BASSQUAKE 2004
Dan
Elliott and his crew outdid themselves this year. The event
was held at the Koinonia Koffeehouse, a lovely facility with
built in stage, lights and soundsystem. Meeting rooms on either
side were used as well, which allowed attendees (and the public)
to visit the exhibitors' booths anytime. The coffee was good.
As if you'd need to stay awake with that many bass players
on the scene!

Special
thanks to Mark Wright of Accugroove who lent us one of his
fantastic 112 speaker boxes and his ultra clean Thunderfunk
amp.
Bass
players were treated to innovative and entertaining sessions
with some of the biggest names in bass playing. Trip Wamsley
kept the program rolling along. It was a memorable weekend
from the Praise session Friday night right on through to the
"everybody get up here and plug in" closing stage session
(see the last photo).
It
will happen again next year about this time. Keep a steady
eye on www.bassquake.org.
