Business Cards

I don't think that it matters as much as having recorded examples of your playing on soundcloud or bandcamp and of course YouTube. Make sure you're searchable

For sure, the card will have a link to my YouTube. I've also thought of making a SoundCloud just to post some studio recordings as examples of me recording for others.

I need to work on making myself searchable though. Should probably get a LinkedIn and begin associating my YouTube/social media with my real name to further my presentation.

I'd consider something catchier than your real name assuming their are others with it. Something that sticks out of a search.

My name will probably stick out enough. The only other musician that shows up with my name is an aging blues musician, so there shouldn't be any confusion. It's not a stage-sounding name I s'pose, and maybe I'll come up with one, but my real name should suffice, especially for doing the kind of studio work I'm aiming for.

Having a well recorded soundcloud and bandcamp that shows off your chops is where I'd start. Even if it's unaccompanied, but stuff that just shows off the breadth of your technique and shows that you can groove.

I can't really see how a business card would help you as a bassplayer. Who are you intending to hand it to? That's the first thing you need to ask

I'd really think about who you're targeting this at: I mean if you're a metal bassplayer consider a totally different graphic design for a card to a Indie-Pop, or if you want to do scoring for TV commercials.

>Who are you intending to hand it to?
Literally everyone I meet within the musical field. I play shows frequently and meet new people frequently as a result. People have asked for my card and I just don't have one right now.

I'm a session bassist, meaning I'll do anything that pays.

Realistically guys, I'm just looking for graphical ideas. I do appreciate all the other advice so far though, since it's certainly relevant.
