Worship Bass Pedalboards

fullsizeoutput_688.jpeg
I know I posted the board itself the other day, but here is the entire setup from this morning... The backbeat has been life changing (almost as much as molded in ears) for playing direct. the pedal to the right controls my talkback mic for MD...
 
The Noble is missing... Did the Super Stack kick it off? How do the two compare?

The Noble isn't going anywhere. It's on this one. I'm going to try the other setup for a while, going straight to my Berg rig.

This pedalboard setup works great for running direct. I'll be using the other for both Worship and Rock bands in Oct/Nov. 8 playing opportunities.

Looks awesome! Sure it sounds even better.

How does the Super Stack compare to the Noble?

Too early to tell. I need to give it, and the Collaboration Devices The Compressor some playing time. So far I'm impressed.
 
Where did the 5 string P come from?

American Professional Precision V parts - new loaded Olive body (TB classifieds) that I married to a new loaded neck with RW fingerboard (Stratosphere). I prefer the RW neck, but this body color comes with Maple. Easy build... 4 screws, 5 strings.

That's awesome! I've been dreaming of an American Fender P5 and never thought of getting there that way :thumbsup:

Pedalboards are ALWAYS a work in progress. ;)

For most. Mine has stayed pretty much the same (except for a couple months of experimentation) for a few years now. Tuner, good DI, and Rolls IEM box. I do have a YYZ pedal on the cover band board but I think I'm going to stick with my simple DI board for both groups. It just sounds so "right" to me. I love looking at everyone's boards. Sometimes I wish that was more my thing, but alas...

I like to tell myself the pedals I have are all necessary. At least that's what I tell my wife every time another one shows up in the mail. But we all know that's just not true. But they sure can be fun.

But you do also use a Bass Synth. A lot of my pedals are aimed at achieving those sounds. I keep vacillating about getting an actual synth, but 'Yes' hasn't won out... yet.
 
What is that compressor that's next to the Shure wireless? How does that one compare to the other great compressors like the Cali76 you have?

Collaboration Devices The Compressor. So far I like it, but I haven't gigged it yet. Next opportunity is Oct 13th. I'll see how it goes then.
 
New addition to the collection:

An EHX Bass Soul Food. Not a popular pedal around here, which I don't quite understand; I listened to the reviews and demos online, liked the sound and hey, guess what? It sounds like it did in the demos!

Not always true of effects pedal demonstrations on youtube, IME.
It stacks extremely well with the Glowplug. Glowplug is a big fat thing, soul food is gnarly and grindy. Together they sound HUGE. Am I going to use it in church?
I suspect not.
Although, I did try it palm muted with a pick, and got a great sound for 'Strength will Rise', so if that song ever comes up, might use it there.

Also got replacement knobs for the Eden pedals, because I recently did a smaller midweek worship service, only going direct, and only realised at the end that I had the 'enhance' knob (which is a preposterously exaggerated mid-scoop) at 75%. (I'd been practicing slap that afternoon, and forgotten to put 'enhance' back to 0% afterwards). No wonder my sound was so weirdly muffled!

The Eden knobs are beautifully machined, but impossible to see more than a foot away. Found an online retailer in Germany who sells every knob in every colour known to man, and spent 8 quid on a true upgrade!

I think it looks rather good.

Peace,
