    There's just not enough characters or superlatives to describe how Joe's craftsmanship has enhanced our song. He's pro's pro, always timely, encouraging and of course intuitive to feel and character. He's the only bass player we've used and will use on Sound Better!

    Joe always finds the right nuance and punch to take our musical vision to another level! Mindful of providing the right type of bass to compliment the sonic vibe. A wonderful communicator and encouraging soul. We've utilize his virtuosity in many of our songs and will continue to do so...you should TOO!

    Joe is a master craftsman! He captured and elevated our song through his musical sensitivity and nuance. He understands how to marry the right sonic frequency and instrument with each piece to compliment the song. We are multiple repeat partakers of his creativity!

    We have utilized Joe's amazing talent for many of our projects! He possesses great musical sensitivity and placed the right sonic expression and space that provided our cover song the low end and feel needed to take it to the top! Will be back.

    Joe not only enhanced the song with his unique expression and color, but he intuits the right tonality that draws out the rest of the instrumentation. This our second stint within a week and his turnaround time and communication throughout was fantastic!

    Joe..Joe...Joe....WHAT a player...+ a gent..& with mojo.

    Simply 10 stars. He IS what makes music great. Yup I know that sounds a little lofty, slightly hyped maybe? But he helped make my music, what seems to me to be great, and I'm sure he can do the same for you. I won't be using anyone other than Joe again.

    Just BRILLIANT

    Insanely, out of this world amazing. Delivered the tracks in no time, and were beyond my expectations. Definitely would recommend him for your bass sessions, and definitely will always go to him for bass parts.

    We songwriters and producers are extremely fortunate that Joe is on this site! His bass playing is the highest example of melodic, fluid and foundational. I keep coming back to him because I know he will elevate my simple ideas into something far greater.

    If your song needs the sickest bass lines imaginable, the kind of lines you think you can only imagine, Joe is you guys. And fast. Incredible.

    My second experience working with Joe. He is such a great talent and seasoned recording professional. He delivered three album-ready tracks that are each melodic, song-focused, dynamic, and pristinely recorded. Quite simply, he is a master-level musician who will elevate your tracks to their maximum potential. A total joy to work with him.

    Probably the quickest turnaround in SoundBetter history! Joe was awesome to work with and went above and beyond providing even more material to work with than promised. Just a solid performer, solid performance and a solid dude - a total pro!
