Yes, very happy with it. I tried many basses over a few weeks and I kept coming back to the Deluxe PJ. I've had it since early August. It sounds great and to me is very versatile: I can play soft tone is Church on Sunday morning and then have it growing later in a Rock Jam session. The one...

No one has mentioned a dress code to me and it really does not matter because we wear a Choir Tunic. No mention on instruments either but I bet the Deacon would have a word if there was something out of good taste and decorum.

I had my gall bladder taken out about 15 years ago. I had a tough time for quite awhile afterwards eating anything fatty or large quantities. It all became pretty much normal over time but sometimes a large or meal will cause issues. M It had to come out though as it was going bad and would...

Yeah, to modify an old adage: swerve, shovel and shut up.

Me too, never learned them well on the guitar (tab laziness I guess), but now I have to on bass because of the way I am getting music to play for church. But at least there are two less strings. ;)

Wow the service went quite well today and the practice paid off. Yep. And something hit me during "My heart Will Trust." We played that during the Eucharist which has always been the most emotional part of any service for me. Now I've been "into" a song before when playing in my band, but...

The first thing that popped into my head was: "Gimme three steps, gimme three steps towards the door..." And it stayed with as I read the whole thread. This one will likely end bad for everyone. Take Lynard's advice and run screaming for the door and keep on going.

Tomorrow will be my second time playing for church. Here is the song list: Prelude : All I Want (Only the guitarist will play and sing this one) Processional: Take My Life and Let It Be Gloria: Hasting Gradual: I Surrender All Doxology: Old 100th Sanctus: Scoggin Agnus dei: Bethancourt...

Thank you.

I reffed AYSO soccer for 6 years. There was always a shortage of refs and the league always wanted the older kids' games to have an official. I ended up reffing a game my daughter was in. She did something that caused me to give her a yellow card. She stopped put her hands on her hips and...

Thanks.

Hi and thanks for the welcome. The explanation for the screen name is easy. I was in the army and army reserve for 33 years; you get a lot of nicknames in the military, usually for silly things or events you were involved in or, ahem, caused. I was once a Ground Liaison Officer to an Air...

"Jesse Pinkman" Good one!

I've been lurking on this thread for a couple of weeks now and over the past day or so have read with great interest how various churches choose and maintain their WTs. So let me relate my very recent experience of joining a small WT at my wife's church as their bass player. I will not...

Do you, or have you ever lived in the Metro-Detroit area? I do. Unions were only one small part of puzzle that caused Detroit to be where it is at right now. It is a complex problem that takes some deep understanding to fully grasp it. And it is going to take complex solutions and time to...
