Matt Bissonette has played with the who’s who of the music industry – serving as a first-call bass player for artists such as Ringo Starr, Elton John, David Lee Roth, and Jeff Lynne, to name just a few. And for Friends fans, you can also hear his bass chops on the in-show music, which – believe it or not – ended up being his most lucrative gig.
“Never in a million years did I think that doing those Friday, once-a-month Friends sessions would turn into the highest-paying gig I've ever had!” he tells Bass Player with a chuckle.
