In this episode of Worship, Bass, Coffee, I sit down with Ethan Eichhorn — a longtime Instagram friend turned real-life hang. Ethan shares his journey growing up in a musical family where both parents were professional musicians, and how bass became the perfect blend of groove and melody for him.

By day, Ethan leads in the construction world after earning a degree in electrical engineering. Between travel, remote work, and raising three kids, he still finds time to serve at The Orchard, often pouring into the student band so he and his wife can serve together. We talk about how he prepares for Sundays—listening first, visualizing the parts during his commute, and memorizing songs so there’s no stand between him and true worship.

Gear heads will love this one. Ethan walks us through his setup: a Fender Roscoe Beck V with La Bella Super Polished rounds, a Sire Z7 five-string with Ian Allison strings, a Lake Placid Blue American Original P-Bass strung with low-tension flats, and a sentimental ’90s MIM PJ that still sees plenty of play. His all-in Quad Cortex rig delivers clean SVT-inspired tones, smart routing, and studio-grade flexibility—perfect for both church and travel.

Ethan’s wisdom runs deep: get on stage, play with musicians better than you, memorize the set, and honor your season. Whether it’s leading worship, investing in family, or simply serving faithfully where you are, his story is a reminder that humility and preparation go hand in hand.

Grab a cup of coffee and join us for this grounded, encouraging conversation.
