Hey Everyone,

I'm new to talkbass so forgive me if I'm posting this in the incorrect spot. But i was just wondering if anyone knows of any jazz summer camps that allow the electric bass or exclusively use the electric bass as opposed to upright. i have searched around but to no avail. thanks so much guys!

National Guitar Workshop Jazz Summit. I will be there, my 6th year. It is like the annual fishing trip. The bass players get to play with two ensembles during the week. Carlo Rosa is the teacher. Wonderful player, wonderful teacher, great guy.

These are some definitely good camps you can check out that are very electric-bass oriented.
