    Programming The HX Stomp For Bass

    Programming The HX Stomp For Bass

    I'm programming new sounds for my HX Stomp today, and getting into some fundamental and more importantly useful sounds for regular bass players.
    As much as the YouTube algorithm might feed you some of the more flashy and soloistic moments of my career, the bigger portion of my bass playing life has been spent in the lower register of the instrument holding the band together.
    With that in mind, I would like to put some more useable presets out into the world, and I just started breaking the ice in today's podcast with the HX Stomp and what might be possible.
    You can get my existing HX Stomp Preset Pack HERE https://janekgwizdala.com/store/line6-presets
    And fresh copies of Bass Player’s Guide to Pentatonics just arrived last night. Get a signed copy before they’re sold out again! https://janekgwizdala.com/store
    More soon,
    Janek

    Ian Martin Allison Interview

    Ian Martin Allison Interview

    In an effort to be all about the in-person interview as much as possible on the podcast, I flew out to Minneapolis to hang with bassist, podcaster and educator Ian Martin Allison this past weekend.
    We talked about the very contrasting ways in which we use the Line6 HX Stomp, touring as a sideman vs musical director, how being a parent changes everything, and what it's like to transition from freelance musician to artist.

    This is my wish list for more guests in 2024:
    Nathan east
    Larry Klein 
    Lee Sklar
    Sean Hurley
    Stefan Lessard 
    Tim Lefebvre 
    Stu Hamm 
    Jimmy Earl
    Jimmy Haslip 
    Justin chancellor 
    Who else you got?

    New Distortion & Compressor Pedals!

    New Distortion & Compressor Pedals!

    Does the bass world really need yet another distortion and compression pedal? There are literally 100's of each to choose from at this point, and it is no longer a surprise when a new builder pops up and announces a new one has arrived.
    I have some of them, but by no means all. I've played a lot of them, but not every single one. In my humble opinion, one that isn't being paid for by anyone, these two pedals from Lusithand have rather a lot of music to offer us.
    I hope you enjoy the longer podcast format for pedal stuff. Let me know in the comments if you want more of it.

    We're diving deep, exploring setups from under $500 all the way to the stratosphere of luxury gear. There's something here for every bassist, whether you're just starting out or a seasoned pro.
    And hey, I know I've got a ton of gear, but there's always more out there! If I missed your favorite compressor or pre-amp, drop a comment or contact the company. Who knows? Maybe we'll team up with the builder for a demo on the channel!
    More soon,

    What It Costs To Be a Musician in 2024

    What It Costs To Be a Musician in 2024

    In a continued effort to be as transparent as possible with my process, this episode breaks down some of the financial realities of running several small businesses as a musician.
    It all started 30 years ago as being "just" a bass player, but it's come a long way and is still evolving. With business interests in online education, content creation around pedals and gear, writing books, making documentaries, producing, writing, recording, and touring as a musician, there is enough subject matter for 50 episodes.
    This just scrapes the surface and gives you a brief look inside what my day to day looks like. Please jump in the comments and ask questions if there is something major that you think I missed.
    More soon,
    Janek

    Bass Signal Path Explained

    Bass Signal Path Explained

    In this episode I'm sharing some thoughts on bass signal path when it comes to building pedalboards.
    We look at ideas for pedals routed in series as well as the current setup I have where I'm using parallel loops. I also go over a huge list of pre amps and compressors I'm considering for my "clean" signal.
    Pedals are a never ending world of experimentation for me. I don't think there's a "right" way to do any of it, and I highly recommend you start with the questions "what am I hearing?" and "how do I make that sound".
    The only right way to do it is to make things sound the way you hear them.
    More soon,
    Janek
