DETROIT BASS FEST 2010
Friday, September 3, 2010 - Bert's Warehouse Theatre - Detroit, MI
TICKETS ON SALE NOW - AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR
The Detroit Bass Fest is a Motown area celebration of an often overlooked instrument in the world of music: the electric bass (as well as it's "Parent" instrument the bass violin). The festival will include performances and workshops by bassists and their groups that will not only emphasize the entertainment value of the instrument but also education in areas of live performance, theory, technique and the overall potential of this great instrument. The audience will be encouraged to interact with performers as well as other audience members to make this a real down-to-earth and community event.

Because of cutbacks to music programs, many times events like the Detroit Bass Fest are not available to the youth, the Detroit Bass Fest is dedicated to using music as a catalyst to the education of students who have been traditionally under-served by the public schools, under-represented in higher education and deprived of opportunities that could enable them to realize rich and productive lives.

Special attention will be given to the youths who attend this event in making sure they get an up close and personal experience resulting in growth within themselves and a more well-rounded individual.
 
Yours truly,

Enter Detroit Bass Fest Raffle
for a Chance to win these Pedals from Aguilar!
Pedalpedal

The AGRO® is based on the saturation channel of Aguilar's celebrated AG 500 bass head. Capable of producing everything from warm, tube-like overdrive to full on distortion, this pedal will give you the grind you need without sucking out your low end.

The AGRO® offers a wealth of overdriven sounds within an easy to use, 4-knob layout. The Saturation control offers a tremendous range of distortion while the Contour control allows you to dial in a scooped or a more aggressive boosted midrange sound. The Presence knob adds the right amount of 'attack' ensuring that your bass remains defined even with the most saturated settings. The output level control guarantees that you'll be able to get the distortion you want at any volume level.

The Filter Twin® uses two identical filters sweeping in opposite directions - one up in frequency, one down in frequency - to give classic 70's-inspired funk sounds or completely new and original filter tones. Two filters sweeping at the same time give you a more organic, vocal quality and allow you to get expressive new sounds that you can't get from other pedals.

The Filter Twin® offers unique filter effects via an intuitive four-knob layout. The blend control allows you to adjust the mix between the filters. The threshold control determines how sensitive the unit is to different playing styles. The velocity controls determine the speed of each filter.
