I just heard that Juan Alderete and Billy Sheehan will be doing a joint autograph signing at the namm show for Ampeg... How cool is that? I wish I could get to be there for that. Friday at one pm at the Ampeg booth.
Its pretty cool I guess, it would have been bigger news if Lakland was producing a JA signature bass though.
Juan, Johnny, John, Juanito is playing at the NAMM show on Saturday night with my old band, Racer X. We are playing at the Sheraton Ballroom at 10pm. I am doing also signing with Billy at NAMM on Friday at the Ampeg booth and an unscheduled signing at the Ernie Ball booth either Saturday or Sunday. If you are a Talkbass fan, let me know and I will hook you up with a cd sampler of my new record by Vato~Negro. www.myspace.com/vatonegro . I gotta get back to practicing those 32 note tripelets. My forearm is killing me! Juan Alderete de la Pena
Holy crap, I wish I could go to NAMM. My arm would have fallen off if I attempted to play Racer X song.

Juan- big fan man... love your stuff. Quick question- what kind of effect is that on "Crownd Control"... it's pretty boss.
I will hit this Juan show with fierce, Jesus Fist-style reckless abandon!! This show should be a blast!! Is Jeff Berlin still opening?????????? JT
