Also appearing are the original Metal Masters bassists from Megadeth and Anthrax, Dave Ellefson and Frank Bello respectively, at an exclusive clinic scheduled for Sunday, October 21st at 11AM at SIR Studios. This clinic will feature Ellefson and Bello teaching their trademark playing styles. The bassists will also discuss the importance of their rigs and how they came to partner with Hartke to find their signature tones that they use in front of millions of fans today.
