Worship Bass Pedalboards

Yeah, I(we) tend to like a fairly clean sound. Yet, we can never seem to get the bass to sound full and warm in our ears.

All of these suggestions are great. But, have you considered trying the BackBeat? No matter what is on your pedal board, no matter the DI, no matter the sound out in the audience, you will always feel the bass and will feel like you have a full robust sound. I am 100% sold on what it does for my stage feel and confidence.

It's not so much about feeling it as it is hearing a more full sound.

I understand. While it seems counterintuitive the BackBeat will help even the worst IEM system feel fuller. This is especially true if you pipe the IEM mix through the BackBeat. Drums, bass, keys... It all becomes fuller because you are feeling the exact frequencies being played.

I get it. The thing is my drummer and guitar player would like to hear the bass differently as well. They're the ones that mention it the most.

I added the Cali76 TX-L to the board today to try out for the next couple of months. I'm not going direct, so this should be a great fit for church and rock gigs. I'll work on settings this weekend.

Hold out for the forthcoming DSM Noisemaker Simplifier Bass Station. I've got a prototype and it really is an amazing piece of kit that I think will accommodate the DI and warmth you are seeking. Also adds the right amount of coloration with cab simulation and excellent preamp blend for live FOH situations.
This may take the place of the SLO for me... Man, I thought I had the board settled.
