Easter Service Set Up
- Thread starter Dr. Cheese
- Start date
I ran my fender Victor bailey (passive) through a fendle rumble and out to the house. I was growly! Dr. Cheese, I have to get myself a a sadowsky outboard preamp to get more sizzle... Between that and the tone hammer.
I had a pleasant surprise this weekend because we did a song that I thought would really sound good on double bass. I was really able to get that vibe by favoring the bridge with the tone turned down, preamp engaged, and the amp set flat. It sounded thick, yet clear.
The TC Electronic amp belongs to the church. It was after I suggested it.

What makes it an Easter set up? I was expecting hot, crossed basses.
I ran direct from my GK 500 Fusion (Pre) to FOH, then into IEMs. Drums, Keys, Piano, 3 guitars, 4 singers, and me on 5-string. Played 10 songs, two during videos so timing was difficult but we made it through those. All in all I think we sounded pretty nice.
Actually, somebody offered it to me before posting it. It works like a charm. I feel I'm back to where I was in 2009 when I had an American Standard V, a MarkBass, and a Sadowsky preamp. It feels great to have exactly the sound I that I wanted. In fact, I am even better because I have my Peavey Forums for that Ken Smith sort of vibe too.
I ran my Status graphite empathy 5 into a Phil jones bass buddy direct to house, (I'm using Phil jones headphones instead of iem's because they sound so good) Studio quality sound all the way, I'm very pleased.
Here's a little action shot. We played 4 songs per service, and I played 7 services over the course of the weekend. I used my Sire v7 5 through an Avalon pre to the house. We use Avioms for the IEM's and I also play through an Ampeg SVT Pro 7 into an Eden 410XLT cab. It's not cranked but enough to move a little air on stage. Cool little trivia fact for @Dr. Cheese and anyone else who may care but my buddy next to me on the guitar MDing is Israel Houghtons 1st call guitar player. So if anyone has heard Israel and New Breed 'Alive In Asia' he's on there. We did a 'less complex' version of an Israel song this weekend but did manage to sneak some cool runs in there. I'm constantly joking with him how painful it must be for him to work with me after spending time with Justin Raines rocking the bass!! 
He's a cool dude and we had a fun weekend.

Looking good Doc. Do you have the pre engaged at all times? Just curious.
No, the DJ5 sounds really nice passive, and a lot of our current material sounds old school.

Upright -> Fishman platinum pro preamp -> system with IEM. Technically a Good Friday service. They wanted a very chill thing in between readings.
EBMM Sterling 5HS > Mesa D800 > Eden D112XLT (DI from Mesa to house). Most of our stuff was low-key, no rockers:
- Worthy Is The Lamb
- At The Cross (Love Ran Red)
- My Redeemer Lives
- This Blood
- Who Am I
I went LoPrinzi pj4 into an A Designs REDDI. Out of that into the board and also into a Kustom KBX500 and two Bergantino HT112's. Smoothie compressor, 3Leaf octave, EBS Billy Sheehan od
Don't know about a mini-concert but here was our set list for today: I Stand Amazed, He Lives, Because He Lives, He's Alive (D. Parton), video > Old Rugged Cross, Rise Again, I Will Rise, Worthy Is The Lamb, video > Redeemer, He's Alive (end of set). About 40 minutes with video. We were all worn out but the BL catered a big breakfast and put cinnimon rolls out after the service. Plus coffee!!!!
