Hi everyone! Currently, I'm pretty new to gospel music so I don't know much about the players and the songs and I'm also currently limited as I only have 4-string basses in my arsenal. I would really appreciate some suggestions for gospel songs that were recorded with a 4 string bass that I can learn/practice to hold me over while I save up for a 5 string. Thanks!

Yes church bass family! Drop a link to your social media or a video of you playing bass in the comments below and let's grow together and support each other!

Hey everyone, So excited to have you here. I'm Caleb and grew up playing bass in church but had no one to teach me & was self taught by force. Often we wear self taught as a badge of honour but it's not until I went to uni that I realised how limiting that was for me. Long story short, did my music degree & had a career as a professional bassist in TV, Film, The West End and session work. Now I teach on a music degree course and want to build a community to bring that level of education to people looking to play in church so you don't have to do it the hard way. Let’s learn from each other and let’s shed 👀 Please start by saying hi and introducing yourself below in the comments and let us know how long you've been playing & where you're based. Oh and also, this community is going to reach a wide range of people from different cultures, countries, communities and walks of life so be respectful with everyone and stick to talking about playing bass in church. Any ferocious doctrine or cultural debates will have you removed as that takes away from what this is for - helping people learn to play bass & serve better in churches.
