Worship Bass Pedalboards

[MTN.bass72]

I've done it both ways, including now, a Metro 20 and Classic Jr. Tomorrow I have a Pedal Pad AXS III coming that I'm going to move everything on to. More and more, I find going back and forth is a pain, so I'm just going to go in style and have everything there, ready and in a protective hard shell case. I'll post pics soon. Both my Metro 20 & Classic Jr will be in the classifieds soon as well.

If Steve takes your JR, I may be interested in the Metro 20

Man.....I just ordered a metro 20 yesterday. It'll be my first pedal board. I've only had a couple of pedals until recently and have historically just plugged them up individually at church each week. I now have 6 pedals and am getting tired of plugging and running the cables each week (even though it only takes a couple of minutes).

VTBassDI into a JDI. Or a Tone Hammer, also into a JDI.

I'm curious as to why you use both the tone hammer and the JDI? I've always been happy with the TH DI.

So here's a link to the full service from last weekend. Worship is from the beginning until about the 9:30 mark at the front and from 1:05:30 to the end. We do another one of our secular songs at about the 15 minute mark, and there is a prelude from our pastor that leads into the song. Pretty good example of how we do things for those that are curious.

Wow. Makes ours look like amateur hour, and you can actually hear bass in the mix. I'm guessing your FOH volume is louder than what we can "safely" run as well.

Your WT sounds great! Nice and TIGHT

Thanks Steve and Exalt.

As far as FOH volume... we are loud, we run at concert volume and have had to work with the community to find a volume that doesn't offend the neighbors. Our building is half and old Walmart and half an old Albertson's grocery store, so the initial construction didn't have sound insulation in mind. Lol.

That grindy pick tone that shines through around the 2:00 mark until it builds back up is just glorious. Love it. It's there the whole time but it cuts better at that point.

Nice video all around. Solid playing and great tone from you.

 

[bobbybass85]

Thanks two fingers! It's always been funny to me that a tone that I used to find purely hideous through my IEMs works so well in the mix. When sharing the stage with a piano, a synth and a leslie organ you have to find a way to love the mids. I say it a lot, MIDS are the biggest key to your tone and IME cutting mids cuts your tone out of the mix.

6 pedals and thats about it. I could find place for mini pedals.

I like the use of volume pedal and reverb in this example. Very cool and makes me want...



2:45 in...

Very nice vid. Thanks for putting that up here.

I also like the way he used his we pedal. I wouldn’t have thought of that.

Love that M81 pre and it looks like your settings are almost the same as mine.

Fantastic vid and playing!

Curious what your team practice schedule amounts to each week...and do you have rotating band members, or the same team each week? (I haven't reviewed enough of your videos yet, to know if I'm seeing the same faces each week... )

Love it man - what a great church - been checking out the Flatiron website - such a revelation to find a church that is not (a) religious, not (b) stuck in rules and regulations and (c) embraces all manner of available resources to bring the world to Christ. I am stoked to have discovered your House - bummed that I live in a difference continent hahahaha

Great P&W band - wow! Seriously tight and funky and skilled and I dig!!!

 

[kevk]

Just received my Darkglass AOm pedal...obviously a more modern/aggressive OD tone than my DG VMT. I really like the growl button, which adds back some low end...(now I wish the VMT had this feature!)

Man this is good stuff!!!
You use a B3K.. correct? If that's what I'm hearing, I may have to get one, sounds great

What I'll be using this morning although the PDF will not get much use but it's one board to rule them all!

So we have 4 locations at the moment with live music at each. Our team is a total of around 100 musicians. Of that only about 30 or so make up or main campus team that you see in the videos. We use PCO for scheduling and it really depends on your availability how often you're up.

Practice-wise the set is posted on Tuesday, band rehearsal from 7-9 Thursday night, then we do a full service rehearsal Saturday before starting the 4 services we do. You definitely need to be able to absorb music quickly, but it keeps it fun and challenging!

Thanks!! I was never a church guy, but my wife grew up around it. When we first started going she got involved in kids ministry, so I'd drop her off and drink coffee until we went to service together an hour or so later. I fell in love with this place and actually started living for Christ here because of the reasons you mentioned. Now I'm here more than my wife, lol.

Man this is good stuff!!!

Thank you, it is a B3k. I also used an aguilar agro for a while. Both are much more versatile than the reviews you'll see. I didn't love the B3K at first, but in a mix it is the best I've used.
