For those of you that attended and got in the group photo, it's in this months Bass Player magazine. Last year was my first time attending and it was a great time. The Bass Bash at the Baked Potato was a mind blowing experience and the food was good too!

I think it's $40 bucks. They just added Andrew Gouche to the lineup too.

Yes, I just got a tweet from @lamusicacademy - $40 - amazing bargain - I'm there!

How long does it go to? How long did it go to last year?

[MisterV619]

The event is probably until 4:30pm and then they are having the concert/jam session down the street at the Pasadena Jazz Institute from 5pm-8pm.

There's going to be other well known Bass players attending the event. My bass instructor is bringing Bobby Watson (Rufus & Chaka Khan) with him. I'm bringing Cedric Martin (Con Funk Shun). Last year Malcolm-Jamal Warner was a pleasant surprise.
