The video I posted to my main channel two days ago was neither clickbait nor a joke. I really am selling almost every bass I own, and keeping just the bear minimum I require to do my job to the highest standard. I’m also going back to a main bass I feel very connected to, and that kind of unintentionally torpedos the title of my recent appearance on the SBL podcast:Why Janek REFUSES to play a signature bass (ever again).

I’m not going back to trying to make a signature instrument, or to any of the chaos that the purchase of an FBass was meant to move me away from. But I am curious as to what a finished version of my Mattisson (I still only have a prototype) would feel like.

I go into a little more detail of this move in today’s episode, and also show one of the basses that didn’t make it into the main-channel video.

There are still a few left for sale at the website: https://janekgwizdala.com/store/basses

I have a mega trip to the post office today as a lot of these sold just hours after the video going live. It’s a beautiful feeling to step into space and not into clutter in the studio, and I look forward to updating you further when the transition is complete.
