Malc62 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I used to entertain the idea of being a session bassist, but a certain American bass player implied that I'd have to be able to sight-read jazz fusion inside out and ar*e backwards. As I don't get on with most forms of jazz and my keen ear got me out of having to read much as a youngster, that was me stuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I don't think I could be a session player simply because I like having a steady wage. However, stylistically, I'd like to think I'd give it a good go. I usually play jazz fusion and 1980's pop music, so I'd like to think my chops were held in reasonable condition and that I'd be able to give most things a shot.

Telebass Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I'd love to be asked to do it, but in all honesty, I've not the abilty to be very versatile. My reading is minimal - I'd cannot sight read at all. I could work it out eventually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
