Affordable Worship pedals for bass beginners

[nshuman]

'nshuman' and 'two fingers', could you please have your little debate/pissing match somewhere else (it's really not helping at all and is getting quite childish). From what I understand, I should go for subtle effects (at least for the base tone) and play to the song (listen to the drummer and try to add to the mood). Believe it or not, the Zakk Wylde Overdrive (it's like a cross between a Tube Screamer and a Boss SD-1 except it takes bass better) is actually a somewhat mild distortion (especially compared to my Cool Cat Drive). Do you guys have any suggestions for cheap/affordable overdrives that are more subtle or do you think I should just omit the overdrive from my base tone?

Also Bach's music is quite complex and has masterful counterpart but that's obvious and irreverent.

There, enjoy your sandbox now.

I wouldn't even worry about pedals. Just enjoy worship for awhile.

I'm one of those weirdos who is not religious in any way shape or form but I really enjoy listening to Christian Contemporary music. Probably because I am not being assaulted with the filth and debasement so prevalent in modern "regular" music. Anyhow, from what I can tell, there is very little that differentiates the musical portion of this style from "normal, everyday" pop music. Just the lyrics are different. Therefore I see no reason why the OP can't use at least a little drive and chorus. I've never heard echo, phase, delay or any other "out there" effects on bass in CC music, but I've heard slightly dirty bass and chorused bass.

Great video to reference. Brandon Aaronson from Jesus Culture. He shows several pedals but says he REALLY only uses one most of the time:

Most of you guys have provided some good advice that I will try to remember, thank you. I guess I'll just stick with my current pedals and try to learn some Worship music. I'll try to improve my bass skills.
