BIG IVE HOME PAGE

Welcome to BIG IVE (some call me BIG IVE).  I am a professional and dependable freelance 6, 5, and 4 string electric BASSIST, including Upright BASS.  I love all music genres, and I play jazz, fusion, rnb, soul/funk, blues, rock, metal, country, hip hop, gospel, reggae, latin, pop, and/or what ever you need me to play for studio and live performances, I play many BASS techniques, such as traditional fingering, thump and pluck (slap), pick, and some hammer and tap, I have passport and I can and will travel, I can be a stand in BASSIST, (playing BASS and music production is my only occupation).  I prefer to have your material on cd or emailed mp3, or written music or charts with keys 48 hours in advance.  I read and write music.

I am a professional BASS instructor,  teaching beginner to intermediate BASS and music theory, with an average of 7 students per week, and I am accepting more students. Please go to my 'BASS LESSONS INTRODUCTION' page for more details.

I study my BASS like I'm a scientist, and I study music theory, composition, harmony, and arranging, like im in a music conservatory.  I am also working on my 2nd cd (a jazz tribute project). Make sure you go to all of my pages listed on the left to hear, see and contact BIG IVE.
