• Alternative methods for accessing the site •

+ I Need To Use PayPal (or a debit card)

Use This Link:


+ I Don’t Want To Enter My Credit Card Information Until After I see what's inside

Although the standard sign-up method allows you to cancel at any time and doesn’t charge until after the free-trial, I’ve received a few emails from folks who don’t feel comfortable entering any payment information until they know for certain that they want to join (I can understand that).

As a workaround, I’ve created a free plan that will allow you to explore the site freely for 24hrs. You'll simply create an account with user name and email (but no cc information). If you want to continue using the site beyond that time, you’ll simply need to upgrade to whichever paid plan suits you best.

When you're ready to join, simply click 'Your Account' in the navigation menu at anytime and select the plan that works for you. I hope this helps!

  • All Q&A sessions are archived and re-streamable (with time stamps embedded for questions asked so you can quickly navigate to the answers you need).

I WANT TO MAKE EVERYTHING I KNOW AVAILABLE TO ALL…

AT A PRICE MOST CAN AFFORD.. IN ONE NAVIGABLE & EASY TO USE SITE.

Why not charge more?     

I simply want to provide a space from which I can share, teach, assist and engage with the global bass community in my own way.  I just need to cover the cost of doing so and, if enough people enjoy what I have to offer here, maybe make a few bucks.  I'm not looking to quit my day job (music is the best!).  Honestly, I don’t feel the need to reinvent the wheel or jump in the deepest of subscription oceans.   There are a TON of great educational sites out there already.  (I'll even link to a few of my favorites inside.  There are some fantastic resources out there), I just want to provide a central place for those interested in my approach to things, as well as some of the thousands who have bought my books but can’t work with me in person or don’t resonate with the remote lesson experience.

round B&W 450.png

I have spent decades teaching jazz workshops, giving masterclasses and clinics, touring and recording all over the world and have frequently been asked about a central place to access my teachings. 

This is it!  That is why I created BassEducation.com.  I started from scratch and created brand new videos and instructional materials, specifically tailored to this format and I want to make it available to everybody at a price that you can afford!

Thank you for your time, attention and enthusiasm.  Happy shedding!
