Hello All! I have emerged from talk bass hibernation.

agreed i originally posted to see if i was the only one feeling that way. and to ask yall to pray that i figure it out

im not sure its something i can explain very well. i also dont want to argue about it if you disagree no worries

hillsong especially has been slammed hard for pushing prosperity gospel. its not all hillsong though there are many different sects

i have a great relationship with the WL. weve know each other for going on a decade now. shes aware of my thoughts on this. its not an issue with "cred" its an issue of the pastor wants the things run a certain way and hes not open to changing it

i feel there is a more tactful way to go about this but yes that is essentially what needs to happen. worship team members need to be transparent with each other. if there's an issue bring it up and deal with it. the trick is maintaining that you are coming from a place of service and have the...

thats how things mostly work with us as well our worship leader is the planner

also I know she's considering my feelings a bit at least because she knows I despise "Oceans" and the sermon last week was on unquestioning fait and used the walking on water story. needless to say we didn't do that song lol

I agree and I've mentions that id love to start learning to craft worship sets that mesh well with he sermon. This however according to the head pastor to the worship leader to me is something only appropriate for the worship leader. I guess in a way the Head pastor views everyone but the...

its somewhat some of both. The Worship Leader and I go way back long before I started serving with this church. she is all for creative freedom and what not as long as it fits and trusts my judgement. Her hands are tied as it's the head pastor that has her operate things the way she does. we've...

Greetings holy brethren of the low end, Just thought I'd check in since its been quite a while. I haven't had much time to hop on as I've been busy with my band. I'm serving virtually every week on the worship team which doesn't really bother me as I'm free and in town anyways. I have noticed...

I've never understood the point of compressors on stage tbh especially in worship music. like i understand how a compressor works and what it does but ive never noticed a positive difference when using one

i made it clear early on that i didnt have time to learn the bass part in the recording. i know my way around a chord and just play whatever comes to mind. i guess that has deterred them from trying to direct me too much. been a year now with this team so i guess whatever im doing works for...

im the same way but i usually prioritize using the right tool for the job. i use all of my basses on stage but will adjust my play style for the song. i run zero effects preferring to let my tube di color my tone and our sound guy deal with eq. if i were to be asked to run a different bass, as...

Mono makes a good bag but im not a fan of lack of integrated storage. i personally dont feel like buying a $300 gig bag and then have to turn around and buy a $80 pouch to carry my di in. I thing the M80 has built in storage. I notice however you specifically say "case/rectangular gig bag" does...
