I was the Bassist in this production
- Bass ElectricAverage price - $125 per song
I'm reasonable, I'd typically be good with two revisions but whatever it takes to ensure that you're pleased with the final product. A 2-3 day turn around is safe, unless it's urgent & I'll complete.
- Lots of basses but I'm a Fender guy at heart!
