Important Correction: During the episode we get to talking about how some instruments define players and genres. I totally blew it when it came to one of my heroes Joel Smith. I said he played a Ken Smith bass (which he could have done at some point... 🤷‍♀), but I was way off in terms of what his main instruments were. I've seen him play MTD and Fbass, and if you have more information or would like to comment on this thread I would welcome any insights you have into the legend of gospel bass that was Joel Smith. 🙏

Didn't know you were into gospel bass at all. Get your ears on Michael Atkins ( "Big Mike" ) from The Pilgrim Jubilees. Start with the "In Revival" album. Mike was a jazz bassist "stuck" in gospel quartet genre. He's a treat if your ear works. Cheers.

One of the better interviews I've seen in a long time. You both have such wonderful and unique approaches to the instrument and it was a blast to hear you share (and play together!!) for a while. Thank you both so much!

The fact that Ian interviewed Janek as much as Janek interviewed Ian is such a beautiful testament to the value of coming together with another artist and being wide open to each other’s perspectives and experiences. It’s more a conversation, or even a therapy session, than it is an interview.

OMG, this is a thing now? Pinch me. I feel like the world is getting better and better. More bass players are coming together to share their ideas. LUV IT! Sorry for being overly excited to watch this 💗

This felt like the bassist version of Actors on Actors; your similarities and differences compliment each other so brilliantly. Not that you’re going to be a new “series regular” on SBL, but man, if this is what it could be? You’re making us hungry for more of you, Scott, and Ian together. 🙌

I don’t normally tune into Podcasts because the conversations feel one-sided. This was a great conversation between two great and accomplished bassists. This is a format I can get into.

@chrisbardolph 6 ай бұрын

My first instinct was to comment something like "It'd be really cool to see you guys playing a Bass VI and see what sounds come out of it." My second thought was, hmmm, maybe I should pick up my own Bass VI and see what can be done. Anyway, really cool podcast.

That was absolutely fantastic! So thankful that cats like you, Ian, Scotty The Glove, Dr. Rich Brown and Damien Erskine constantly rep for the bass community and delve out such great wisdom and insight. How could I not want to play bass 24/7? You mofos constantly light a fire under my ass. Thank you!

1:35:07 There's actually already visual feedback on multiple of the hx comps. You just have to be viewing that block to see it. (although I've been using the plugin for a while and haven't plugged in my hx stomp in a few months, so I don't remember if it's just a plugin thing or if it's on the stomp too. But the fact it's on the plugin version means it should be relatively simple to put it in the pedal as well if it's not already there)

Agreed Ian... aesthetics definitely matter Ian. I'm a photographer as well as a bassist and I ABSOLUTELY have cameras that I like to look at ( Rollei35S ) that I rarely shoot. Haha. I just like owning it. In fact, I use other cameras to take pictures of that camera just to make art to sell. ( I've sold lots of pics of that camera... lol ). I'm not there (collecting) with basses but I'm totally there with cars and cameras. I have one caveat... all of my stuff gets used (or could )... no "trophys" here. Cheers!! PS: Janek seems to be having so much fun these days, it looks good on him. 🎸💪🏾

What a great conversation - simulatneously relatable and inspirational. I thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of IMA's deceptively pulsing D groove with JG playing out on top, like a great conversation with two different accents but entirely speaking the same language. As a bar band bassist (also 1978!) that runs backing tracks and often mixes live, I was a bit shocked to think of you two gentlemen going through the same issues with equipment, playback, levels, etc., that us mere mortals experience, albeit you're doing it with much more pressure! Thanks to both of you for the many hours of inspiration and entertainment over the years. Really great stuff.

58:30 - Pro Tip: I've had really good success faking a LPF sweep with an expression pedal and the 10-Band EQ block. You can assign the exp to control multiple frequencies with different min/max settings per frequency (effectively rolling them off at different rates), so you can really tailor the sweep to your liking.

Thank you Janek, thank you Ian. I could watch/listen you guys for 4-5 more hours guys. 😂 This was enlighting for lots of the real deals for bass and music itself. In the era of internet/KZbin, lots of people working on extreme techniques but the real answer is always THE SOUND. Please do this again in near future. 🤘🏻 BTW, you both are the reason I got a HX Stomp last month. 😂

I'm a little late to the party, but I just wanted to say that this interview is amazing!! I love Ian's playing and sound mastery and seeing him just chilling is amazing. I also watched the shorter version of the Stomp section and I realised that the editing is amazing!! I didn't see any of the cuts you or your editor made in the shorter video. Very cool.

@lionsdenblog 4 ай бұрын

This is possibly and quite honestly my favorite podcast listening experience ever! Checked all the boxes! First, I consider myself a bassist at heart, though I am able to play other instruments. Second, it was extraordinarily entertaining as you guys are kinda geeky about pedals (and the accompanying technology) and you run up and down rabbit holes. Third, the “geekery” continued into HOW to play with certain artists and all this foundational shit that are what bassists do to be rock solid and somewhat minimalistic to allow the other artists to flourish. Fourth, you fellas have much finer instruments than much of the populace and it renewed my desire for picking up a bass and start not only practicing, but also contacting Dan Lenard @ Luthiers Access Group in Chicago to see about a higher end bass (5-string). Janek… now you have me considering an E-A-D-G-C setup. That’s a soloist thing, but I’m more in line with Ian’s tuning because I love the pocket, not soloing. Great info, gentlemen! ❤️❤️❤️

I have to admit it took me a while to really dig in on your channel. The depth and breadth of content was almost Abita intimidatin. The more involved I get the more relatable and useful the channel becomes. Thanks man. Your cool af. Also the album it only happens once is some of the most human music I've ever heard. Who knew improvised sub bass and all that would have me layed on the couch catching mad feels on a Sunday evening. ❤

hey I listened to this as an audio podcast because I wanted to hear when it came out and I was driving! But now I watched some parts again on video. Great talk. Now that you told Ian about the possible D/A or A/D noise from the effects loop he might start hearing it and it will drive him crazy. I think the discussion on the simplicity of a bass note and a melody or even triads is pointing to the mystery of what it takes to makes a great melody. We know a great melody when we hear it and can analyze part of why it makes sense but it doesn't necessarily help us figure out how to make another melody.
