Alberto Rigoni Pro Bassplayer on SoundBetter

Worldwide known Italian bass player with + 25 years of experience and + 40 albums recorded in the last 10 yrs. Featured on the covers of many bass magazines around the world. Pop, rock, hard-rock, metal, ambient or "creative", with all the bass tones you need. Hi-end basses and recording gear. Professional, fast communication and delivery.

The bass part often determines the overall feel and vibe of a song, and a human performing that part adds something that a sample often can't quite get to. You owe it to yourself and your music to bring the very best.

Nathan East (the most famous session man bassist) "My friend Alberto Rigoni is quite a skilled musician and displays a high degree of technique and musical taste in his playing. Along with a very nice personality, I would recommend for bass online session recordings".

I will provide the bass you need! I can play exactly what you want (if you provide me a MIDI or bass track demo) or I can create the bass lines. Fretted, fretless, acoustic basses. With all the bass tones you want from vintage to modern.

Just an example of the bass I own:
Fender Jazz Bass 1965 Original 4 string
Fender Precision 1964 Original 4 string
Fender Precision Deluxe Special 5 string
Rickenbacker 4003 4 string
Ken Smith BSR5 Elite 5 string
MusicMan Sting Ray 5 string
Ibanez Gary Willis 5 string fretless
Cort Acoustic Bass 4 string

Recording gear:
Several valve or solid state preamps, top end compressor like Empirical Labs Distressor etc.

    È stato un onore e un privilegio avere avuto l'opportunità di collaborare con un musicista eccezionale come Alberto Rigoni. Ogni volta che lo sento suonare, il suo basso diventa l'anima pulsante del brano. La sua padronanza dello strumento e delle progressioni, insieme alla capacità di creare linee di basso che fondono perfettamente potenza ed emozione, aggiunge una dimensione unica alle nostre collaborazioni.
