We invite all metalheads & bass players to gather around the campfire at the EBS NAMM booth with Steve Di Giorgio and Bjorn Englen to talk about bass gear in metal!
Both are long-time EBS artists with experience from numerous tours and recording sessions with metal and hard rock royalties like Testament, Megadeth, Death, Yngwie Malmsteen, Quiet Riot, Uli Jon Roth, & more.
The event will happen at the EBS booth (5441) on Friday, January 26, from 1 PM to 2 PM.
(Note: This is not a signing event but an invitation to gather insights and tips about gear and bass playing in metal, rock & other genres from these two artists, along with staff from EBS.)
