Sign in to disble this ad
I got this email from a guy wanting me to add bass tracks to his songs. He said that its a paid job, now I'm very eager to play in the tracks, I dont want to pick a price that will drive him away, I'm not very greedy too, so I'm not gonna ask for alot.
I'm fairly new to this so I dont know how much I should ask for per song. |
