    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.

    Thoughts on this potential pedalboard

    I've been a casual bass player for about 10 years playing in church. We've been playing a lot of newer songs and our electric guitar player has a proper pedalboard so it made me become interested in getting one myself. I've recently begun to get more into playing bass so I figured I might as...

    Greetings from middle Georgia

    Good afternoon, my name is Steve and I've been lurking here off and on for awhile. Usually it's when I have googled for information in regards to a bass-related topic, and Talkbass seems to be the go-to place for answers. I started playing 6 string at church back in about 2018. But we had 2 6...
