Well, you decide for yourself. I make it a point to alter what I do to fit who I'm playing with. That changes radically from night to night. 5-string full tilt one night, frettless the next, upright (acoustic), 4-string retro. I have a variety of basses and use them to be as "legitimate" as possible.
I operate ProTools TDM here at my residence and my bass tracks are for hire worldwide. Currently, I’m working here via the web with artists & singer/songwriters to develop a wide variety of music. I own and use many different basses in order to achieve the right vibe and sound for each track. Please Send me a Message to request further details.
