Sign in to disble this ad
the sound crew guys fixed up a mic on a stand in front of my friend's BASS (there was no backline or amp) while was setting up, so he asked for a DI and cables but they didnt respond. so this dude plays the whole gig standing in front of the mic with an unplugged electric bass and a massive grin, i bet he had a blast 
now that tops of the strangest and funniest stuff at gigs i have heard of!
sorry i cant find no pictures

Wish I'd seen it actually, just for kicks

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2006 Location: Buffalo, NY | |  - it makes you wonder, though - if the sound guy was that brite in the 1st place, would he even know what to do with an actual signal from the bass? I mean, those sound boards have like THOUSANDS of buttons and sliders.... |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: sheffield, england | | | Good point...well the way I'd see it is - if he screws up the sound, go tell him what to do afterwards (or maybe tell him where to go after the mic incident...)
