Here’s a little sample of our evening headliners for this June:

About our 2009 Convention at Penn State: “That convention was cool because I picked out a really cool bass for my son, Evan to buy (that David Gage had there on consignment). I had David hold it for us. Later on during the convention, as fate would have it, out of all the basses there, Richard Davis chose Evan’s bass to play at his ‘concert’… As a result, we had people following us to the car trying to buy it from us for more than we paid for it as we were loading it in the car – completely killed our bargaining power too!” Joe Sarver, Richmond, Virginia

Do You Have What It Takes? ISB seeking convention reporters

by isbc4988 on May 21, 2013

ISB 2013 is packed with all kinds of concerts, workshops, exhibits, and more. We need help documenting the week’s events. In the past, it has all been with written articles. We still love it and we need writers. We’re also looking to expand our scope of reporting.

Are you interested in:

Short video reports?
Short interviews with artists?
Sharing highlights of the day?
Photojournalism?
Reports from the exhibits for new gear and basses?

If this sounds interesting to you, email Kristin Korb with your phone number, what days you’ll be at the convention, and what you’d like to do during the week.
