Honestly, it’s one of those events that has something for everyone who loves the bass, whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting out. Here’s why I’m so excited to be there, and I think it’ll answer a lot of questions that are probably floating around in your mind, too.
First of all, what can you expect from the event? Vendors like Ashdown, Olinto, LaBella, Meta Basses, and Vintage are all showing up, and if you’re familiar with these names, you know you’re in for a treat. Olinto’s basses are known for their craftsmanship and tone, blending vintage vibes with modern playability—if you haven’t checked them out before, it’s worth seeing what they bring to the table in person. LaBella is synonymous with premium bass strings, and for good reason. If you want to know what strings will take your tone to the next level, this is where you need to be. Meta Basses brings a whole new level of innovation to the instrument—expect to see some jaw-dropping designs and hear sounds you won’t find anywhere else. And Vintage Bass Room are coming! It’s all about honoring the classics. If you’re a fan of iconic bass designs, this will be like heaven.
What’s the big deal with the artists? A lot of us know the name Yolanda Charles—she’s a powerhouse of talent and experience, and just being in the same room with her is going to be worth it. If you’ve ever wanted to hear from artists like Moto, Yves, Ian Allison, Philip Mann, Daisy Pepper and Janek Gwizdala, this is your chance. These players have had a massive influence on the bass world, and they’ll be sharing insights into their approach to bass playing. It’s not just about hearing their music, but about learning their techniques and getting a peek into their creative processes. It’s an opportunity to ask questions, be inspired, and take your own playing to a whole new level.
So, why is this event such a big deal? It’s simple. It’s the perfect chance to test out some of the best gear out there, meet the artists who inspire you, and learn from the best in the business. Whether you’re there to pick up a new instrument, chat with a few people in the industry, or just get a fresh perspective on your own playing, Bass Day is the kind of event that leaves you energized and full of ideas.
For anyone who’s passionate about bass, this isn’t just another trade show. It’s a chance to connect, to learn, and to experience the world of the low end in ways that will stay with you long after the day ends. I’m excited to see what this year’s Bass Day holds—and I’m sure you will be, too.
