That's a good qeustion, I'll have to get back to you on that. Till then:

My teacher once said I don't work and play well with others... just kidding.
No hourly rate. Few of us are rich. I'm happy to work out a "whatever you can manage" deal. If your project really interests me I'm more apt to track for modest compensation.

I have been playing bass for over thirty years (since I was ten). I am classically trained on string bass (upright). I am largely self taught on electric though I have studied with some great professionals. I have played in community orchestra's and pit orchestras for plays and musical productions. I read charts and music. I studied audio recording in college and have worked as a professional recording engineer and live FOH engineer and monitor mixer. I have recorded with a number of bands.
