...So...similar to a POD? Only not as complex and fleshed out....meets a direct box?

Sorry. When I play, I plug my amp into my cab and my bass into a tuner (and distortion sometimes) and into the amp. Easy peasy. I'm new to this complicated/technical stuff. Less to worry about haha

Oh very nice very nice. I bring my amp/cab to morning service because it's literally RIGHT across the street and it's easy to roll over there. Then I go from my amp to the system. The mix between the monitors and the bassyness of my cab is nice.

But night service is out on the outskirts of town and I don't like hauling my stuff out, so I plug directly into the system. So one of these would be nice to give the sound some character.

I plug into my tuner, into my NEW AND WONDERFUL Bass Xciter, which is then pugged into the system. and recorded live. every sunday. yay. hehe.

Very nice, very nice!

Yup, we have IEMs and we can adjust our personal monitors to a mix that we like it. So obviously I crank the bass, acoustic, then lead electric and keys. Everybody else gets turned down in my ears. Well, lead vocals are kinda important too. I usually play with one ear in and the other ear listening to the House.

I wish we had IEMs My old church did, but like I said, we're a fairly new church. They would be great since my group (the group I'm in... My friend, his wife, and I.) are wanting to use loops... it would be a lot easier with a click track in our ears.

I hated the click tracks when we first started using them, but I'm a better musician for it now. I have a better internal sense of time, I probably don't need the click anymore. But still love it. If I hear the click I know I'm off, but if I dont hear it, its because I'm playing everything right and don't need to listen for it.

mwahahaha! I knew this was far too serious, even from the first post, to be in CPF!

[JesusFreakGirl]

I thought it was going to go downhill with my excitement. But it stayed serious. So I moved it to a more appropriate location

Wow, so much power! "Oh hey, I think I'll move my thread somewhere willie nillie. Pell mell."
haha.

I'm making this cheap. Oh the irony. Sweet sweet irony.

Dude, pretty sure everyone can move thier own threads to an appropriate forum. And back to the topic - Bassiliciousness.
