I almost always like the P bass better these days. It took a few decades for me to hop on the bandwagon, but the band and myself are really sold these days.

I saved this from a post by Jim a while back:
Super Pre Signal Path
Gain
OD/Dist/Fuzz
Comp
VLPF
EQ/Tone
Effects Loop
Scene Vol Adjust
VHPF
VFBF
Speaker Profiles
Line Out Phase
Master Volume
Output Level Adjust
Yeah, MTD is definitely on the extreme end. I use an active J bass through various drive pedals with no problems at all just by turning down the output on my comp pedal. Although I do use drive less with it because it naturally cuts through the mix more on its own.
This weekend's setup! Additions:
Origin Effects Cali 76 FET Compressor
Origin Effects DCX Bass
Both absolutely ripped!!!

I've been rocking this lately. The Stomp does the core sound, modulation and distortion. The Morningstar is controlling the C4 and the EFX loop of the Stomp. One expression pedal is serving 3 roles (FX loop blend, HX Stomp volume, and parameter control on the C4), and the other expression is for the MXR. Very versatile setup!
Are you using anyones presets or did you just make your own? C4 and MXR synth pedals - do you like one better? My band wants me to use my "real" synth. I'd like to try the MXR. I have some of IMA's synth presets for the Stomp, and they're ok but the MXR seems to be really good.
Please tell of your "chain-of-goodness" (my eyes ain't that great). lol

I'm using some community presets on the C4, but they've all been tweaked by me for gain, volume, tones, etc. If I had to rank the 3 synth options (not including my Moog) it would be C4, MXR, and then the Stomp (which I don't find all that usable in my world). I've really got the C4 nicely dialed in for church (80% of the time it's for that sub-bass, quiet rumble of 1st verse/1st chorus vibe)
I find I don't do much at church other than a good solid bass sound. The keys/synth guy takes care of all that stuff. I use the Ultimate DI for a Noble type sound.
For my cover band I'm finding I don't really use much of the Stomp's options/power and have debated going back to just a compressor, maybe eq and my Khan DI. I need to experiment a bit more with my Stomp to see if I can get a result I like more than I do right now. Just need to find some time.

Hey guys, I have the itch to try another fuzz, specially the Fuzzrocious Li'l Fella if anyone has one they're not using.
I picked up a nice Lakland 55-94 active 35" fiver over the summer at the recommendation of some Nashville cats. Sean Hurley played one for years, as well, before he went all P-Bass. The thing sounds so pure and nice in the IEM's I find that I just like hearing it with no effects or anything, straight into the RNDI. Sounds pro. Pedals just take away from it. Paradigm shift..... But then again, @NickyBass steered me into a 35" Lull P5 and that thing works very well with pedals.

I have a couple nice modern 5's - fretted and fretless - that also sound great by themselves. I use them once in a while if a song needs some extended range or just for something different - like the fretless - but it's been the P for most Sundays. I actually prefer bass with very minimal to no effects. Some eq, some compression, that's about it.
Be careful posting in the wanted section. Got an immediate response of someone who sent me a stock image. Profile had no feedback and their 5 forum posts reek of ChatGPT language.
lol
I get that!!! Mine aren't great either lol
For this exact setup:
Dingwall > Pinstripe MBFR (Jensen transformer output) > Cali 76 FET > Shaffer Replica (Which may or may not remain on the board) > EHX Micro Synth > Backburner Big Booty Judy > OxEAE Bass Driver > DCX Bass > Walrus Audio Julia V1 (Likely going to be swapped for V2 or another analog chorus) > Dunlop VP4 > Darkglass Infinity(Clean Preamp w/ Celestion Pulse 12 Impulse Responses)
What I'm likely picking up next is an Empress Buffer Plus to replace the MBFR. Want to try running parallel effects rather than just running everything in series.
Our Worship Team has the fortunate privilege to open up for Red Rocks Worship this Saturday night at our church for a night of worship. They are using our church for a venue on their tour. Super excited for this. Will post pics and such!
If you are in the North Dallas area come on out! Not many tickets left

Thought I'd share a cool video here. This is a worship song that just released today, and I recorded the bass track for it. The engineer put together this video showing how he mixed my bass part:
And here's the full song if you'd like to hear the final mix:

Yes! Please!?!?What a great video and sound!
Please share your HX Stomp settings.
