Bass Guitar

Hi, there! My name is Alec, I am a gigging musician and teacher in the LA Area.  I love the bassist and I have spent most of my life learning and studying the instrument. I studied classical and Jazz at Northern Arizona University for 2 years before transferring to Berklee School of Music, where I studied Music Performance and Jazz Composition for 5 years. Now I am a gigging musician in Los Angeles as well as a teacher.
