Session bassist with years of recording experience and have recorded with Grammy winning and nominated producers/engineers. I am excited to make the perfect bassline for your song, contact me!
I have over 10 years of Live and Studio experience, worked with Grammy winning and nominated producers/engineers (Sting, Billie Eilish) in prestigious studio's such as JRS and Trixx and studied Electric Bass at the BIMM Institute in Berlin (graduated 2023). I play for a variety of musicians such as Lucie Frank, Lily Rieke Marty, Blue Babe and Fred Waves throughout Germany, live and in studio. Apart from this I also run a YT channel with over 350.000 views showcasing my playing through transcriptions of songs.
My philosophy when creating and recording bass lines is very simple, if it doesn't suit the song it is not the right line. Some songs need intricate lines with many fills and frills and some songs only need root notes, both of which I am more than happy to play.
I can offer you a quick turn around time, high playing and audio quality plus the option to listen in live while I am tracking your song. I record with great basses (Fender Precision USA 1981, Lakland DJ4, Yamaha BB735, Fender Starcaster) through a nice pre-amp (Aguilar Tone Hammer), these combined with an extensive pedalboard and plugins allow me to make you a bass line that has a very easy to mix tone.

Bo recorded bass for my EP this summer, not only am I over the moon with the results but it was a pleasure working with him. His bass playing, seamless and extremely tasteful, always matches what a song needs. Since he is easy to work with, a talented musician and good friend, I can recommend recording/working with Bo to anyone.
Had the pleasure to perform with Bo many times and have him record bass for most of my songs. He‘s absolutely amazing! A surreal bassist, amazing arranger, and a warm personality! Always reliable and invested.He helps create a safe, comfortable atmosphere for everyone, with his humor and ability to switch to being focused and concentrated when needed.
Bo is an amazing musician and playing with him is always such a pleasure! He brings every song he plays to life and is easy to work with! Would really recommend :)
Bo is the guy, a very talented bass player with a solid groove and a very good sound, he easily understand what your song need and beside that he is also an amazing person to spend time with.
Need more?Had the honour to work with Bo on one of my songs. With his arrangement skills and fantastic bass playing, he brought the song to the next level. On top he’s very reliable. Would love to work together again!
Very talented bassist! Fun and easy to work with and brings a lot of creativity to his work, definitely recommend!
Bo is a hardworking, gifted bassist who pays close attention to detail, understanding exactly what each song needs. He is a trustworthy professional with a great work ethic and always brings refreshing, new ideas to the table. Lovely to work with!
I've had the pleasure to work with Bo, both in the studio and on stage and I can comfortably say he's the most technically gifted/ talented bassist I've worked with.
I've seen Bo work with material he knows inside out, and with something he's heard once (or never) and the work ethic and preparedness for the session is always the same. Bo has all the abilities to elevate your music with his playing, and it also helps that he's a charming and personable guy too.
100% reccomendI think his biggest talent is approaching a song technically as well as emotionally balanced.
In the studio Bo is quick, precise & adaptive which makes the session run quick & smoothly.
In live situations, he doesn't hold back being explosive and playful on stage.
Overall very pleasant vibe to work withBo is an incredible bassist with a precise feeling for what each song needs! Comes up with amazing ideas fast and brings a lot of skill and versatility to the table. Definitely recommend
Very talented and versatile player, as well as reliable and easy to work with
Interview with Bo Keijmel
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I generally work in the pop, rock and RnB genres. I grew up listening to a lot of rock, especially indie-rock, music and as I grew up and became more interested in pursuing music branched out into many RnB artists. For me personally both of these 'worlds' as different as they are fulfill me in very different ways and I massively enjoy both.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Most commonly I do Electric bass however I also occasionally do co-producing and writing work.
