Hello all its nice to be here - I would like to say hello from Ireland and to let any double bassists looking for inspiration/education know that we are hosting a wonderful summer school in August which Rufus Reid is the bass clinician. Its in Sligo, in beautiful Yeats Country in the north west of Ireland. We had a great time on Rufus' last visit and are positive this year will be even better when we also have a dazzling electric bass clinician in the form of Dominique DiPiazza, who is in the latest issue of bass player mag and is a monster 5 string player. Please have a look at our
sligo jazz summer school site for more info. Oh and we are arts council funded so its
really cheap!!
Anotehr query: Anyone who has a bass built by Cristiano Scipione in Verona, Italy, please contact me with advice as I am preparing to make a trip there to view (& hopefully purchase) one of his instruments.
Thanks!
Eddie, Ireland
