I had a really great experience this year. Mostly at the Warwick booth. Having to talk and play in front of Jonas Hellborg wasn't my most comfortable place in life. But proved fruitful, looks like I will be working with Warwick in the near future. I was there to discuss my plans of future musical endeavors and try out the amps and basses. There is still going to be discussions and equipment trials before anything really is worth talking about. But the time I spent in the Warwick zone there was killer. Jonas talked serious about the amp designs and the bass models, and then best of all, jammed some licks not six inches in front of my face! I even got him to play Dog BBQ and later in the office area to show me how the main bassline goes, although it's a bit foreign to me still. Strange way of playing this guy, but in case anybody didn't know... The King. Forget about anyone you want to throw into the ring and challenge me, you lose...Jonas is the King.
Later Ryan and Matt from Mudvayne came up and blew me away with their enthusiasm with what I have worked on past albums. Those guys were awesome to talk to and a couple of pleasant and energetic guys. Me and Ryan (and Matt) are really fans of each other's work.
Then Mike Inez came over for some photos with us too. Ryan mentioned it was cool to have that 4 bass power photo "even though Steve isn't a Warwick guy"... well man, what does it look like now?
