    I Got A New Bass Jan 24, 2024
    Show notes

    I’ve been waiting for this bass for over 4 1/2 years. It was the bass gifted to me and Chelsea at our wedding in 2019, and holds a very special place in our hearts.

    It also happens to be a world-class piece of design and craftsmanship, which takes owning and playing it to a whole other level.

    All is explained in the episode.

    Enjoy,

    Janek

    Unboxing New Pedals & Studio Flood Update Jan 16, 2024
    Show notes

    As I update you guys on the flood damage in this episode, I’m also able to show you some new pieces that just came in this week, as well as announce some new boutique stuff that’s en-route.

    The damage wasn’t as crazy as I had originally feared, but it did take a week of removing the backs of pedals, slowly drying them out, and then using contact cleaner and some further patience to sit here and test them all.

    Thankfully there are so many new ones coming in which will help both my moral, and the Pedal Studio series on youtube over the coming weeks.

    I’m preparing for a quick trip with the family and whilst in our storage getting luggage out today I discovered a huge box of CDs that I had totally forgotten about. They are mainly copies of my 2019 album “The Union” plus a few Space In Betweens, and since I’m in shipping mode with the signed copies of the books flying out of here, I’m thinking about doing a VERY limited drop of these CDs.

    Better to be out there in the world than sitting in a box somewhere. I know there are some of you that like a physical product when it comes to audio, so drop me a comment and let me know if you’d be into it.

    And yes!!! I’m goin to do vinyl at some point. The biggest issue is that it’s a massive commitment for margins that are incredibly low. It’s a total passion project, it takes a lot of investment re-mastering the albums to make them sound right for vinyl, and then it takes hella work logistically speaking to get them out to you. I am going to do it, I’m goin to start small, and it will happen in 2024.

    In the meantime I’ve had a random slew of enquiries about other media formats like cassette tapes. 🤷‍♀️

    They are way easier to put together, and that’s something I could do in the next month or so if the interest was there. It’s also getting a little easier and more financially realistic to press CDs, so limited runs of albums could be an option.

    Let me know in the poll below. It only runs for 24hrs!

    More soon,

    Janek

    Studio Flood Ruins Pedals Jan 09, 2024
    Show notes

    It’s been quite the weekend with the laundry room flooding and cascading down into my studio, soaking a bunch of pedals on the shelves you see in so many of my videos.

    I’m a couple of days into the drying out process and am hoping most things can be recovered. But the fact that I was pouring water out of an overdrive pedal like it was a teapot, kind of hints at a few things being permanently buggered.

    Positive foot forward though! I’m bringing back more regular episodes of The Pedal Studio, and need all your suggestions on what pedals you want to hear and which companies I should reach out to for gear to feature on the show.

    Leave your comments below the youtube video as that really helps the algorithm, and if you’re not subscribed to the channel do that now! The bigger the channel grows, the more high-profile guests I’m able to attract for the podcast, and the more exotic pieces of gear I’m able to feature in demo videos.

    In other news: A bunch of physical books that I’m shipping worldwide just sold out, but this week we re-stocked Pentatonics, All the Better Stuff/Good Stuff and ii-V-I’s, with copies of Iconic Lines expected to be back in stock later this month!

    More soon,

    Janek

    The Best & Worst of 2023 Dec 31, 2023
    Show notes

    Sneaking one last episode in for the year! My list of what won and what lost in 2023.

    I’m extending the sale in the store another 24hrs as I’ve been so off the radar lately and not communicating with you all.

    It all ends at midnight on new years day, and then it’s into 2024 and all the new projects.

    Happy new year, and see you on the other side.

    Janek.

    My Top 5 Bucket List Gigs in 2024 Dec 28, 2023
    Show notes

    I never say never, but most of the people I discuss in this episode are more than likely way out of reach.

    The gigs are super fun to think about though, and simply working on the music of these artists is a massive part of my process and gives me endless hours of material to practice. It also fuels the “Could I Play bass With” series very nicely, so if you ever wondered what I might sound like playing with some of these musicians, be sure to check out the videos on my youtube channel.

    Our end of year sale is running through midnight on new years eve. Check out discounts on books, bass courses, and HX stomp preset.

    More soon,

    Surviving the Music Business Dec 18, 2023
    Show notes

    It is definitely possible to survive and thrive in the music business/industry, no matter what your entry point and no matter when you started. I’m sort of living proof of that, and despite many ups and downs along the way, I’m happy to report that I still love doing what I do all these years later.

    It’s a bummer that the movie file corrupted for anyone watching on YouTube. One of the big parts of surviving in any field I guess is maintaining your equipment, and today mine just gave out on me at a crucial moment. We’ll be back with video in the next episode though!

    Before I leave and wish you happy holidays, don’t forget to check out our 2023 holiday sale happening now! 25% of all bass courses, and 30% off all digital books, book bundles and HX stomp presets! Signed books continue to ship worldwide, and I can’t wait to bring you news of new projects in the works for 2024.

    Happy Holidays, and more soon!

    What Can You Learn From Listening To Yourself? Dec 11, 2023
    Show notes

    If you watch the podcast on YouTube, let me know what you think about it being back on the main channel.

    I put up a clips channel and a YouTube channel like I was some kind of YouTubing empire… in hindsight, it might be easier to stick in my little bass-niche lane and manage everything from one place.

    Must remember my last name is Gwzdala and not Rogan… 🤔

    Having sold out of almost every book in the store last month, there’s a new author-signed book drop today with more stock arriving all month to keep up with the demand of offering both domestic and international shipping! 🥵

    Do Demos Really Matter? Oct 02, 2023
    Show notes

    From the beginnings of an idea, all they way through to it potentially being on an album, there are a lot of steps in the process.

    One of them is demoing. I think it’s probably way more important in the pop music world, and just vocal music in general, than for instrumental music like the majority of mine. But it has had its place for me over the years, and this episode deals with the journey of the latest single, “13 Fathoms”, from the new album.

    Trace the song back to its roots and see what I added and subtracted from the initial idea in order to come up with what you hear on the new album.

    Enjoy,

    Janek
