Janek Gwizdala on Precision

Hi Janek,
I know you almost always use your Fodera Bass. But I know that there's a time when you play with Fender Precision Bass.
What kind of P-Bass is that? What strings?
Is there any record or youtube link of you playing P-Bass?

Thanks

I saw him on TV with VV Brown rocking a P-bass once. Looked like a regular MIA Fender P-bass. "Shark in the Water" was the single.

He's rocking the Fodera here, but still worth the post, YouTube - ‪VV Brown - Shark in the Water USA‬&rlm;

That mighty Fodera cuts through and anchors the broadcast mix in a huge way. Great track, band and singer.

Great clip and just bought the album. I'm not quite sure what you'd call the genre of music she is playing...neo?...retro?...whatever, but I like it!

Here are a couple of clips with the P. I have a couple of them. One is an american standard P, and the other is a mexican. I have one strung with round wounds and the other with flats, both 45-105. And I use tape wound strings sometimes too for different stuff. All the strings I use are D'Addario.

There used to be a great video of the performance on the Ellen show but I guess they took it down. I'll have to get it off my DVR at home and link to it somewhere online again at some point.
