Andertons masterclass, what to expect?

[uk_lefty]

So I've signed up for my first ever lesson/ masterclass after playing for over twenty years. I'm off to the Andertons Marcus Miller masterclass. There's very little info about it, though I've seen YouTube videos of other similar things I don't know what to expect. I guess I take my bass...? Has anyone been to an Andertons masterclass event before? Or a Marcus Miller one? Any insight gratefully received. I bought a ticket as I live Marcus' playing and thought they'd sell out quickly, now slowly bricking it...

I wouldn’t think you’d take a bass. They’re usually more of a demonstration than anything. At least that’s my experience of both music shop ones, and ones when I was studying music at uni.

Just go along and enjoy the music.

It’s not a lesson. It’ll be him demonstrating different techniques and possibly doing a meet and greet at the end.

That works better than a load of people sat amp-less in a room trying to follow i guess. Should be good

It's not a lesson. It's a chat, demonstration of techniques and a question and answer evening.

Thanks for all the replies. The info was very scant. I'm happy either way, but the logistics of getting a bass there after work, if it were required, would have been a nuisance.

One of the reasons Andertons want you there is to goof you product, so I wouldn’t worry about getting your hands on a bass or two!

I'd guess Mr Miller's visit is connected to Andertons position as the UK's biggest Sire dealership.

I'd be surprised if Marcus isn't playing a Sire for most of the event and I'd imagine there may be a few Sire's available for the atendees to check out as well.

Take some bass artefact and get him to sign it!

If the OP plays lefty, he may end up not finding a bass he can use unless he brings his own. Don't ask me how I know...

I sold off my Sire earlier in the year too...
