Bass in the studio
Today's recording technology can do a lot, but using real players can breathe life into a track and set you apart from the competition.
I am a bassist and composer offering remote bass guitar recording services from my home studio in Northumberland, UK. If you have a track that requires some professional live bass playing I can help you. Styles covered include rock, pop, blues, country, funk and metal. I can compose a new line for you, replace your own track or anything in-between.
Professional bass guitar recording
I have a variety of high-quality basses at my disposal and I can suggest what may be suitable for your track based on your brief. I generally supply 24-bit DI and/or mic tracks at up to 96KHz.
The basses:
- Overwater Custom Jazz 5-String
- Fender Custom Shop Roscoe Beck Jazz 5-string
- Fender American Standard Precision
- Fender Jazz fretless with East preamp and Aguilar pick-ups
- Kubicki Ex-Factor 4
- Yamaha TRB6 Mk1
- Yamaha TRB5 Mk1
- Yamaha BB1500a Jazz
I use the industry-standard Avalon U5 preamp through an RME UCX interface for the purest tone possible. I can also provide mic'd tracks or re-amps recorded in my acoustically-treated studio using amps and cabs from Mark Bass, Trace Elliot and Barefaced.
Please enquire for pricing - as a guide a typical 3-5 min song costs from £79 for an original bass line. I will send you mp3 files to
preview your bass-line, and you only pay for the 24bit WAV/AIFF file when you
are happy. Just contact me if you have any unusual requirements!
Payment is via Paypal and includes most credit and debit cards.
Live bass guitar performance
I am available for live dates in the North East of England and beyond. Get in touch if you're in a spot and need a bass guitar dep! I regularly play with York's finest party band Huge who are regulars at large festivals and venues.

Lovely stuff - thanks so much! Richard Wilkinson, Composer
Jez is a cool dude with lots of feel and groove! James Harrison, Musical Director
Fantastic - what a great feel. Sounds brilliant! Ian Donaghy, Huge Party Band
I was particularly pleased that you listened to what I was looking for
and then added your own ideas. The results exceeded my expectations as
the bassline has some great hooks that really give an additional
engaging dimension to the song.
Steve Hayes, Songwriter.
