The EMO takes mic, line, or 50v speaker level inputs, I have never used the latter! I actually got them because many years ago I needed three DI boxes in a hurry. I was working in Leamington and a colleague suggested I try some shop called Bass Direct on the off chance. I phoned and the owner said they didn't stock them, but he was clearing out some used personal PA gear to sell so as it happened he had two mono and a stereo DI. They have been on stage at church, or kicked round the back halls ever since.

Thanks for posting this, I look forward to a proper listen on a laptop with headphones. I have been trying to explain to the other engineers that the frequency response of a DI box depends crucially on the components (esp the transformer for passive DI), and that there is a good reason to use active DI for passive bass because it doesn't load the guitar. Maybe just listening to the differences will make it clear. I use EMO passive boxes on stage, bomb-proof. Not perfect for elecroacoustic guitar, but better than any other passive I tried, and fine for active bass and keys.

There's probably a whole thread to be had on apps for digital music. OnSong seems popular for chords, I use MobileSheets and have used Picascore in the past. SongSelect is probably the default source for downloading music covered by CCLI onto PDF. No doubt there are others too.

Filter?? BC has a bass porn thread! https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/4-gear-porn/

It took me ages to realise that when the band leader lifts one leg that means "back to the chorus".
-
Welcome aboard. Great band name 👍
-
I was sort of spared the kids song this evening, as I had to double up as sound engineer. Sunday will be OK if I manage to get some practice tomorrow. Hope your Sunday goes well @Big Rich.
-
Welcome! What's the second on the left with the knife-like headstock? Very cool.
-
I'm off to band practice in about 10 minutes, and have discovered that we are playing this as the kids' song: I appreciate it is for young children, but any suggestions? Please? Help!

See also the thread on smuggling pop bass lines into church music. 😉

I have a washboard somewhere...

"my church band" - I take it that means you already know the style of music and setup if you're worshipping there regularly? Assuming that, then I guess it depends on your playing ability and experience. I still have to get the music/lead sheets/chord sheets well before the practice and in the keys the band intends to play them in. (Lead sheets especially as they show what the timing should be). Practicing with YouTube is fun, as you probably won't play in the same key as the video! Then as @LukeFRC and @owen have said, it's about playing tastefully to support the band, who support the congregation. If you can add fills that support the music then great, but watch that pianist's left hand. And, please, talk to the sound guy/gal. We're not scary, just tired, and we do actually want the band to sound as good as possible. 👍

Welcome aboard!🙂

At the Midlands Bass Bash? Assuming we finalise the date..
-
Just googled your band and found the bandcamp pages 😁 Need a proper listen when I not being harrangued to help with the end of year crossword, but as you say, very metal!
-
Hello and welcome 🙂

Welcome aboard. 🙂 If you have been on this forum for any length of time you will already be anticipating this question: Contrabassoon - is it any good for metal?

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2019?
Richard R replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Last purchase of 2019 now made, post Christmas sales and money sat in my PayPal account: https://www.dawsons.co.uk/armourdillo-defender-bass-guitar-gig-bag It won't arrive this year, but I shall post back in @Kirky's thread as to whether it's any good or not. Slàinte Mhath everyone! -
That I like. I can see why it didn't make the album, it wouldn't quite fit. Sounds like it should have been on Heavy Horses but with the synths from Broadsword. Tull got their Christmas Single royalties with Solstice Bells, but I'm off to dig out this and wake the rest of the house up.

Just googled the Osaka Monaurail album. That blew away the cobwebs! You must have played a real belter 😎
-
I happened to be near Bass Direct on Wednesday and popped in to have a play on a couple of 5 string basses, just to see how I got on. One was a TRB1005. It just sounded great, definitely a player's bass. I'm not in the market for anything, but if I was this would be high on the shorlist. GLWTS 👍 -
Well I was confused as I read " \\ to the .." as "angled to the ...". "// to the..." is clearly what you meant, unless you're left-handed. 😉
-
That's what was so strange and funny, clearly the sax player can play. My first thought was that his iems must have failed and so he couldn't hear the keyboard. But when no one stopped him...

Terrible reheaesal on Monday for a big service on Sunday. Very, very, stressful, still wound up yesterday. A friend sent me this to cheer me up. Hope it makes some of you smile too.

Oh Come All Ye Faithfull (adeste-fideles). Trad words please or you'll confuse me as to where the chords change 😉
