Bass player in L.A?

[Sebastian2113]

Justin(or anyone else who reads this), I was wondering if you had any advice for someone trying to make it as a session musician in L.A? I plan on moving to L.A. in my near future with a bunch of friends and attending school down there. What are some tips you would have to start getting known and to start getting session jobs while I'm there?

Thanks,
Sebastian

My first advice to you is to try some searches in this forum.

play everywhere you can, with anyone you can, all the time. when you get home, play with records, new and old. find as much inspiration as you can. get into writing, engineering and producing so you can see things from different perspectives. make sure everything you release in any form (myspace, youtube, mp3's, CD burns, etc) is as great as it can be: it's your name you're building.
