Upright and Electric Bass

Working with Aaron was an exciting, smooth, and professional experience. The track he provided was top quality, and he gave detailed feedback and direction. Looking forward to hearing more from him and hopefully working together again!

Aaron played some killer upright bass for me on a jazz track! Great feel, great intonation, great sound, and he turned it around extremely quickly! I will DEFINITELY be hiring him again.
