Basslines that Serve Your Song - specializing in Dark Country, Adventurous Pop, Ambient Americana, Vintage Soul and Gritty Grunge for $100

Bassist of the year at The Prog Mind, featured in Germany's Guitar Magazine, two Bandcamp "New and Notable" placements. Sync producer for Warner Chappell & Sonoton. Professional setup (Cubase 14 Pro, Neve, Audient) with a variety of basses, preamps, effects, and tones to capture exactly the sound your song calls for (comprehensive list below)

With 30 years of bass-playing experience, I’ve had the pleasure of laying down the low end on a range of rock, pop, and metal releases with Warner Chappell, Sonoton and various independents. I am often asked to help out when it comes to rock, indie and soul bass, both with fingers and pick. I especially excel at P-bass or PJ-bass sounds combined with driving preamps from Origin Effects or Tech 21 Sansamps. But I am also at home behind clean EBS or Mesa amps with one of my active basses. I grew up equally on American Southern Hymnal, Motown, Grunge and Dream Theater, so combining Americana sensibilities with flatwounds, or edge and grit with rounds, your low end needs will be met. For your convenience, I can present a “sound palette” (custom sample) before the start of the work to determine which bass and tone works best for your song. Afterwards, you will receive the clean DI plus a processed version.

Alongside my session work, I’ve produced solo albums, scored films, and recorded and performed with my own bands. Originally from the U.S. and now based in Munich, Germany, I’m ready to deliver high-quality, epic basslines to serve your song. I’m fluent in both English and German.
