The Art of Solo Bass at Mel Bay



 
 

"We'll definitely have you back at a future BBC. You are an awesome educator!" - Gerald Veasley

About My Students

My students have been selected to All State Jazz Band, received Music Scholarships to college and have played with some of the top names in the music business. Currently one of my former students is playing with Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and one of my former students is the head instructor for Electric Bass at the The Navy School of Music (formerly and still widely known as the U.S. Armed Forces School of Music).

About Me

Michael Dimin “wrote the book” on the art of solo bass, through his groundbreaking books, “The Art of Solo Bass” and "The Chordal Approach" and as a lesson columnist for Bass Guitar Magazine (UK), Bassics, Bass Frontiers Magazines and as a guest columnist for Bass Player Magazine. Mike has taught clinics and master classes at Gerald Veasley’s Bass Boot Camp, The Bass Collective, the National Summer Guitar Workshop, The Detroit Bass Fest, the San Fransisco Bass Bash, Canadian Rockies Bass Bash and many more. Mike is a clinician for Zon Guitars, EA Amps, Boomerang Music and Thomastick Infeld Strings. “Mike’s taken his revolutionary approach, unparalleled technique and mastery of the instrument and combined it with a sense of musicianship and lyricism that transcends the site of a solo bassist on stage.” Greg Haymes formerly of the Albany Times Union stated, “Dimin is in full command of an instrument that gets the spotlight all too rarely.”
