Has anyone heard of Fiverr? Get paid to play.

Interesting.
The second one was my favourite.
I do wonder if any of these players are on TB!

 

Me too! I found it interesting to see all the different takes on the same drum pattern. Some of them put in a lot of changes that a chording instrument would have to follow, some didn't. Made me feel a little old though since my slap is pretty much non-existent

 

Well, best line, best value? Number 5.

But in my humble opinion, he wasted his money—the bass line he recorded himself is killer.

 

Cool vid. I actually did really like the last ones

 

I did too. I felt that his experience made him realize that most players who don't play the bass would want something fairly simple that would be easy for other instruments to lay over without being obtrusive. But those lines weren't flashy and slappy and that's what the person making the video wanted.

I also didn't get the poster's disparagement over those who didn't send video. If you're looking for an audio track, why would you care if someone sends you a video or not?

 

There was never any doubt that Davie504 could record a killer line for the track: He has 3M subscribers for a reason. The money he spent was nothing compared to what he makes off his YouTube videos.

 

That was a very cool experiment. Each bass line was truly unique given the same drum track.

Somewhat related, I used a Fiver graphic artist based in Sri Lanka to bring my vision for my business logo into reality.
She did a great job! Well worth the money spent.

 

Hmmm... now I'm thinking we should upload our own attempts at this...

 

No way. This thread is reminding me of that thread about comparing ourselves to others

 

I’m active on Fiverr. It’s been a great additional income here at my recording studio.

 

I'm actually pretty impressed with those cheaper cost bass lines. They were all solid. So if you need an original bass line, Fiverr may be the way to go.

The one I like I best (for the drums) is #4 (29.79 Euros).

 

His was the best of them all but 5 was the best of the ones that were sent to him.
I thought 4's tone sounded like plastic.. horrible.
He wasted his money on 9.

 

I thought that the last player's three lines would be the kind of thing most songwriters would want on a song whereas the others appeared to want to show off their speed and chops.

 

Number 5 was most bang for the buck.
His own was stellar

 

Totally agree. The lines were much more functional to an actual song, which is what you would expect from a session player.
