At Lighthouse we use an 12 channel board for the drums that the drummer controls his mix and he gets 1 line out. We tweak him during sound check. Sound booth also has access to his headphones if the need arises.

Our board is big and analog. I'll take a closer look next time for make and model. I was really looking at my channel to see the settings and it was set flat so a decent signal was coming from the sansamp.
Any musical gear for Christmas? I recieved a practice stool and a new stomp box tuner which was badly needed.
Any New Years plans out there? We're head to Los Gatos on the 1st for linner at my inlaws. Good stuff as he is a chef.

Not a Christmas present per se, but after selling my sunburst Squier Vintage Modified Precision V to a friend, I found another.
This one is white/tort/maple, and after installing a set of Hipshot Ultralites, it only weighs 8lb 6oz. Amazing for a 5-string with a full-sized body. It makes a perfect foil for my ABZ.
If money were no object, it would be a Dingwall Super P5, but I can't justify a second boutique bass, given my stage in life and family responsibilities.

The last couple of years, the Kathryn Marquis Band has had out of town New Years gigs.
This year we're booked at our own church, and very pleased about it.
It is pretty normal for me to be off for 3 weeks. I play about once a month in a rotation. I played the first Sunday of November and then not again until last week but I also sing in the choir which was working overtime those weeks to prepare for the Christmas outreach concert so it was nice to be free from the bass guitar duties actually. On the other hand with everyone else taking their late summer vacations I ended up playing three Sundays last September. If you have regular breaks from bass duties I would imagine your church has other ministry opportunities that will fill your time. Maybe the sound team could use a musician's viewpoint during weeks you are not scheduled to play....
I asked for vouchers for Thomann.de (a European online music superstore) and put them, along with some of my own money, to get some bits and pieces: acoustic and electric guitar strings, new power supply for my B3 (it shipped with a non-standard and underrated one, so I got the seller to give me a partial refund), a gig bag for the B3, a new gig bag for my electric guitar, a mandolin/guitar stand and a big bag of picks.
My usual situation is playing most weeks but in the summer I think I had six weeks off due to a 2-week holiday then a series of special services (kids, youth, guest band etc). And yes, it felt like a lifetime!
While not a Christmas present as it was ordered back in May, my glorious Dingwall Super P5 arrived on the 23rd and it was therefore Christmas to me!
Our board will have to stay for now.
The worship team will get together today after service and discuss options.
No comparison in quality, but a little homage to Zoomie's new baby:
Now come on, Steve! You and I have been around long enough to know that it is ALL about gathering those instruments that speak to our soul.
That thing is gorgeous !
I got this. Fender stool and a Traynor small block 115
I am jealous of your stool. I love those things.
I will not covet, but those two P5s are pushing me to the edge. Both beautiful in their own way. My preferred colour scheme for a P or J would be oly white/tort.
I wanted the Baltic amber PG as it matches the PG on my Super J. The Baltic is a little different without travelling too far from tradition.
Really looking forward to taking her for a spin tomorrow.
You've got to love a good P. Pricing is similar as well, except for the decimal point. Zoomie's was about $3K, mine was $300...
Before the usual Squier vs XXX arguments start, let me just say that while the Squier sounds amazingly good for such a cheap instrument and I really enjoy playing it, the quality is NOT at the same level as the real thing.
It needed a $100 tuner upgrade to reduce a dead spot and improve tuning stability, and the Asian maple neck is like butter compared to the Canadian rock maple that North American luthiers use.
I'm going to give the Squire Strat a rest and bring my Ibby for bass this Sunday. No practice, so I have no idea what we'll be playing. Last time our bass player was gone I didn't remember and just had the strat, so the keys played heavy left hand.
As for Christmas, I got some chromes for my strat. I'll be recording my steels before switching them out to compare the tone to see which I prefer. D'Addario also make a nickel-plated set that supposedly has a more vintage sound. I'll be trying those next. Also got a 'Bass your life on Christ' T-shirt. And a 5-album CD set of Gary Moore. It was a good Christmas.

Wow! Nice stuff out there! I'm pretty happy with what I have at the moment. I am planning on stripping the electronics out of an old Ibanez musician and installing a Bart setup. Way things are going, that will be a selfie for Christmas next though. 60+ hour weeks are looming as construction is booming in nor cal.
