- Blending your tone in a complementary way is crucial when playing both synth & electric bass in a worship set.
Otherwise, you’ll be able to feel the low end sucked out of the room the moment you switch instruments.
This is a common mistake when approaching playing synth & electric bass in a live worship set.
In this series David Curran walks us through how he’s set up his rig to solve this issue & some tricks he’s used when recording on songs like Cody Carnes' “Nothing Else” & Phil Wickham’s “Battle Belongs”.

Always enjoy your videos and tips on this topic David! Thanks! Sounds GREAT!
You're awesome dude!!!
Awesome video! This is what I want to do eventually in the worship team I serve in.
Me too. I love bass. I want to see if it's something our worship leader would be interested in
Great video! In this, are you using both pickups?
Your bass tone is amazing
Glad you think so.
Thanks for sharing great tips for bassist at church :) After watching this video, I accidently figured out that Sub37 has Latch On at Amp generator section which you can activate holding note as using sustain pedal :) FYI. Anyway, I appreciate what David's doing.
Just a little tiny correction might be needed on the video of Part 2 that explanation of David's Oscillator, wethich is should be Triangle wave, not Sawtooth. I also totally agree either waves are fine yet on the setting it shows Triangle shape FYI ;)
Thanks so much for catching that for us! You rule!
awesome
Thanks!!
Hello, how did you make the pedal play the last note that was played? My pedal only sustains the current note, but if I'm not playing it doesn't play the last note like you did... I need to play the note again on the keyboard!!
How can i have both bass and synth connected together on the same amp?
Any pedal that can give me that moog effect on bass?
I was thinking of using a sustainer for basically what you are using the moog for. I don't have a lot of highs like you do.
That's great too!
, I would really like to do this for our worship set 1 day.
Definitely recommend!
Enjoyed this video and clicked the link but the link inside is a broken... :(
So sorry this didn’t work for you! I will look into this.
5 string and roll the tone off? 🤔
Unplug the bass and just sing really low?
Hey - love this! How do I set up my subphatty for a sustain pedal to work? I cannot get it working - is there a formwear update or hidden setting I need to change? Thanks!
All you need to do is plug it in! You'll be good!
@@Worshiponline Where do you plug it in on the sub phatty? There's multiple inputs
Use the input labeled ‘KB Gate’
I’m having the same issue with my sub phatty. I know you plug it in the KB gate input but it’s not working, I’m wondering if you have to set up something in the GLOBALsetting?
What about bass pedals (like a Moog Taurus) or a bass pedal controller with a keyboard? Or if you're in a more traditional church, getting your organist to play the sub bass parts on organ as you play bass guitar?
Those are all great ideas!
That's the setup to me is the most versatile. You can play "drone notes" with a bass pedalboard (Moog Taurus 1 or modern equiv: that bass synth you have hooked to a MIDI bass pedalboard like the Roland PK5 or Crumar Mojopedals, etc.). It's something that a lot of Progressive rock bassists used back in the day. Think Geddy Lee of Rush and Mike Rutherford of Genesis for 2 excellent examples.
awesome video, but i have a question, im beginner of synth bass(currently only playing acoustic bass) and i have no idea which synth i can start of. You have any suggestion? it might be "cheap" but actually useful on gigs. thanks you for the answer everyone!!
YES! There are so many cheap ones. Easiest is to grab a midi controller, and play through your computer! Cheaper costs and it will still sound amazing!
Software costs less than hardware, maybe Its the best solution. But if i Ask the most entry level piece oh hardware you would recommend?
@@enricoandrini4453 The Novation Bass Station II is a great bass synth and can be found relatively inexpensive... especially if found used or refurbished.
Hello! I’ve plugged in my sustain foot switch but it plays the note on the sub phatty as I depress rather than when I stomp on it. Any tips on reversing the action of this? Unfortunately the foot switch does not have a polarity switch.
What pedal are you using?
@@Worshiponline it is a korg ps-1

@@juancholuna895hola Juancho sabes como solucionarlo? Tengo el mismo problema con el mismo pedal
the link doesn't work on the website.
Thanks so much for letting us know. I’m currently looking into this!
2:40 TIL that as a worship bass player you sometimes have to put your foot down.
Where does one find a moog at?
The Moog store
I signed up do your free vocal lessons ...but didnt receive a mail ..I checked in my spam too ...didnt get one ...but I would really like to take this course
Sorry about that and for the delay! Email support@worshiponline.com and someone will be able to help you
A midi rig could do the same thing and more though Midi could be more problematic with a bass than a guitar I' not certain if manufacturers had sorted that out. I had a midi/peizo giutar bridge on and it tracked very well so I could hook it up to a midi X board or into a digital interface and run literally and sound from my PC VST soft synths through my guitar. I could get a piezo acoustic sound straight from the guitar, blend in the electric pickups and also use midi sounds so if I wanted a hammond organ or pad strings on power chords you could do that in addition. It can become a lot to juggle.There are so many ways to skin the cat these days. Tech is awesome to play with but it should never interfere with making music. Have fun out there.
Woo! Yes! You have fun as well!
What is the model of that moog?
Sub Phatty!
This guy will prolly hook up a midi control into the bass just to control the pitch shift on the synth
