Worship Bass Pedalboards

Yeah, I like what these were doing tonight. With both the P5 with flats and J5 with rounds, I was just having fun tonight at rehearsal. I got everything I asked for out of them.
 
Please share what you use:

DI/Pre
Compressor
hi/low pass filter

DI/Pre: church supplies a SansAmp Bass Driver DI. Sometimes I'll disconnect the SansAmp and use my Aguilar TH 350 head as my DI.

I have a very spartan pedalboard. Starts with a Boss TU-3W tuner, then ..

Compressor: Fairfield Circuitry The Accountant
hi/low pass filter: Broughton L+HPF

Used to play a 5-string. I've gravitated back to 4s for now, sometimes in Drop D.
 
Finally got around to making my full pedalboard walkthrough. Simple yet powerful!


Great walkthrough, thanks!

I've been debating the RNDI. Would you say you prefer it over the DI out on that preamp?

I have an alpha omega ultra that I'm running last but wondering if I should throw a rndi on the end. Exclusively DI at church, no amp usage.

Chicken or egg with the Aeros - I couldn't really explore it until I put it in my setup, but I couldn't put it in my setup until I knew how it would work because I play live almost every week. Anyway, I broke down and just did it. I'm still figuring out the Aeros, there are things I love and things I don't love, but it's going to work for the immediate future.

that is very nice board but why would anyone need or want to carry that many pedals?

Like a lot of things, not as much as I would like. It's one of a couple on the board that I've never used live. I had a very cool usable sound that I didn't get properly saved to a preset and I've had trouble recreating. I've thrown on some of the wilder presets on during practice just to show people "here's what I might do on the last week they ever let me on stage at church."

I don't think you're new here, so...

It's also a guitar board. Yes, it's a lot to carry, and that's the one thing that may eventually steer me away from it. I do use a lot of it live, not all of it. But it's also my integrated mess-around-at-home-on-guitar-bass-or-synth board.

Because they can.

Also this.
 
Nope... and ditto what @ExaltBass said..
As much as I loved my Empress, there's just something going on with the Cali that brings everything more to life, stand out and really shine..
I know a lot of people have the Cali so maybe I'll give it a try.
Still trying to warm up my IEM's. Not sure what to do. Thinking a better DI. Some say a high pass low pass filter is the bomb. Just don't know what to try and experimenting is expensive.

The Cali isn't really known for warming up your tone. It adds a extra bit of sheen and clarity and makes anything sound bigger. I've owned 2-3 of them and loved them but they are famous for the openness they add to your tone.
