The Art of Subbing, by Mitchell Coates

Hello fellow bass players!  I am very grateful to have an opportunity to write this article.  I have read many bass articles over the years and always wanted the chance to do it myself.  For the first time I am able to do this so I hope you enjoy the information.  In this article I wanted to focus the attention on subbing gigs.  This is a subject that I really enjoy talking about.  First I wanted to clarify what I mean when I say “Subbing”.  I am sure most people will know what I mean by using that terminology but just in case you don’t, I want to make sure we are all on the same page.  Subbing is when you do a performance that is not with you regular band and you will be performing with them for the fist time or maybe not.......
