructor! I met him at BBC when I was there, and then took some classes with him in NYC. GREAT teacher.
