My church got me playing bass for them just because they needed a bass player.
The problem I'm having is that CCM doesn't really have interesting bass parts given that the whole point of it is not letting the music distract from the words. Usually I just end up playing quarter notes of the root or occasionally a simple major/minor arpeggio.
Most of the "movement" in a CCM song comes from the singers and the chord changes, so what I'd there to do for a bass player who wants to add more texture to the song?
