My specialty is recording basses for Indie/Pop/Rock songs, I may be new here but believe me I'm not new to recording it's already been 23 years doing this, and I participated in more than 70 published albums. I am going to show you a great commitment to your songs or productions, feel free to write me on the contact button and chat about music.
I have the TWO bass Guitars that i love:
-Fender P-Bass 1977, with a set of flats, that gives me a vintage smooth sound, and plays great both with fingers and pick style.
-Fender Jazz Bass ri62, it´s more of a classic style sound, well rounded, with great tones, a little bit more modern sound.
Recording with and Antelope Audio Zen Go with awesome sound, plus an Aguilar ToneHammer 500 that rocks.
If you are looking for someone to give you solutions and quality sound for recording your bass, I think I am the right person for the job.
Bass lines are very important, and having versatility with finger, slap or pick style is important when it comes to providing different sounds to your songs. All that I have worked very hard, and it is my passion to record that style of songs.
Feel free to ask me any questions, we can do a previous zoom or meet call to get to know each other before getting into the music, it will be a pleasure to work together.
Tell me about your project and how I can help, through the 'Contact' button above.

Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: 1-Laptop 2-Fender P-Bass 3-My audio interface 4-One cable 5-Headphones
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: My destiny with the bass was thanks to some friends who started a band in 1999. Thanks to them I was able to start my way in a teen band that played punk music (green day, blink 182), then my interest grew and I took more than 10 years of bass classes with different teachers and there came my leap as a musician and the decision to be a professional player.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style would be the rhythmic versatility and the constant search to innovate with the songs.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: John Mayer or Jon Brion. I think their music is the one that reaches me the most and sharing with them would give me a great lesson as well as an unforgettable experience.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: The songs are always first, listen to it many times and only then will you take the instrument considering the artistic search.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I think I give him criteria when choosing a good mix between sound and musicality, usually the song improves a lot thanks to the experience with the instrument.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I always listen to the songs several times, having asked some prior questions about the artistic search that the producer or artist wants to reach. Then I follow up with a couple takes of the songs to get into the mood and the experience almost always gets me on the right track when it comes to choosing the right audio.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have 3 basses that represent my sound. 1-Fender Musicmaster 78 'with flat strings. 2-Fender P-Bass American Standard 95 which gives me a classic but modern sound, I usually use it to record Rock with a pick. 3-Fender Jazz Bass Ri62 MIJ, which I usually use for a standard sound with which we feel familiar. 4-I use an SPL Crimson 3 as an audio interface, and an Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 as a pre amp. 5-I usually work with Ableton live 10 to record.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Bassists that inspire me: Pino Palladino, Justin Meldal Johnsen, Nathan East, Michael League. Music composers: Jon Brion, John Mayer, Dua Lipa, Thundercat, Louis Cole, just to name a few.
