Double bass and electric bass session musician for $70

In demand as a creative Double Bass session player and touring musician. Fluent in all styles and flexible when it comes to working from complex charted arrangements or creating original parts by ear. I've played on many albums, appeared in theatre productions, on television and toured worldwide.

My background and main reputation is as a jazz Bassist, composer and a mainstay of the London jazz scene, having played with many of the pre-eminent jazz musicians in the UK and Europe including Julian Arguelles, Marius Neset, Gwilym Simcock, Gwyneth Herbert, and Yazz Ahmed amongst many others. I'm also in demand for a broad range of different ensembles, playing with musicians from everywhere from South America to the Balkans. I've also worked in the theatre, as a session musician, and toured with singer songwriters. Whilst my main specialization is jazz, I often play with the bow (arco). I also work as an electric bass player, composer, arranger, and often contribute guitar parts and arrangements to collaborative singer-songwriter projects.
I'm looking forward to working with you and aim to find just the right sound and bass part to compliment your project.
Very happy to do a revision or 2 for free if reasonable. Can also send a few quick demos of ideas for you to choose your favourite. Typically turn around in less than a week.
Fee negotiable depending on the project but typically $70 per track.
Interested in collaborations and contributing written material to a project.
My home studio gear includes Hungarian Double Bass, DPA bass mic, Rode Condensor mics, Ken Smith Electric Bass, Focusrite Scarlett interface, Ibanez fretless Electric bass, Telecaster electric guitar, Takemine acoustic guitar, Mandolins, 12 string acoustic guitar.

Endorsements
I've worked a lot with Dave over the last decade, in jazz clubs, schools and concert halls. He is a brilliant bass player (double and electric), reader and improviser. He's also a really great guy to have on a session; relaxed, on it, creative, super friendly and gets on with everyone. Whether it's jazz, commercial, cross arts or education Dave's your man!
