Hey if you do make it to Joe Val this year and you have your doghouse I might just have a jam or two for you. I know lots of great bass players up here but at Joe Val they usually are pretty busy, and my band's bass player (my dad) doesn't usually come out for the weekend. I'm sure it must be annoying to walk around in circles with a bass, but I'll tell you what whenever I start a jam and we get a walk up bass player it makes my night!!!
To the OP: I hear what you're saying about bass down south - at IBMA this year I started several jams with some pro players and stayed baseless for a while. I've never had that happen at Joe Val!!!
