pantherairsoft Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) One of my all time favourite bass players... PLEASE BE AWARE - MY WEBSITE IS NOW CLOSED. THE INTERVIEWS CAN NOW BE FOUND HERE -> [url="http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/sheponbass"]http://simonpoulton.....com/sheponbass[/url] For those of you that are not familiar with Janek's work (and I imagine that's a small percentage!) let me introduce you... Janek is a very well respected music director, producer and side man responsible for laying down the low-end for artists such as Randy Brecker, Jojo Mayer, Mike Stern, Hiram Bullock and many many more. Janek is also a band leader, releasing records under his own name which combine more influences and genres that you can shake a stick at. While the tag from outside might read 'Modern Jazz', delve a little deep and you'll find so much more!

I really liked the part about pedals having "character". I find this to be especially true with old digital effects like the Whammy. I think I need to get my hands on that tube pedal though..

pantherairsoft Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Anyone ever heard of Justin Meldal-Johnsen? PLEASE BE AWARE - MY WEBSITE IS NOW CLOSED. THE INTERVIEWS CAN NOW BE FOUND HERE -> [url="http://simonpoulton.tumblr.com/sheponbass"]http://simonpoulton.....com/sheponbass[/url] Justin Meldal-Johnsen is a serious bass heavy weight. He is responsible for recording, touring and providing the low end for such massive acts as Nine Inch Nails, Beck & Gnarls Barkley. In the world of bass players he is the kind of name that many many players aspire to be. He is also a serious pedal-head! I was lucky enough to steal 15 minutes of his precious time to get some answers over his effects, gear and live set up.

Truckstop Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I love this guy! His tone on 'The Fragile Live in Adeleide' (look for it on Youtoob) is the tone I strive for when fuzzing sh*t up. Who's next? Frank Zappa?! Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No Zappa I'm afraid I have a serious number lined up though - Loads of guys vanished so I started another 'round' of contacting people... then they are resurfaced. Good times. Just had a confirmation from another BIG name as well. Quite a niche player, but with a huge audience. Big enough to have a signature model bass available from a large builder and possibly the most complex set up I've ever seen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantherairsoft Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Question - I've put this on the blog too... I have been told on a few occasions that the site can be hard to read on a few screens and devices due to using white text on a darker background. I quite like the overall look, but it's important to me that you guys like it too! The web platform I use has just released a new upgrade which comes with a ton of new features but before I decide to put in all the work in moving the site over I wonder if its worth moving a a 'cleaner' looking site, possibly something which is white with black text in order to make things easier to read. Examples like Janek Gwizdala's & Juan Alderete's websites are good examples of the modern, clean, black on white look. So the question is, do any of you find the site hard to read in it's current format and would find a layout like one of the examples above to be beneficial to you, or, do you like the look and layout of the site as it is? I appreciate your feedback... Shep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
