"Deer pants" has a nice descending bass line - I always used to play the octave line from Bach's Air on a G string underneath it.

You don't need reverb fx pedal when playing in church.

Does anyone use one on bass - I never have!

I have one on my pedal board. Little, small extra.

Yes I too have one. Very subtle though.  And I debate with myself if a little bit makes the sound a bit fuller or not all the time. It would be the first pedal I get rid of 😅

Came home buzzing as had a great service - got a lovely growly sound out of the Warwick (ended up using its passive mode) and following the friday practice was far more comfortable with the five strings today - then stomped in a mid boost using a Boss GEB-7 for the two songs I played fretless on and got enough mwah that the worship leader even looked at me and smiled... small things!

ooh new bass sound to aspire to. Not quite sure why this came up in my watchlist but I like it!

For the third year in a row we had a Church Weekend Away at a local Guide & Scout centre.  The weather was excellent and so was the food!  Friday night BBQ followed by a Ceilidh.  Saturday morning there was a service and Bible talk with refreshments in the middle!  Saturday afternoon fun and games such as Badminton and Frisbee Golf (so much better than real golf) and more great food.  It was back to church for Sunday morning before returning to the centre for a picnic and more games.  It was a great way to meet and get to know new members with over 150 people attending.  I was playing bass in the band and the singing was brilliant.  I can recommend such an event to build church relationships.
