I do, although I left the levitical mantra behind, those Laws were replaced long ago. Brad, so sorry, you can't be just the bass player. If you're on stage, you're leading. When some of us gathered in Dallas, I believe five of us mentioned that we played at our respective houses of worship. | ||

Brad and Michael, I love being "just the bass player". Most of the time I'm not the singer or leader but it's easy to be in control. When the bass and drums are working together, the feel goes where we take it. Nobody can pull us away unless we go willingly. I love it. Rich | ||

No apologies needed Olie. Groovelines: The Israel stuff is great. I used to go to Church at Lakewood in Houston. I was actually in youth group with Joel Osteen. Where did I go wrong. Oh Yeah. My dad wasn't the pastor. LOL. I like to play along with Israel's "New Season" album. Keeping up with his bass player can be a workout at times. Personally speaking, I just think it is awesome that we get to Worship God with our instruments while leading others into Worship. It really is great. My dad also plays in his Church in Houston. Now he's playing guitar. He just purchased the Amber Skylark from the ALembic Store. So what is some of the other music you guys are playing in your Church? Any Hillsong United folks, like me? | ||

My dad's Church is Pentecostal and both of my brothers are Pentecostal Pastors. I never met a Pentecostal that "just" did anything. Anyway, I'm not beating you up. But I would like to lift you up.

Doc, The "just the bass player" remark was a little tongue-in-cheek. We're Oneness Pentecostal in every sense of the word. If you know what that means, you know also what I'm implying-- Hammond + Leslie, piano, drums, bass, guitar, tambourines, praise singers, and leaving church knowing that you had church. Bradley | ||

Doc, We tend to go through music so fast that every week typically has three new numbers. It's only been in the past year that composers like Houghton, Matt Redman, Derrick Horne and Chris Tomlin have been introduced as part of worship. When it's appropriate, we've also played Al Green, Parlament, James Brown, U2, Lynard Skynard (the senior pastor is from Alabama) and others. All truth is God's truth. One thing I've noticed is that I've become dependent on charts and don't commit any of it to memory. I need to check out the Hillsong references. | ||

Pentecostal, Tongue Talkin', Born Again bass player here. Song service consists of lots of different stuff-popular Christian songs + quite a few original songs by a couple of our guys (we have a library of about 100 songs that we play for song service). I also play in our outreach band that does lots of Gospel lyricized R&B/Reggae covers. We're a small church (about 70), but I'm blessed by the fact that the 2 guitarist are incredibly talented and gifted musicians. | ||

Doc, cool pic. Slightly differnet set up for us, the band pretty much stays on the back line and the vocal team has the stage - we're still wired up and I'm not sure music stands would look any better with lights. Our worship leader is pretty animated and a fantastic vocalist. He's not part of our rehearsals, so it's pretty lively on Friday nights - where's he going now? We keep to a pretty tight schedule and usually are held to four to five songs. I wish we could just have an hour to play - hmmm, I think I need to make a suggestion to the worship arts team. It's tough getting cut off from that emotional high. Celebrate, celebrate, celebrate! This weekend we're playing: "Bless The Lord" - Isreal Houghton; "Awesome God (He Reigns)" - Kirk Franklin; "To Live is Christ" - The Parachute Band (Toby, I bet you're familiar with them); "Friend of God" - Philips, Craig and Dean followed by "Complete" - The Parachute Band Four services on the weekend so I guess I get "enough" playing. (Not hardly) Olie plays tonight, wonder what's in store for him? wink wink nudge nudge ;) | ||

In the beginning there was a bass. It was an Alembic, probably a Series I, but it could have been a Series II - nobody knows. Anyway, it was very old ... And God looked down upon it and saw that it was good. He saw that it was very good in fact, and couldn't be improved on at all (though men would later try.) And so He let it be and He created a man to play the bass. And, lo, the man looked upon the bass, which was a beautiful 'sunburst' red, and he loved it. He played upon the open E string and the note rang through the earth and reverberated throughout the firmaments (thus reverb came to be.) And it was good. And God heard that it was good and He smiled at his handiwork. Then in the course of time, the man came to slap upon the bass. And lo, it was funky. And God heard this funkiness and He said, "Go man, go." And it was good. And more time passed, and, having little else to do, the man came to practice upon the bass. And lo, the man came to have upon him a great set of chops. And he did play faster and faster until the notes rippled like a breeze through the heavens. And God heard this sound which sounded something like the wind, which He had created earlier. It also sounded something like the movement of furniture, which He hadn't created yet, and He was not so pleased. And He spoke to the man, saying "Don't do that!" Now the man heard the voice of God, but he was so excited about his new ability that he slapped upon the bass a blizzard of funky notes. And the heavens shook with the sound, and the Angels ran about in confusion. (Some of the Angels started to dance, but that's another story.) And God heard this - how could He miss it - and lo He became Bugged. And He spoke to the man, and He said, "Listen man, if I wanted Jimi Hendrix I would have created the guitar. Stick to the bass part!" And the man heard the voice of God, and he knew not to mess with it. But now he had upon him a passion for playing fast and high. The man took the frets off of the bass which God had created. And the man did slide his fingers upon the fretless fingerboard and play melodies high upon' the neck. And, in his excitement, the man did forget the commandment of the Lord, and he played a frenzy of high melodies and blindingly fast licks. And the heavens rocked and the earth shook. Now God's wrath was great. And His voice was thunder as He spoke to the man. And He said, "O.K. for you, pal. You have not heeded My word. Lo, I shall create a soprano saxophone and it shall play higher than you can even think of." "And from out of the chaos I shall bring forth the drums. And they shall play so many notes thine head shall ache, and I shall make you to always stand next to the drummer. You think you're loud? I shall create a stack of Marshall guitar amps to make thine ears bleed. And I shall send down upon the earth other instruments, and lo, they shall all be able to play higher and faster than the bass." "And for all the days of man, your curse shall be this; that all the other musicians shall look to you, the bass player, for the low notes. And if you play too high or fast, all the other musicians shall say "Wow", but really they shall hate it. And they shall tell you you're ready for your solo career, and find other bass players for their bands. And for all your days if you want to play your fancy licks you shall have to sneak them in like a thief in the night." "And if you finally do get to play a solo, everyone shall leave the bandstand and go to the bar for a drink." And it was so. | ||

This is great, I am blessed to be a part of a team, and have been for over 12 yrs. A lot of similar music to what has been listed, some Ron Kenoly too, (didn't see him mentioned yet)Abe Laboriel on bass. Also, I just went to a clinic by Terrence Palmer of New Breed, Israel Houghton's band. What a great bass player,and true believer. We talked for quite a while about how good God is. And what our role is in His plan. Anyway, check out Glenn Kaiser, Larry Howard, Darrel Mansfield, for some other music. They are sort of a blues thing. Also bassdr. are you the guy from Michigan?

lbpesq: Right! No worries mate. ;) Actually, as far as the story goes: I don't know who wrote that. I just remember reading it when I was just punk kid selling my first Alembics at Guitar Center (read:evil empire) to guys who clearly ran circles around me on the bass. I did a google search for it and found it on another website. I embellished it with the Alembics because it was clear that the original writer was confused when he suggested that God would play a fender P-Bass. I just felt like gettin' a little silly. It's Friday. Actually, I've been quite punchy all day. I awoke this morning to the sound of someone breaking into my house at 6:00 A.M. After 10 minutes of me waiting for the perp to come through my door so I could could legally put the hurt on him, I finally opened the door to discover my wifes freakin cat had figured out a new way to on my nerves.

Me? I'm a faithful attendee at Our Lady of the Blessed Pillow on Sundays ... that, or my other favorite church, Saint Mattress ... Yes, I'm going to hell for that bit. True story ... When I was in Baghdad, we did our rehearsing in the chapel. The Chapel was a grouping of prefab buildings on the grounds of the Embassy. One night, we walked in, and the church group was rehearsing. I plugged in my amp and bass, and began playing along. They were doing some church stuff, it was OK, nothing special, but fun. I played along for a while, and after the tune ended, the keyboardist turned to me and said, "man, we've missed that." Good to know that the bottom end is universal, even in a war zone.

He ended up losing the battle with cancer, but we both know who won the war. =) My wife sung the song at my father's memorial service. I don't have a recording from the service, but I do have a recording of the one very short practice session we had beforehand. It's a one off take- my wife begged me not to post it- she's not happy with the vocals. We did add the backing vocal harmony at the beginning, but everything else was just straight into a CD recorder from my buddies practice mixing board. It's a 2.1 MB download, but have a listen if you'd like to. I love You Lord | ||

There wasn't any music to it- my dad just sort of sang it a few times into a tape recorder he had- we had about 3 hours the day before the service to get something together. My wife took the words and adapted the melody somewhat- the music was just made up to the fit the melody. Sorry to hear about your parents- cancer stinks.

The cinematography is not always the best. Same with the sound. It depends on who is running cameras that day. Other than that, it is pretty cool to be able to do that. We're working on getting a server that will allow up to 100 people to log in at the same time. Not Cheap. I think that we will be on the web all day on Saturday April 28th as well. My company does a yearly conference at the Church for people involved in the tech ministries at their churches and the Worship teams and pastors. The company that makes the big, fat HD video server will be there and they are bringing one and are supposed to hook it up and run it all day. Should be cool. You'll only see the classes in the sanctuary. But you can get a good idea for some of the other stuff my company does. www.zamarmedia.com | ||

Rats, unless it's in the public domain, we don't record the music portion of our service - message only. as an aside: Picked up Salvador’s “Dismiss the Mystery” disc. Great tunes with a Latin influence. We’ve played "Shine" during service. Some other great tracks are “Neighbor” and “Child of the King”. One of those God-moments. Yesterday, our worship band took part in a celebration service for a teen shelter. The event was hosted by and located in a prominent church in the Plano area. No amps, no stage monitors and nothing from the house for us or the vocalists. Good thing the drummer had an acoustic kit. And good thing the keyboard player opted to play the church’s piano and not his electric keyboard, otherwise we would have had nothing to keep time with. It was bizarre. Pray and play. The audience was on their feet and clapping. Either it was that good or they were that nice. | ||

Doc, Are you setting up a unicast or multicast server? We broadcast live events all the time using multicast servers that are hit by hundreds of users at the same time. Sometimes up to 2000 users. Simple Microsoft stuff. The encoder software is free, too. I'm in the front-end production side of the show, but from what I understand, an audience of 100 hitting a live stream shouldn't be a huge undertaking. What software are you using and whats your hardware configuration? Mike | ||

Currently we are using this piece here: http://www.vaddio.com/security/ip_network_camera_servers.asp It was quick and simple and allows those who may be sick to still go their church. We originally got it so our Pastor could log in while he was in the hospital. This weekend we are putting in one of these: http://www.viewcast.com/pages.asp?page=niagara-6225 They are one of the sponsors of our Worship & Tech Conference that e do every year. They will be teaching a class on webcasting for Churches. I saw this product in use at NAB. I was fairly inpressed. Of course its short notice. But, if your interested in attending the event, Alembic Club members are welcome to be my guest at the event. Here is a link to it:http://www.zamarsound.com/batmc/batmc.htm | ||

In addition to Sunday service, a couple times each year we have 3 other praise teams in town get together and have a couple of hours of just praise. Kind of Battle of the Praise Bands, but without the ego nonsense. Works best on a Saturday evening for us. Its good to hear other styles and players that we couldn't otherwise (we're all "working" the same shift!). Each group posts an ad in their bulletin. We usually get a few hundred people joining in. The only bummer is I have to be stage manager and sound man for 4 groups, but they let me play in the end! Larry |
