KCBASS has many items to sell to help raise money for the workshop fund. All of the proceeds goes towards helping us offer scholarships to any students that can’t afford the tuition fee. The 11 years of running the workshop has led to publishers, artists, Bass makers, Bow Makers, Strings Shops, and Bass stores all donating things to help make the events possible each year. We cannot say enough of these fine supporters. Most of which donate on a yearly basis in some form or another. We hope you shop here with us as we think it’s a win win. We do try to get any items you may want to buy. Please let us know. However, when we run out sometimes we run out. We are not a normal business as this is all volunteer work.

To donate to the workshop please visit our fiscal sponsorship website and donate there.

Rabbath Artwork: Ruthie Ingram (kc artist) was so moved by Rabbath’s performance she painted this portrait of him while performing at KCBASSFEST. We surprised him by giving it to him at his concert the next summer. Now it hangs in his Parisian Home (see picture below). Ruthie loves the bass family and wanted to donate reproductions of the painting to help raise money to the kcbass foundation. The poster size is is 32H X 24 W (inches) and you can download a pdf of it to see how amazing it is. We have sold these posters worldwide and she titled it the Sound of the Bass. You may also get a reproduction `that look just like the original done on Giclee (canvas) in three different sizes. These are $300 for 48H X 36 W (the actual size of the original), $205 for 32H X 24W, or $130 24H X 18W (shipping fees are approximately $10 USA destinations and worldwide would have to be determined). These look good in Bass studios, practice rooms, performance spaces, and Night clubs. They make great gifts for your bass player in your life.

Note: the odd sizes are harder to come by but, ordering sooner is a sure way to get one. note: We have some older shirts so please let us know if you’d like to refresh an old. one.
