The Bass Geek

Within the past day or so, two of my favorite magazines (Bass Player and Electronic Musician) have hit my inbox with previews of upcoming issues (and the offer to subscribe to online versions), and a third resource made itself available to me (Bass Musician Magazine) via a free e-mail edition. I have to admit, I’m a little psyched about the last one, as I pulled up the latter’s website and was immediately confronted with an 11-string bassist using MIDI. That’s darn close to heaven for me. I’m still keeping the print editions (mostly in binders in the office, gathered by year for easy reference), but I’m glad to see some additions to the standard paper fare. I’d even sign up for Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey’s site if the $100/year cost wasn’t prohibitive. That’s two sets of strings, right there.
