    The Praise and Worship Band Bassists Club Part 12

    Often. Works out alright. However, tonight (tomorrow morning?) work requires me from 1 am to about 2 am... service tomorrow might be a bit rough!

    Peavey T40

    I purchased this (complete with original case) a few weeks ago. Today I finally received the "mystery switch" from digi-tek (thanks for the great links, and these switches look just like the originals!) and now it sounds wonderful and is fully functional! (the bridge pickup was not working as...

    We once had a formal complaint filed against some members of the WT because a few of the ladies wore open-toed sandals. For real.

    The Praise and Worship Band Bassists Club Part 11

    I've had mine on for a couple of months... no 'shedding', but the finish has worn off in a couple of places (fret-wear). I don't use a pick (does he?) so no finger-wear. They just feel 'sticky' to me... I loved the instant slip of the TI flats. Played 'Trading my Sorrows" yesterday and had to...

    I put Black Beauties on my MM Stingray 5 (silver with black p/g)... LOOKS amazing, sounds great, but I just don't love the feel of the coating. I just purchased one of the 6 string TI Jazz Flats on the sales forum here for the Stingray (well, the high C string will be un-loved :) ) and we'll...

    Agreed. Sadowsky flats (I have a set waiting for the right bass... :) maybe on the P) are wonderful. Love TI flats (sold them with the Jack Casady)... Chromes are OK for me... HATE Rotosound. Have a spare set... anyone want 'em?

    The Praise and Worship Band Bassists Club Part 11

    hey, Harry! OK, for the 50's/60's band we play tons of rockabilly, surfsonic and some country-ish stuff. P-Bass with rounds, pretty growly. For church, mostly lighter stuff with some funk, not too much. Stingray with rounds (and fretless to come). Believe it or not I really dig the...

    I did on my Fender P-Deluxe. Now use a Stingray 5 with rounds. The flats just "fit" the P-Deluxe (it is now gone). Next week I get a Carvin LB70F fretless with LaBella flats. I'll be playing with that quite a bit (I hope!)

    Thanks, all, and yes, it is true. Good things are in the works. Yesterday it was a fill-in lead with acoustic... and me on a five string bass. It was incredible. What a great worship set, even though I didn't know what we were playing until about 8:30 am Sunday :) I think scaling it back...

    Got a surprising email late last night... due to "issues at home" our WL has stepped down immediately. Thankfully we have a guy who can stand in... at least tomorrow! Hopefully for some time to come until we get a permanent replacement. This is a New Year's curveball I did NOT expect!

    I read this (perhaps from you?) a year and a half ago... now I can transpose on the fly. Helps, too. Sunday morning our WL decided to change keys last second before service. He used his capo, I adjusted one fret down. It really does make it automatic!

    Thanks, KR... one other thing I did not post. Our WL announced his departure at last Thursday's rehearsal. So... we have THAT going for us, too! :) He may or may not approach the sound guy. We shall see. We are trying to save up for a new board. Again, we will see how that pans out.

    caeman, not personal at all. my *personal* opinion is also supported (if you can even call it that) by other (anecdotal, certainly) experiences shared with me. Our church has quite a bit of that company's equipment, and all of it is shaky. Yes, I do indeed understand that even this does not...

    Yep. But nothing was 'cranked'. In rehearsal we had the level up so that I *could* hear it in the house. Sound guy just flattened it out. argh.

    As the old saying goes: "Our sound guy is deaf in one ear and can't hear out the other". :( He apparently put MORE trust in the flashing lights of the sound board than in his ears. Frustrating. And yes, we apparently had gremlins, too. He's young, and 'knows everything'... a tough...

    Interesting service! 1) Completely lost the (electronic) drums in the Aviom. Good for the first 30 seconds, then OUT. 2) Drummer was listening to me to keep rhythm as the drums in the house were too low 3) there was NO bass in the house (told by others later) 4) vocals during Revelation Song...

    Totally! Before I sold my AEB (just didn't play it often enough) I tried out some LaBella flats on it and it REALLY gave an old-school THUMP to the sound. The flats really got rid of the "ringing" that phosphor-bronze round-wounds give. TI-flats would be the better choice, after getting a set...

    We had a drummer come back after two years away. Yesterday he played only the 'cajon' (percussion box)... we were instantly in the pocket. Man, I missed playing with this guy. The congregation seemed to be singing more loudly than ever, really a spirit filled morning. Sometimes God blesses the...

    I have dubbed our WL "King Capo" (and he likes it). He capos a lot of tunes (especially Tomlins) so that we're playing in Eb or Bb. Using a fiver has make hitting the low Eb priceless. I'm also getting used to playing a lot of tunes a little higher up the fretboard and still using the B string...
