Happy new year to everyone. It's my resolution to come on here much more often. Glad to be a part of the bass community

Hi guys, what sort of rates should I charge for giving bass lessons?
-
Hi guys, got a question about session work. I've been offered some work with a guy who's recording an album in a few months. He want to know what my rates are and if I charge hourly or per song. Anyone know what I should be charging for that sort of thing?
Thanks -
I've been thinking about string choice for a while and with bass strings being quite pricey, it's hard to experiment with them. I've used both flatwounds, nickel and stainless steel roto's in the past but never really knew which was the right choice. My latest set were elixir 45's and they just blew me away. I busk quite a lot so it's a lot of lead work (slapping, tapping and chords). Just wanted to know if anyone can recommend which guage is the best for me?

I trust the reference to 70's prog rock is Pink Floyd orientated

How do all. My name's Russ and I'm a 23 year old bass player from Cumbria. I've been playing for almost 10 years and I live for the bass. Gigged all over the place from Carlisle to London in various function bands and my own band Violent Karma. I'm currently planning on teaching the bass privately amidst busking and gigging.
Equipment- American Fender Jazz
Ibanez SR506 6 string bass
Stagg acoustic bass
Elixir strings
Fender bassman kickback 150 watts
Roland bass micro cube
Boss loop pedal
If there's a bassline to play, I'll play it, I don't have a preference of genre when playing. I'll give anything a listen but I'll always have a soft spot for 70's prog and heavy rock.
It's a pleasure to join you all.
