5 Things EVERY Studio Bassist Should Know (w/Sean Hurley).

[@johndelong9230]

Sean is one of my favorite, everyone he records or plays with says he is the real deal and a gentleman to boot...

[@adamdixon6326]

To boot? Like when he gets the boot?

[@johndelong9230]

@@adamdixon6326 Adam, the word "boot" is used as a slang in America's past. Meaning extra or also,

[@havardask]

Heck, even I as a Norwegian know that 🙂

[@tonyrichengod9280]

Sean Hurley also said something I resonate with: “I don’t think a bass should should like a guitar.” FACTS!

[@ArtbyJoeH]

Don’t take this the wrong way Scott, but Ian is my favourite bass presenter! Such enthusiasm! 😎🌟

[@BrileyNeyenhuis]

I loved tip number 4 (Be Cool). My favorite people to play with; not limited to bass players, are the ones that probably can steal the show with speedy overly complex chops. But are secure enough in themselves to show restraint and serve the song.

[@sharnoldpapa7339]

I was just going through this course last night. It is fantastic. He shares a ton of practical good advice.

[@switchmuso]

Just beautiful. At 7 minutes when he's talking about looking out for the drummer, hey man he's maybe got 15 takes in him... real pro.

[@marcblum5348]

Be prepared. Know you stuff. Don't waste other people's time. Be a nice chap, fit in, be low key and go with the flow.

[@wysiwyg2489]

The comments about having a pre-built pedal board and pre-printed nusic sheets are spot on, and a sign of professionalism. I might add that you should always plan to be 15 minutes earlier, if you are right on time you are late (I learned this from the Germans).

[@devinebass]

👍👍👍

[@tomf9292]

I played a live gig Saturday. Walked in with my p bass and plugged directly into house amp. Couple tweaks and was ready for sound check which took another 1/2 hr til the guitar, drums and keys set up. It’s good to be the bass player

[@ShaunParrish]

Awesome interview!!!

[@ianmackenzie686]

I'd add to this: Depending on your situation, turn down sessions with known a-holes or people you know you won't work well with. Certain personalities just don't belong together in a work situation. Avoid negative issues when you can.

[@joepollockbass]

Recently did this with a drummer. Could have gotten me some good gigs but... he would only want me to listen to him and never put my voice in, and he was just a straight up asshole.

[@ianmackenzie686]

[@thumbthump]

through composed is so important for bass because in any genre the bass generally doesn't stop. The page if full and it's hard to find repeats, D.S., codas...

[@IanMartinAllison]

Totally agree

To Mark Blum(see below): what you have written about the best way to do a session, is also great advice on how to get along with others in general in “everyday life.”esp. when they seem a lot “different” than you. And you will “feel a whole lot better” too. Thanks.

[@lespaul1323]

IS Sean Hurley related to Paul Mccartney? The mannerism is so similar. 😀

Facial expressions, hand gestures, it's all there. The only thing missing is a wink!

excellent vidoe thank you

[@Cysubtor_8vb]

I'm starting to amass a good amount of pedals and found myself tracing the route of cables for minutes just trying to practice. Was the first time I thought to myself, I may finally need to setup a pedalboard 🤣

[@IanMartinAllison]

It really does help!

[@crocholiday]

Oh man, being able to set my pedal board down and plug into it is so awesome. I highly recommend it. Side note... I had a guitar player that was horrified by my love of pedals. Naturally, I put as many on as I could fit whether I used them or not just to catch him standing over it scowling lol. He referred to my pedal board as "the abomination" haha.

[@Fender1031]

My brother learned it the hard way but people in the industry remember if you are a prick. He is a professional musician but it was a tough road for him because he had an inflated ego. He expected to show up to Nashville or LA and play what he wanted (guitarist and engineer) and 10 years later he was struggling to find gigs and was doing what he least wanted to do which was play for Christian ensemble singing records ... He eventually choked his humble pie down and is finally getting session opportunities with people he wants to play for. His ego was unfortunately inflated because he had toured with a well known pop act and thought that was his meal ticket to employment but then he realized he had to stand in line with the other 1,000 plus players looking for the same gigs in that city.

[@jakezonis17]

What is that switch you have on the stomp at the beginning!?

[@eirikkvalbein1568]

He both looks and sounds like American Paul McCartney hahahah

[@ricdotdev]

Why is no. 1 a "tip"? I always thought of this as fairly obvious and a no-brainer... Those who use loose pedals are usually those who use at most 2 pedals which changes at every or every other gig.

Think that’s his signature p, not sure if it’s a part of the bridge or a seperate piece of hardware

[@duncan-rmi]

it's the same mute, I think, that was fitted to the jaguar/jazzmaster & which is missing from my bass VI. never seen one on a precision before.
