Worship Bass Pedalboards

Well..... as we discuss effects or nice clean DI, my mothership has posted songs for Sunday. We open with Elevation's Washed. This is new to me. I watch some videos and it's crazy high energy and fun and Nick Edwards blazes the way. I go to MultiTracks to listen to his parts. Right off the bat, it's using an octaver and RAT type distortion. Later some big hits may be using the Bass Microsynth. Doing some run throughs this morning, I find that the new JHS Double Dragon will cover his core sound extremely well. Our first call drummer is scheduled so our rhythm section should be a joyous thing. I am so blessed to be able to take part in helping lead this.

Played my final day at my home church yesterday... playing at different churches the next 2 weeks. I didn't get my PCO invite for this Sunday yet, but I just took a peek... and we are opening with "Washed" also.... it's new to me and this church. I guess I should start running through songs too.

Is anyone of the opinion that this would sound just fine without the effects and just use the bass plugged right into a DI?

I am. I play it 90% clean when we do it. (I even slap the key bass sound that's in the cracks on the verse - everyone loves it)

We both used our Messenger's for the first time today...:hyper:

Sound guys and WL loved it today. I used it on a song (Forever YHWH) where I switched to bass... but held the 'E' on the Moog with the sustain pedal... while picking on the higher 'E' through my Subsonic pedal over driven. At the end of the song I switched back to the Moog. It felt great... and I felt comfortable playing it, but I really need to get more familiar with the Messenger. I'm sure it could have sounded a lot better if I had more time to play around with it and understand it more.

Happen to have any idea what stand you're using for the Moog?

I bought this stand back in the 80's when I was using a Yamaha DX7 (Nord Stage of the 80's 😅).

Closest model I could find on Amazon is this one..


I'm spending the day with my oldest son all day. at Disneyland tomorrow... and since I have rehearsals on Thursday, I'm running through the songs today.. Playing "Washed" for the first time, and is new for this church... at that's what I read on PCO saying "NEW SONG"... haha.. Fun song!!!!

Not using Moog this Sunday... but I have it still set up in my room. Pic of my practice sesh....

Just started playing Sundays after a long time gap playing in public due to crushing confidence issues, but really enjoyed it tbh. We changed churches a few years ago and I've finally got back to playing. Both the drummers I spoke to had the same issue as me, took them a while to regain confidence too. Playing in a 3-week rota so next week. Just got an ME-90B, atm playing pretty clean for now but discovered Ampeg have a set of their own IRs that work great, including an SVT DI out that sounds awesome! Leaving the big board at home for now but might sneak the EH Mono Synth in just for fun. Might throw in a bit of drive next week, depends on what we're playing, the guy heading our team is up for experimenting!

What's the difference between a church and a night club? Just focus on your tone and playing.

I kind of approach it the same as I would for a "metal bass pedalboards" thread or a "funk bass pedalboards" thread. There are certain effects, like the Bass Micro Synth that are all over modern worship songs. But, the BMS doesn't pop up as much in other threads. Just as, filters are discussed here, but probably not to the extent that they are discussed in funk threads, etc.
A lot of us are playing the same songs and it's nice to be able to discuss how we are achieving certain tones all in one place.
Plus, I've made some good friendships in this thread. I hope my posts help in some way, but it's also nice for the community aspect.

I wanna know what kazuhank (or anyone else rides as well). Me...

1 --> 2004 Buell XB12S "Kaos"
2 --> 2024 Royal Enfield GT650 "Poverty"
3 (coming soon) : 2024 Indian Scout Bobber

/threadjack
Click to expand...
1--> 2024 Triumph Speed 400
2--> 2007 Triumph Bonneville Black that is such a cold starter that the little Speed 400 gets the daily usage these days

Those Indian bobbers look dope. I have a buddy that works at an Indian dealership on the other side of the river in Washington, and I need to check those out.

Jumping on the Moog train with a used Sub Phatty. Fun so far. View attachment 7456656

The Sub Phatty is what we have as the house sub synths at all of our campuses. I bought one myself to build patches at home and I love these. They are so simple, take up minimal space and get the job done. I bought the Moog gig bag which protects mine well enough and doesn't run $300 FWIW

I am not seeing the gig bag available anywhere. The one for sub 37 shows up but nothing for phatty/25.
