I just bought one today and the manual is not really helpful, so I went to the Keely Bassist products site for some more information but this was very helpful anyway.

that's a real answer to prayer because we are this evening debating amongst other worship stuff how many songs we actually need in our oversized music library, I am helping reduce the number.

I'm also the (senior) drummer in our Church and only use this thing as a fill or link. Otherwise played continually I find it's too distracting for worship, and seems to be common amongst younger drummers and I would say, it borders on over-playing at times. I am an old school rock-style drummer...

I just restrung both my basses BEAD with the same strings, best thing I ever did! And the strings are so versatile. And no heavy 5-er either.

Practice doing more passing notes between root changes - trying to add a little interest for everyone's sake!

On the one hand I would love to play more services (just 2 each Sunday, drums or bass) on the other I would have to believe you have the support at home you need to allow you the time to go out and play. I think the love for what we do somehow stops/suppresses burn-out!

I guess some people are gifted to have their brains wired that way!

Hi there, I would be very interested to know if there is any and what preaching planned for your service - next year our church has 50% of its theme as worship.

Last Saturday I finally decided to get my Ibby SR600 restrung (with Rotosounds) to B-E-A-D after I realised I never felt the need to use G at any time. Now I have more tone options, and with my Vox SL1 bass effects box, this guitar does it all (at least for what I need, anyways). And thank you...

I think if we have to play a song that doesn’t really appeal to us musically, our challenge is to give 100% as a player to make it still sound good because we know what influence we have in the mix. Saying that I have voiced occasionally that a song is more biased toward being a performance song...

I did n Did the same band set-up last week (drummer had broken his finger or some other lame excuse) and it certainly showed up the importance and contribution of bass as a rhythm instrument, even though most never notice it. Except on the times it isn't there! And I got to sing some backing to...

I agree and have reverted to this approach after trying to be too clever between verses and getting lost outside of my skill level. Our W/L encourages me to add more notes/fiddle around but I think this is no sub for a second guitar, I think playing solid simple lines is far better as a...
