David Bergner on SoundBetter

If you want killer bass tone that settles right into the mix, pocket for days, and tastefully composed bass lines that lock in with the groove and complement every element of your song's arrangement, look no further!

I'm David Bergner, and I've been making music since before my feet could reach the pedals on my grandma's piano. I grew up studying piano and guitar before finding my "soul instrument" in the bass guitar about fifteen years ago. I have a degree in Music Composition from Occidental College where I graduated with honors in 2008. My working experience includes nearly twenty-five years as a performer, session player, songwriter, composer, arranger, producer and multi-instrumentalist, so whatever you need, I can help! I look forward to collaborating and helping bring your music vision to life.

    My second job with David and it was incredible. I knew I needed a bass track but I didn't have an idea for a bass aside but David PERFECTLY captured what I couldn't hear myself! As always, he plays for the song, which is most important. But he even picked up on and bought some 80s/90s R&B vibes that were so often characteristic of this type of 80s inspired ballad I wrote. His knowledge of genre is spot on. Love David's work!

    My second time working with David in as many weeks. A total pro. No revisions, just as last time. He gets the groove, get gets the song. He's tasteful where needed but always respectful of the song. This one was particularly fun. He really bought character to this song and added grooves and personality where I'd asked. Super fun!

    Just as David's bio says, the bass tracks drop right into the mix perfectly. I booked David to play bass on three songs. I provided David mixed with MIDI bass notes and asked him to replace those with real bass to add some "flavor" here and there. His playing is tight and in the pocket. II love and appreciate that he respected the songs and their parts but tastefully added some extra notes, slides and movements that really enhance the songs. No revisions required. Great bass tone too!

    David is a fantastic bass player and a super nice guy. I've hired him for a couple tracking sessions for my original project (indie soul-pop), and he always shows up prepared and nails it! Highly recommend him, and hope to work with him again. :)

    I have worked with David for over 5 years now in multiple scenarios - Live music, studio recording and teaching. He is a top-notch musician and teacher and a good friend! I send both of my boys to learn piano and guitar with him. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime, anywhere!

    David is AWESOME! I own an online production studio and so finding a bass player that I can trust is really important. He has absolutely knocked it out of the park each time we’ve worked together and takes pride in finding the right tone, settling into a great groove, and approaching the song with musicality that serves the song perfectly. Will be working with him again soon!

    Total pro. Hired him for a track. Gave him a few notes and he knocked it out. Quick turnaround time and has great musical intuition. Will definitely be hiring him again!
