Alpha Music is proud to bring something much-needed to the area. Announcing the Alpha BassPlayer Club (or ABC for short)! This is an informal collaboration of local bassists and bass enthusiasts, where all styles of music and playing are welcomed and encouraged. The intention is to provide a friendly, supportive environment where bassists of all styles and backgrounds and styles can come together to talk, study, learn, and discuss in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. We're inviting all players to join up with other pioneers of the deep end to encourage growth in the bass community. Upcoming meetings will include visits from factory reps, gear giveaways, clinics, and more!

I'll be there, anyone else?

This Clinic will be FANTASTIC! I am in contact with Adam and he is very excited to come to Virginia Beach and share his vast knowledge with everyone. Thanks to SWR and D'Addario for making this a FREE show! Seating is limited to 180. Make sure to show up early. Tell your bass buds that are not part of this forum about this, they don't want to miss is clinic,

Thanks

Dave H

I live here in Nashville. I've been playing 12 years. I've progressed more since taking lessons with Adam a year ago... than the other 11years combined. He really knew how to lay it out. It was definitely a light bulb moment for me. I was considering moving it to strictly hobby, but now I know I can make something of my talent.

He is currently accepting new students to all you locals.
He's a classy guy.

Just wanted to bump this thread after Dave reminded me of this today. It's this coming Saturday, at Alpha Music on Virginia Beach Blvd...

Thanks to anyone who did attend. Adam is an awesome bass player, and seems to be a genuinely great guy. I got a couple of free t-shirts and bought his latest CD, which I highly recommend.

Another big thanks out to Dave H for making this happen, along with SWR and D'Addario.

Also, if the guy that was sitting next to me belongs to TB, I'd also just like to say that your remarks were in bad form when he was talking from experience. You wanna see Nitti in concert, go see him in concert. The rest of us were enjoying his "long-winded-ness."
