Baddog, what kind of rig do you use, what kind of music, and what type of places do you play mostly?

I use a Peavy T Bass rack mount amp with a Sonic maximizer, Korg rack tuner, Samson wireless with belt pack along with a Crate 18" enclosure.
My Hartke kick back is a practice amp

Oh sorry I forgot! We play Christian Praise/Rock, we started out just playing in church and had so many compliments we took it on the road. Our lead singer and I left that band found another guitar player and drummer and have been doing this with them for the last 3 years.

As I've said before, I have all Hartke. A Kickback 15 for practice, a 3500 head, 115XL cab and a 210XL cab. I really like the sound. If it's too bright, that's what the EQ on the bass and the amp are for - to control your tone.
I use the Hartke Kickback 15 at church and have found that the sound is too bright for the context I play in. I've adjusted the EQ and the shape, but I either get a really bassy sound that just doesn't cut through at all or a sound with a nasty accent on the mids.
The Hartke Kickback 15 is a great deal for the modern bass tone, but I think it fails at producing a good vintage tone.

That is AWESOME, Dog! Glad to hear it! Something about Christian Rockers, eh?
Do you ever watch TVU? My fav is the Supertones - Mojo is so cool! I really liked Earthsuit and met their great bass player Roy Mitchell a few times (a fellow Ken-Smither who changed to a Music Man StingRay fiver). But now they're defunct and I can't find them anywhere. I'd really like to talk with Roy again.
Also Kutless is really coming on strong.
Dog, do you do originals, covers or both? I play on our praise and worship team. We have me on bass, 2 acoustic guitars, 1 electric guitar, drummer, percussionist, tenor and alto sax, 3 keyboards (Korg Triton - Roland - Alesis) and anywhere from 12 to 20 in the choir on any given Sunday. We do everything from Paul Baloche to MercyMe to Israel Houghton to Kirk Franklin to Joe Pace to ......... The Lord has blessed us indeed!
God Bless You!

Man, i wish i could have been playing at church for the past year, but alas, I have not found a single church in this town that i currently live in that is focused on the right things..
suprising really, since Colorado Springs has the Focus On The Family and the huge church up north. big religious sect, but no such luck for me..
next month i move back home and call it good!

spectorbassguy, We do both originals and covers, my by buddy wrote a song that lists the fruits of the spirit in the song. It was a great teaching tool for our youth group, its amazing how many people that go to church that can't name the fruits of the spirit! I have not heard of TVU but I'll look for it, is it on cable?
Disquieter, keep looking and don't give up! There has to be one somewhere for you!

Spectorbassguy,
I would love to get my hands on a copy for my personal use or just to read it. That is soooo! cool. Oh by the way "The Newplainsmen Quartet" is looking for new material. They have a web site under their name.
