Agus Oettel on SoundBetter

Hi, I'm Agus! With 20 years of experience as a musician, I'm ready to make your song happen once and for all. I toured around the world and recorded albums as a Bass and Guitar Player in different genres (Pop/Rock/Metal). I’m also a producer and mixing engineer, I guarantee you top notch quality in my products. Let’s make your track sound wild!

I've been a musician for several years touring and recording with both bass and guitar in different projects, such as Innerforce's albums. My main genres are Heavy Metal, Rock, Pop and Funk. I have developed my playing and my recording and mixing knowledge for high quality recordings. I am currently working in a Recording Studio, producing and recording bands and working in my solo projects.

I feel really comfortable playing different kind of guitars like, Electric, Classical or Acoustic with 6 or 12 strings. I can play Fingerstyle or picked, and in case you're wondering, yes! I also like creating some really nice melodic and soulful guitar solos.

My strength is in the Low End, I own 2 basses: a 4 string Fender Precision Bass and a 5 string 35" scale Custom Made by me with Nordstrand Pickups and a Darkglass Preamp. I love playing with fingers but when songs ask for something else I won't hesitate to use picks, slap or tapping.

In my rig you'll find:
- Fender Precision Bass
- Custom Made 5 string bass
- Music Man Majesty with piezo
- Ibanez Acoustic 12 string guitar
- Antigua Casa Nuñez Classical guitar
- Takamine Acoustic 6 string guitar

And a lot of other cool stuff, such as: SM57's and Lewitt Lct 440 Pure Mics, Audient iD22 Interface, Quad Cortex, UADx.
