The Bass Nerds traveled to Namm 2020 and we ran into Jon D'Auria at The Bass Bash who is Editor-in-Chief of Bass Magazine. One thing lead to another and before we knew it, we were recording a podcast in the back of the Bass Bash. Jon is an ambassador of all things bass and while we were only able to chat with him for a short time, it was a blast. We would of went longer but Jon was co hosting the bash and had to run off to take care of some responsibilities.
