USING ONLY THE BEST BASS IN WORSHIP!

I think we have a Fodera - Smith sighting! What a combo . . .

:cool:
 
I used to play at New Life Christian Center in Princeton,MN.Lots of great tunes-:Blessed Be Your Name" probably my favorite.Now that I dont play in a band anymore I'm getting the itch to play again at church.

That is what I do...between running a business and family "stuff" I do not have time for a band....but hey - I am in church every Sunday anyways and we practice Thursdays so that is only one additional day (unless we call an "impromptu practice" (for fun not really "practice"))....it really fits into my lifestyle....besides, I feel like I am doing somehting good for the Lord in doing it....getting HIS word out there an (hopefully) helping it sink into some people's hearts and soles....along with the GREAT sermons at our church!

I would say - go for it!
 
I'm playing my redeemer lives this sunday at our teen service. I've written a slap part for a few sections of the song. it sounds awesome!

That is an AWSOME song!!! I love playing it as well.....there is a part (the way we do it) where it is just drums and bass for a few bars....I end up doing some minor finger work, but the other bassist (we switch off) does some great slapping...wish I could do that - it sounds sooooo good!

Post it.....would lov to see/hear it!
 
We have 3 adults bands and only 5 bassists so I get to play 3 or 4 times a month. I play a Yamaha TRB-6 direct to the board and use in-ears for monitor. We have 2 awesome sound systems with pro-level gear and a very good tech crew. Working on building a pedal board, right now I have a chorus, a compressor, and a sonic stomp pedal. Just ordered an envelop volume pedal for that faux-cello sound on slower songs.
Favorite songs now are Trading My Sorrows and To the Ends of the Earth.
 
I just got offered to play on the worship team at a new church started attending,I think I'm gonna do it.Been a while since playing live,but if it's for the Lord,who cares right.I can't wait to try out my new Precision Deluxe.
 
It's not the instrument, it's the attitude. If you are more readily able to praise God on your stingray for whatever reason, then praise on it. There's nothing too flashy for church, unless you make a show of it. Whenever I play with an attractive instrument (most of the time) I stand mostly behind one of the guitarists. I pull out my bass as if it's any old instrument and I'm just there to praise Him.
