OK… our readers have spoken. We have our six finalists for the Have Bass Will Travel video contest.
The contest started as a fun promotion for Alison Krauss & Union Station bass man Barry Bales’ AcuTab instructional DVD, A Solid Foundation To Acoustic Bass. We invited participants to create their own video in response to one Barry made about getting his upright bass around.
Bluegrass Blog readers chose the top six entries after our staff were unable to reach a consensus. Here are our finalists, along with how the votes broke down.
Melissa Triplett – Bass Talk Weekly 694 votes 10.73%
Laura Hartman – I’m home Mom 684 votes 10.57%
David Morris – inflatable bass 518 votes 8.01%
Jen Dunfield – hound dog delivery 502 votes 7.76%
Andy Blevins – Yes… hippies! 408 votes 6.31%
Dan Booth – too cold to pump 368 votes 5.69%
We will send each of them:
- Autographed copy of AcuTab’s Barry Bales bass DVD
- Set of D’Addario HH610 Helicore bass strings
From the six finalists, Barry will choose a Grand Prize winner who will receive:
- Custom Colorado Case bass case
- Registration and accommodations at Bass Stummit III
Thanks to everyone who submitted an entry, and to our sponsors for their generous contributions to our list of prizes!
We’ll announce Barry’s choice as soona s he a chance to pick one. He is recording now with Alison Krauss & Union Station, so we’ll cut him a little slack if he can’t drop everything and get right on this.
