    #196: LA's Bass Guy Next Door
    Dec 8 2025
    How a versatile bassist built a career touring with today’s pop stars From Six Flags shows to Coachella, Bonnaroo, and headline runs with modern chart-toppers like Dominic Fike and Remi Wolf, bassist Sean Sobash has built a sustainable touring career through community, versatility, and smart business decisions. He shares how jam sessions led to major gigs, how to negotiate fair pay, when to say no — and why prioritizing relationships will book you far more work than any other avenue. If you’re a young musician dreaming of the road… Sean’s journey is the blueprint. In this episode, Sean, Nomad, and Joel dive into: ⭐ The power of community over cattle calls — jam sessions → touring opportunities (not waiting in 100-person audition lines) ⭐ What touring should pay (and why rates matter) — minimums, sliding scales, and protecting the profession from undercutting ⭐ Knowing when to walk away — juggling overlapping tours, friendships, and long-term opportunities ⭐ Balancing “rockstar energy” with professionalism — look the part, but remember: you’re there to work ⭐ Why versatility = survival — electric bass, synth bass, upright, doubling duties ⭐ Making LA sustainable — networking with intention, good hangs, and keeping your ego out of business decisions 📌 Connect with Sean Sobash Instagram: @seansobash Artist credits: Dominic Fike, Remi Wolf, Luke Hemmings, Rooney… and more Exclusive Career Musician Resources 🌟 VIP All-Access Pass (All TCM Products in One Bundle) → https://thecareermusician.com/membership/all-access-vip-pass/ 🎛 PA Rehearsal Studios Official Sponsor (L.A.)
