Whynot Jansveld has spent his musical life in the company of the best. Currently on bass with The Wallflowers, he has performed, recorded, and toured around the world with Richard Marx, Matchbox Twenty, Butch Walker, Sara Bareilles, Natasha Bedingfield, Gavin DeGraw, Kate Hudson, Jonatha Brooke, Aaron Lee Tasjan, The Weepies, Brett Dennen, Wayne Krantz, Crash Test Dummies, and many others, and worked with acclaimed producers like Linda Perry, David Kahne, Rob Schnapf, Neil Dorfsman, John O'Mahony, and Butch Walker.
From taking the stage at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival alongside Clapton, Stephen Stills, and Roger McGuinn, touring arenas in Japan with rock star Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi, to regularly appearing at storied Los Angeles venues like the Baked Potato with Val McCallum and Michael Landau — it's about the people as much as it is about the music.

Let's talk about remote recording. With an extensive collection of '50s and '60s Fender, Gibson, and Höfner basses — as well as modern fretted, fretless and 5-string options — along with choice preamps, vintage Ampeg bass amps, and a pristine Apogee recording setup, Whynot would love to help you find the foundation your song needs.
With a knack for finding that bass part that anchors the tune but simultaneously lifts it up and turns your ear, Whynot will find the spots where it pays to be melodic and surprising, but do it in a way that makes you feel like that bass line always belonged there.
