ABOUT

https://cosmopolitan6.wixsite/massimoz

I am a professional bassist using a 5-string Fender-style bass tuned EADGC. This unique setup gives me the traditional low-end weight of a 4-string bass, combined with the extended upper register of a melodic instrument.

HAPPY TO TUNE DOWN TO Eb

Styles & Specialities

Power Rock Trios: I specialize in filling the sonic "vacuum" inherent in three-piece bands. I deliver a fat, locked-in foundation that allows the guitarist complete freedom.

Ambient & New Age (Windham Hill ECM Style): I treat the bass as a harmonic canvas. Using my high-C string, I craft lush chordal textures, ambient soundscapes, and expressive melodies perfect for cinematic projects, acoustic duos, and atmospheric jazz.

Jazz Trios: I provide a reliable, interactive pulse. My tuning allows for horn-like phrasing during solos without losing the capability to drop right back into a deep, supportive walk.
