Bass

I have been playing bass for over 10 years in various bands ranging from indie rock to funk to metal as well as function bands for weddings and parties. I also studied music at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London where I learnt other styles such as pop, jazz, blues, soul, latin and reggae. I record using a variety of amps, pedals and plugins so i can deliver raw DI signal, fully mixed track, raw amp audio or a mixture. I can also record drums and guitar or mix and master an entire project and can offer deals if you want more parts recorded. Please see my other services.

I am delighted to offer 14 years experience as a bass player to your music.

I have a range of basses and tones available and am happy to adapt to whatever style you require. I am experienced in rock/pop, Motown, funk and progressive styles.
Happy to play as instructed or get creative and write a fresh line for your track. I focus on groove and melody in my playing and always aim to support and enhance your vocal hooks and grooves.

I record at my home studio, using a quality large diaphragm condenser mic, I use Reaper with a FocusRite interface. I specialize in classical music, although I have recorded with many different style bands, including; rock, jazz, pop, musicals and country. I can record any of three bass guitars, a P Bass, P/J five string bass, a vintage P style bass with flat wound strings. I use a variety of amps dependant on the style of music you are going for, I can also record a DI track at no extra charge.

I have worked with renowned cellist Patricio Villarejo, and famous singers such as Pedro Aznar and Litto Nebbia. I have recorded the strings for other local artists such as Kanu, Carlos Rodas, and Vilsevind.

My name is Jake DeJarnett and I’m a session bassist out of Nashville Tn, with my own high end recording studio capable of providing a solid bass line to your tracks.

Using top of the line gear like Neve, SSL, Kemper, Avalon, and hundreds of plugins for tracking and high end basses like Fender and Warwick to achieve great tone. The tools for the job plus the experience of working for 16 years as a professional musician combine to a great sounding and feeling bass line to match your tracks style and intensity.

I have worked with artists and producers like Caleb Quaye (Elton John), Dustin Smith(Here Be Lions), Michael Farren (Lauren Daigle, Pocket Full Of Rocks), Kellie and Kristen, and a lot more. I am very flexible and work to please the ears of the producer and artist.

I consistently get feedback that my tone, style, and groove are exactly what they’re looking for and how they are drag and drop files which work perfect for the track.

Charting music by ear and having the song written down as its being played, allows me to get right to work and have a product back to you in a timely fashion. Usually 1 day!

I deliver a professionally recorded bass line to fit the creative vision for the song that is completely edited and time aligned to the grid to make sure things are tight.

On delivery I send the raw “DI” files as well as the “Amp”ed recordings, and a mix of how I would process the bass for a mix ready version to just drop into your session.

I LOVE helping artists solidify their vision and give them exactly what they would want from a remote session bassist. I look forward to working with you!
