Worship Bass Pedalboards

I so wish I would have kept my P5. I didn't know then that I'd be a P bass guy. If I could buy it back (I keep trying) I would.

that's probably why I have a p bass with flats, a p bass set up BEAD and bought back my 5 string American pro P5 (2017 version) from my friend 4-5 months ago. it was my only bass for about 3 years and I survived somehow (it was actually a glorious thing, being a one bass man)... thinking back on that, why did I buy another bass after that? Cuz I keep wanting to try other things (cuz you know, we get bored) but in reality, it's everything I need and nothing I don't.

I've tried to buy back my old P5. No luck. That could easily be my only bass…for now…

I hope you find a way to sweet talk it out of em… luckily, he had told me he was thinking of selling it so I had the opportunity to get it back for what I sold it to him for. Everyone said "you got to have a p bass" but all I played was active 5's, so a 5 string P seemed like a no brainer. That was my first nice, expensive, USA "pro grade" instrument (little did I know). I thought I had the best bass ever. It's what made me realize I was the limitation, not the bass 🤣

Quick board I threw together for today's service. The Type One is a great chorus for thickening but not going over the top.

Been very curious about that BB Preamp. Tell us more.

It has a lot of range from almost clean to full on gnarly distortion. The additional eq is really nice as the highs can get a little bright for my taste. It doesn't seem to loose low end thankfully and build quality is absolutely top notch.
I am running the gain quite low so that when it kicks in it gives a volume boost with a touch of extra overdrive. Works great with the Tonehammer for sure

Switching to a key synth has really simplified my bass board to just the core of what works and much less fussing each week to get the right octave/fuzz combo or stomp plugin just right.

We've gone to more acoustic sets lately so no real need for drive/fuzz right now sadly.

The Lab comp and Neptunium work beautifully together for a soft warm vibe. Especially with flats. I could never get with the cali76 despite how good that pedal is.

I love/hate the ceb-3. I love the high pass filter for just leaving the pedal on and jumping up high and coming back down without having to be switching the pedal on/off. Sadly the overall chorus effect is too subtle in mono for what I like but I'll deal with it for the hpf.

You don't like the cali76 with flats?

If I don't need anything else, I'll leave the stomp or quad at home and take the cali76, dcx bass - the only analog pedals I have, and the khan vtdi. I think it sounds awesome with flats! (Or any bass/string combo, really)

Oh no, it sounds great with anything you put into it. It's an incredible pedal. I just think the Lab sounds even better with flats.

This is why I went back to my Yamaha MODX6 instead of using my Stomp or trying the new MXR pedal - although the latter sounds good in videos. It's just easier and yeah, some things just sound/feel/lay/play better on a real synth. I still have a Stomp for a couple effects I use but have debated going all analog with my Khan and a few pedals but by the time I buy the pedals it'll be twice as much as just staying with yeh Stomp so I'm doing that for now. I run it into my Lhan and that sounds pretty nice.
