Well, I figured it was time to work up a way to turn these cool bass ideas into songs – so just for you, I developed this tutorial of different ideas you can use to transform a single bass idea into a complete track!

I studied music on both coasts (Berklee and SSU) and now I'm just trying to put my degree to some use. That's a music degree, not an English one. I'm sure you noticed.
