Professional, reliable bassist (42) with extensive industry experience returning to the scene after a hiatus. With a refreshed perspective and a "song-first" mentality, I am looking to join an established Function/Covers band, high-level Originals project, or multi-genre session work. From festival stages to studio sessions, I bring a rock-solid work ethic and professional mentality to every project.
What I Bring:
* The Pulse & The Feeling: My focus is on being the rhythmic heart. I’m here to provide that essential drive while remaining sensitive to the "feel" of the music. I lock the drums and guitars together to ensure the song has life, breath, and a rock-solid foundation.
* Proven Industry Track Record: Significant experience across the board, including domestic touring, professional studio work, and performing at venues ranging from intimate clubs to large-scale stages. I understand the discipline required for both the live environment and the recording studio.
* The 5-String Advantage: Armed with a Schecter J5, I provide the low-end depth required for modern Top-40, Rock, Pop and Metal, while adding a massive, "upright" warmth to Soul, Jazz, and RnB without needing to retune.
* Adaptive, Pro-Tier Rig: I run a highly versatile setup (SansAmp Para Driver V2 / Ampeg) designed to adapt to any venue. From "silent stage" corporate events to raw original club sets, my rig delivers a consistent, high-fidelity sound.
* Genre Fluidity: Equally at home with pick or fingers. I can dial in everything from a warm, organic "behind the beat" groove to a gritty, aggressive snarl or punchy pop-punk attack.
The Essentials:
* Reliable transport (North West based / Happy to travel).
* Pro-standard gear (Schecter, Ampeg, Tech 21).
* Mature, no-ego attitude focused on punctuality, service to the song, and collective inspiration.
