I've gotten to do all sorts of recording sessions ranging from sitting in somebody's basement with headphones overdubbing to full band productions with world class producers in massive commercial studios in LA, New York and elsewhere. Weather the type of session or even the type of music my aim is usually the same, Play a part that is true to the music, groove, give it vibe, and lay down a solid foundation. Also, I find that the more I'm true to what the music needs the groove and vibe pretty much take care of themselves. I just need to bring them out. 

I started recording bass when I was a teenager and I've had a lot of great people over the years to help guide, teach,  and advise me along the way. I try to bring that advice and knowledge into what I record day to day and always keep an ear open for something new that I can learn. I love working with a great producer or an artist that has a real vision of how a song or album should end up. At the same time it's also great to be given free reign to do what I want with a track. Either way my goal is to have the client say, "Oh wow, that's exactly what I wanted," or  "Oh wow, that's exactly what that track needed." All of this is subjective as well. Playing stylistically correct is great and all but if the artist or producer wants it or it just seems like a good idea then putting a distortion/thrash bass solo over a beautiful acoustic number can be a great thing also. It doesn't happen everyday but it has and that is part of what makes recording such a blast.
