Ahh nice I want to go to emf but still waiting. Any comments on the camp?

I'm not cocky since I have no reason to be since I'm not great at the double bass anyways. The b extension probably ain't happening since its too expensive. I'm still rolling with my good old upton hybrid haha.

Also, how competitive are the bass players at emf?

i meant scholarship money. I think I might qualify for some financial aid as well. Also are there any other camps that are worthwhile but not way too competitive

My philosophy is that in the end its about the player and his skills. Sure a better instrument always helps but I've heard of great players with rather mediocre instruments. Its also determined by the instrument. A busted up old italian might be bad compared to a great modern bass.

well its all good stuff, blind auditions are fair and thats all you can say about em.

Hello I'm a fairly decent bass student who just auditioned for emf. I was principal all state bass sophomore year in Florida and my teacher said that I would probably get in to the camp. However its ridiculously expensive. Do any of you know how much emf or similar camps give to bass players...
