    Btb upgrade for gospel

    So I’ve been looking at upgrading the electronics in my Ibanez btb745 specifically for gospel and worship. Where I’ve landed so far is Bartolini mk5 pickups and a Bartolini ntmb preamp. I was wondering if anyone who knows more than me had any input or suggestions.

    Help with church

    So I’m supposes to play been so good by upci music on Sunday. I absolutely hate upci music because I can’t access anything without paying and can’t figure out the bass part for the life of me. Any help or advice would be appreciated

    Pickup recommendations for a passive Jazz Bass V ?

    Hello all, I am on the never-ending journey of finding the perfect BASS TONE..... I am seeking BIG sound.... something with high output, powerful lows and low mids, and high sustain. My favorite players play very lightly to get that beastly sound I'm after, and I try to do the same, but it...

    Cory Henry’s left foot is a better bassist than me.

    Mr. Henry is a master. Just magical. The more I listen to him, the more I learn.

    Gospel bass is the best bass. Prove me wrong (or right)

    If I could quit my job and play bass for someone, this would be the gig. Matt Ramsey kills this little concert. So much fun. It just proves what I’ve always said. Gospel bass playing is the best bass playing. It grooves. You can play busy (if you know what you’re doing). And the bass is always...

    Bass amp vst's

    Looking for suggestions for free/inexpensive bass amp vst's. The ones in GarageBand are ok but none quite fit the bill for what I'm looking for.

    Hey, gospel folks, Andrew Gouche?

    Hey, I've been playing in my local gospel choir for almost 17 years now... It's a gig, a good one, that enables me to go out of my comfort zone from time to time, and play with some really top-tier musicians. Outside of what we play, though, I don't really listen to much gospel, as I'm pretty...

    Yamaha TRBX605 vs Heartfield DR-5 , for Gospel

    Say I were to get the 605 for $600 new and the DR-5 for about $500 used, in terms of versatility (ergonomics playing different styles, finger/slap), actual usable tones, and playability which one would be my best bet. I'd be mainly playing Gospel, so I really appreciate high sustain and a tone...
