Legend. As I said in my other reviews, there is no better bassist on this site than Chris. Period.
- check_circleVerified
The best in the business. 3rd track Chris did of many more! Speedy and a monster at his instrument. Don’t look anywhere else for a bassist, Chris is the guy.
- check_circleVerified
OK. As a guitarist who has spend unrecoverable time and dollars on the quest for tone, I thought I had it down. That was until I received Chris's final bass mixes. His bass makes my guitars sound like coke cans being squashed on the footpath. His tone, the squasher of sed cans!
But seriously if you live in an area where bass players are more unreliable than tradesmen or you just don't like to leave the studio on the quest for eligible low end gurus. Do yourself a kindness and hire Chris. Pro!

Chris is hands down the best. So quick and clear and cares about the sound and style. Second of many tracks with Chris, this guy is the G.O.A.T.
- check_circleVerified
Wow. Blown away. Quick response and quick delivery, but the most important part is that he nailed everything. Chris is a pro!!
- check_circleVerified
After 9 songs it can be safely determined through scientific method that Chris's bass service is like having the wrath of mother nature as something to call upon when required. Only without the chaos, uncertainty and heartache. The devastating result however remains in tact. Operate under extreme caution!

Chris provided a solid and great sounding bass track for my original tune. He followed the schedule as promised and made extra efforts to modify parts to meet my vision. Thanks Chris!

If Jabba the Hut was musician he would play bass and his biggest inspiration would be Chris!
He would spend countless hours researching what gear Chris used. What amps? What pedals? Watching YouTube videos, etc...But no matter how hard the mighty Jabba tries. He'll never be as good as the original.

Chris did a fantastic job for the song and the bass was recorded and edited absolutely fine.
Looking forward to working with him again. - check_circleVerified
Somewhere.... Out there.... There is a frequency so deep scientists are out of ideas as to where it comes from? A low ominous rumble that causes men and women alike to become aroused yet confused? They don't know why they feel the way they do, but they like it. To this day the mystery remains unsolved. Personally I think this big sexy sound is coming from Chris's studio? Will we ever know?

When you look at images of mount Olympus you may not be aware? What you are actually seeing is a visual representation of Chris's tone.
Some say, his tone is actually what caused the mountains to be pushed up from the earth. - check_circleVerified
What can I say? I've done 5 tracks with Chris now and the last one consisted of a revision 0.5 seconds long! Essentially nailing it in one go! Can't argue with that! Top stuff.
- check_circleVerified
If you have ever sat down to record an instrument you may know how difficult it can be. Chris is well experienced and accomplished in the realm of Bass Bad Assery!
- check_circleVerified
Chris puts up with my fussy pain in the back side and I really appreciate it! He's playing is detailed and professional. Love it!
- check_circleVerified
My Second track completed with Chris.
A second great experience.Working with a musician in a room is challenging. Working online via email is also quite challenging but Chris is able to navigate through the inter webs of confusion and deliver wicked sounding Bass!
Thanks mate.
- check_circleVerified
He's the best in the field.
That's why so many people want to work with him.
I recommend working with him. - check_circleVerified
Don't let the image of Chris sitting quietly with his bass fool you. This guy can seriously rip it up on heavier tracks and his tone sounds like a tank rolling menacingly down a war torn street! Highly recommended!
- check_circleVerified
I've worked with Chris on almost 10 songs now and he still impresses me every time

Interview with Chris Kollias
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: In general I am obsessed with signal pathing. Always trying to improve and offer top quality. I run my gear through Red Sound cables, into a Line Audio 2MP preamp & RME ADI2 conversion. I am using an RME Raydat pci-E audio interface for maximum workload and 0 latency. Using Cubase 10 as my DAW. I have a pair of KRK Rokit monitors and DT770 Pro headphones.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Most of my completed jobs are metal related
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Adaptable and flexible
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I try to create lines that will serve the song as a whole, pushing it with energy.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: After receiving the stems or the separate tracks, I setup everything in a project and check that all is fine. If there are certain instructions or guidelines I follow them and create a rough track for the recording. After sorting everything out and having the final form of the bass track, I record it with fresh strings and final takes.
