Cool production choices on the video!

what was he playing at the start? i first heard it at the sbl interview

🍸I think a more succinct description of "boutique" is that the builder has made one or more *intentional* choices - design, construction, wood choices, pickups, preamps, hardware, etc.

Does anybody could tell me the name of model and brand of the bass behind Janek's back?, (the one with the white pickups)

🦆Thanks Janek. A whole new world has opened up for me. Can yo maybe mention one of your compositions where the Harmonic Major has been used, and if you can elaborate over which chords this scale would be useful in improvisation?

Great podcast! Yes!

🍣 same relic as the blue!

Great vid & congratulations on the proto bass. Sound n looks wicked! Love the double reverse P!

Tight as f

Janek might have worked this out by now, but since he is using it in mono, so he could wire the HX One up in two positions in his signal chain and choose the "pre" or "post" position for each preset (the other position is bypassed). It's designed for 4CM around an amp, but you could just add easily have it hopping from one position to any another, like from post-amp to end of chain, for instance. I've got mine set to first in line and just after my preamp, so it can do comp, filters, octave or fuzz/synth up front, or mods, harmoniser, delays (even bitcrusher, if you're nasty), after the amp and before my "wets".

The language, oh my gosh! Sounds like someone singing!

Janel is your bass setup for B E A D G?

I have been a musician for 4 decades. When I was in music school I wanted to be this amazing bassist and then I heard so many incredible players and my private teacher who was world class said, "just be you" and always play musically.Play the music not your ego. Do your homework for gigs do your OWN work to strive to get better. Listen to everything not just your instrument. Be teachable , music is a joy and can be a moving experience. It's not a competition. Love the music and it will love you And listen to Janek he is a wonderful musician and Tutor. Now go play :)

Man I just want to thank you such great content. 🙏🏻

Another thought along with “relearning” bass guitar: I was planning on getting your sight reading book and the pentatonic book. Would you also suggest the newest, “Scales and Arpeggios”? I’m not opposed to another book.

It SHOULD be a Pbass! You on Fenders is amazing 🤩

The Stambaugh headless 5 I’m ordering next month is boutique to me. It’ll be my main instrument. I may get a P bass down the road, but that depends on how versatile Chris’ instrument is in my hands. Due to your influence, I’ll string it EADGC with an octave pedal for below E. Are there any string manufacturers who makes sets in that tuning or am I forced to buy six string sets and discard the low B? 🍸

Hi, Janek! Is there a video of you playing the whole tune fast? I mean coplete solo and not only some of 2 5 1 phrases.. I'd really love to hear it! Your concept and tips sound amazing and book material seems good too! But in slow tempos all of jazz standards not as hard as you think.

That sounded great. You make that song move.

that look at the end when the bass dropped. ugh worst feeling ever.

Damn!! 🔥🔥🔥 is that your new RKM?

Song name/artist? I want to give the full thing a listen😁

Great exercise, brilliant way of seen how it all works

Just got mine in!

Super tone!

God that bass is beautiful

I don't see anything wrong with an artist changing anything...that's artistic expression. A painter will use different colours, and in fact, display different styles over a lifetime of work. Musical artists write new songs, new music. Why do some people make negative comments about a bass player who uses a different bass or amp, or effects? Why not try things differently, why not experiment? I think that's exactly why artists are who they are, to be creative.

What a handsome engineer

As far as the knee up style of holding the bass-maybe the height/body shape of the player may be of concern. I am a shorter player, with shorter limbs, and just can't play like that. Janek, are you a taller human? That might be part of the equation.

I think of boutique less as rarity and more about being hand made with quality materials and craftsmanship. I think you can have rare/prototype instruments that are not boutique.

Grooving 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥

Harmonic major is like major scale with lowered sixth degree.

YES!!!

I can't express how much I like your groove +chord playing in this section, sublime!

Guessing that scale used in Hebrew, arabic and some mideast cultures.

🍸 Such a bummer you get lame comments. Never take it personally and don’t let it bring you down! Thanks for all you bring to the bass world. 💖

Who knew that Ian could beatbox?!?!

Thanks fellas!

You really should get yourself an Adamovic

Cool video and lesson ! Where i can find the backing track to pratice ? Thanks u !

I would be happy to pay shipping and a little extra if that extra can go to help subsidising another coffee drinker @janek - we are a family no? support our mates

🍸 Great video! I have a Mattisson 6-string on the way from Anders. Another fantastic boutique builder is Pete Skjold.

🍸 (found one) :)

I switched from the OC-2 to the MXR Vintage and now to the Seamoon Octaver. Very cool sound for R&B, Funk and Fusion.

No need to worry about earning money. You could actually consider it pretty clever to take the opportunity to put something away for "retirement" (do you get too old to play even?). You are a good bass player, and you have played a plethora of high-end instruments, so you might think you know a thing or two about basses - good for you, good for them, reciprocity.

I have a question what is the best way of practicing chromatic skills. And still be musical while doing it.

Hi Janek, I'm really interested in buying a MXR M81, but I've red it can be hissy as a D.I., is it a problem you've encountered while using it or was it silent enough to be used without problems? Oh, and thank you for the amazing contents you share!

Is it possible to have a discret overdrive as the Darkglass Vintage Micotubes?

🍸Is Dingwall a boutique bass? The made in Canada version specifically. What do you think?
