    Our indie-rock version of Chris Tomlin's "Set Free (Joy, Joy)" but with a Valentine's twist at the end. The song starts dead on at 5 minutes in. The sound of my Pro Series Wal bass comes through really nicely on the mix. So glad that our pastors and worship team appreciate the role that bass can play in a mix and driving a song and aren't scared of it!!! Hope you like it.
     

    Great stuff Trevor, enjoyed that! Very good mix as you say. And a bonus point for dual 'TrevCam' ;)

    Im not a man of religion so I don't go to church but I have been to some gigs in a converted church. There's something rather atmospheric about crushingly heavy death metal performed in a medieval church. Gothic architecture just works so well with heavy music. It was acoustically very good as well. 

    I'm guessing you've heard Sunn O))'s Dømkirke - immense sound on the record, but must have been incredible to hear it live. Our church like many others has lots of glass instead of stone, soft coverings on seats  rather than wooden pews etc., so not in the same league acoustically - however it does resonate at A, which has resulted in some bass shocks to those sitting near the back!

    For all the basses I have loved...

    The one I still own is in bold :)

    The ones I miss most are the Alembic, ACG, Wal and Fender '79 P.

    The biggest surprise was the Xotic XJ-1T 5, so easy to play for a 4-stringer like me.

    The ones in italics I've sold to Basschatters, having bought several from Basschatters too.

    I let you guess when I joined Basschat ;)

    Not of a religious persuasion at all but there's  a Christmas day gospel service on BBC at the mo. What a band. !!

    Superb.

    Yeah just been watching it too! Cracking band :)

     Did you recognise the bassist's second bass? Very nice looking 5-string J with maple board but I couldn't work out the logo...

    20201209_085353.thumb.jpg.4b4c29d67eae4f366e94e344051f4805.jpg

    35" scale for a mighty B string, and an active B/M/T pre with volume/blend. Purchased from Brother Jones of this parish but now need to make space for impending house move...

    43mm nut

    4.6 kg

    19mm spacing at bridge 

    Condition:

    Cosmetically as per photos, one small dent on front shown.

    Fully working order and a lovely player.

    All controls work well, although the centre detentes don't 'bite' as much as they maybe should. But the pots hold their position and I've never had a problem.

    Comes with gig bag, of which the pocket zip doesn't work but the main bag zip does.

    Will ship for free in UK by Parcelforce 48

    Hello and errr, some advice please...

    Hi there MWP, certainly no harm in starting on a 5 - many discussions here on the benefits of being able to extend the scale patterns by one more string, meaning you can 'park' your fretting hand in one position and minimise shifts up and down the neck. Pay attention to muting as you have one more string to keep quiet when it's not being played though! I found this video useful:

    ...albeit I was coming from 4 string. The Sire sounds a great choice, or keep an eye on the Basschat markerplace. Good luck!

     He always made things sound great and rocky and he loved the combo of my Wal and MarkBass amp. 

    I can well believe that - to my ears, the '85 olive ash Wal I all too briefly owned direct to desk via XLR was both my favourite tone and one with zero noise - amazing electronics!
