Downside of session life

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey JMJ!
well, I have to say this section of talkbss is really managing to put a lot of things in perspective for me!
but i wanted to see what are some of the things your not too happy about during your session work!
I dont want you to badmouth people or your work on certain songs (god forbid ), but I just wanted to see what some of the things you would warn others about are!

There is a downside to session work? Maybe I don't get to do enough session work, but the only downside to session work that I can see is carting 45 basses, 10 amps, and hundreds of pedals

No downside to bringing that gear, someone does it for me! Boo yah.

Otherwise, the only downside to sessions is hacking away at a part with a producer or artist who can't articulate what they are after, or are having you mimic something to a state of complete verbatim perfection. And if THOSE people aren't paying enough? Then you've got a real recipe for being bummed.
