No, it was more of a smallish church that does CCM or songs the WL had written. I think it was mainly the pastor who had a real issue with anything absolutely unnecessary on stage, like a white sheet of paper laying flat on the floor. When we first started attending there, I noticed there was...

I played at a church we attended for a few years. Working 50+ hours a week (not sure what your schedule is like) and learning music well enough to memorize 3-4 songs on the weeks I played was tough for me and having a lead sheet (on the floor, out of sight) was frowned upon. But, of course, the...

Full blast? No but we do have a Christmas tree in the lobby with names of kids in the community who need items for Christmas. I'm curious what's going on at 1:44 in your video, not trying to be critical? I can't tell if the singer is modulating up and someone on piano or guitar didn't?

Hard to tell laying there but first glance I like the look of that strap!

@MTN.bass72 I can relate to some of that. We attended the same church in Greenville until we moved to Ga. and we had 4 different WLs during that time. The 1st was all around outstanding, the 2nd was a great musician and Trumpet player, the 3rd couldn’t care less about a horn section (I played...

We had a great set list today with “You are Life,” “Close,” and “Holy, Holy, Holy” (Jesus Reigns) but man I’ve got to figure out how to memorize these songs better. I practice them nightly a couple weeks leading up to Worship and play them multiple times a night, break down the sections and play...

Ding, ding, ding. Went with Schaller.

Can you tell what I changed?

I've watched a few of his vids. I haven't seen this one yet but he seemed pretty smitten with his new Special.

Groovy...is there a benefit other than looks? I may just be uniformed which is SOP.

I’d have to try to find a polite way to respond (which is a weakness of mine whe caught off guard) but it would’ve been a no (and don’t ever ask again). Frankly, I think the drummer was being rude by asking you to sit it out so he could play. Of course at our church the drummer is the one and...

So you’re saying you need some tort reform? :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

I gotta be honest as a relatively inexperienced bass player, I am completely overwhelmed by pedals and what I should sound like and why one thing sounds better than something else...am I the only one who shows up, plugs into the DI box and starts playing? I pluck with fingers, haven't even...

I’m about the same.

This was our set list today...9:30 service was rough for me and Passion. There’s a vocal solo section towards the beginning and bass pretty much carries the song at that point. All I’ll say is thankfully they sounded good without me on the first chorus. I hate it when I have stuff nailed in...
