The London Bass Guitar Show at the Olympia exhibition Center in London, England, is one of the biggest events of the bass playing world. Each year, Bass players the world over arrive in droves in order to test-drive the latest instruments and amplifiers, talk shop, and of course, meet their idols in the flesh. This year, the perfect event for all low-end lovers will take place from March 2nd to March 3rd and the crème de la crème of the bass player scene will be attending.

One of them is Warwick product specialist, clinician and bassist extraordinaire Andy Irvine, who has already traveled a large part of the world with his "The Sound of Bass Clinic Tour". The seasoned professional musician can be heard on more than 50 recordings, and also recently joined the roster of bass professors at Bootsy Collins' "Funk University".

Andy will be teaching a master class on Saturday, February 2nd, which should not be missed by any fan of bass lessons that are both profound and fun. His clinics are not only practical and in-depth, but also always entertaining, as his passion and sense of humor always shine through. Andy not only believes in teaching every bass player the importance of being able to play every style authentically.

Furthermore, one of Andy's main goals is to encourage everyone studying the bass to develop their own voice on the instrument. Andy's teaching methods range from profound Q&A sessions to playing examples and impromptu jams. Andy’s tips and anecdotes, coming straight from his career as a professional musician, are also invaluable advice for any bass player. Another important part of Andy's clinics is the wide variety of instruments and amplifiers made by Warwick, ranging from the RockBass models to the one-of-a-kind German-made instruments, and from the compact BC line to the new 1000 watt wonder LWA 1000.

Furthermore, Andy is in perfect company at the London Bass Guitar Show 2013. Warwick Signature Artist Jonas Hellborg, the designer of our powerful and flexible Warwick Amps, Warwick Endorser and soul master Andrew Levy, and Warwick Player Guy Pratt, who is not only known as a first-class session and live player but also as an outstanding humorist, will also be attending the event. As a result, lovers of the Warwick Growl will definitely be getting their money’s worth! We will be seeing you in early March, at the London Olympia Exhibition Center!

Garey! All this GAS already, and still nearly three weeks to go
Will you be at the show too? Would be lovely to have a small Warwick forum meetup at the Warwick Distribution stand, while we're there.

Thanks! Unfortunately I won't be there...but I agree, it would be great to meet up sometime. Have fun, and be sure to catch Andy's clinic - as well as checking out all the new gear!

I'll do my best to catch a glimpse of most masterclasses and performances, between one BC meetup and another, as well as gassing like mad at Warwick...

I'm hoping to end up with one hell of a photo blog at the end of the two days

What is actually involved in the master classes?

Who is taught? Selected people? Is it a sign up process? Thanks!
