    I never listened to it during a massage, but finding and then not stopping playing American Elm put you at my top artist on Spotify for 2024

    This is the draw of your podcast/channel: the introspection, the love and passion for playing music on bass, the tone chase. It’s why channels like That Pedal Show exploded for guys like me. We, as musicians, want to give people the best product that we’re capable of, all the time. You took an already successful collection of your music and sought to improve it! That’s so ballsy! I love it! And I bought a Colour Box because of your previous video/tour and I’m not even sure when I’ll use it, as I’m planning to utilize my full Helix with my rig.

    So glad you're updating your first recording. I wore that shit out(i.e. listened to it OBSESSIVELY!🤓) when it came out. Love the tunes and the playing aaaaaand...if I recall correctly, it was this recording that initiated a deep dive into the Tim Miller universe...Thanks, again, for decades of inspiration and uplift! Wishing you and your cohorts inspiration, hugely remunerative gigs, and tons of musical fun!
    ETA I listened to that live album obsessively as well. 😁🤗 Yeah, anniversary remix of it would be cool !

    "Bassist's Book" arrived today! 👍👏👏👍. During my undergrad days (I'm retired now) I was a double major - saxophone and bass - Used the Universal Method for Saxophone, Klose for Clarinet, Arban for Trumpet/Trombone, Hanon for piano for decades, both as a student and teacher! Having a book, reference of this type now for bass is very natural 🤘🎶 🎱

    🎱 Great video man, it made me want to listen to all the albums again! I have a question: I know you’ve talked about string action before, but it would be amazing if you could dive a little deeper into the topic in a future video. Is there any chance you might consider it? Getting a more detailed insight on your approach to action, right hand and sound would be really really valuable :)

    Here again at the end; what a fun trip through the discography, going to go back and check out some of the more “obscure” recordings, like the bass duo album. Looking forward to catching the remaster when it’s done. 8-ball emoji (can’t find it 😊).

    🤠These podcasts are a joy to watch and are very fruitful for bass players' growth. I live about 45 minutes from Yoshi's in Oakland but I couldn't get a ticket to the show last week; I'm wondering if I did would I have been able to get the 9 books I recently purchased from Amazon signed at the show or would that have even been a possibility. I have the signed Scale & Arpeggios, Major and Minor Chord books which I recently purchased from your website.

    Is there any worthwhile in having a completely dry recording and playing that through the pedals retrospectively to find the sound you want?

  • @NotThatOneThisOne
    @NotThatOneThisOne 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

    When hunting for a specific tone, do you ever record something to playback? When i find a tone whilst playing, I find it sounds different when I'm not actually playing.

    Watchig this podcast on a Sunday afternoon, and I have a tone related question (Kind of) - I have no recollection of seeing you with a headless Bass, yet i enjoy them for eveness of tone across the strings. Have you rejected headless bases due to tone or feel, or maybe something else ?

    • @janekgwizdala
      @janekgwizdala  22 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      It’s not that I’ve rejected them at all, I’ve just never really played them period. I also use a zero fret in my main basses which I think gets the sound in a similar zone of the headless.
