Let's list the "sucks tone" myths.

It's too obvious. Raymond!

Maybe it's not a myth? Who knew?

How about the biggest myth of all: that the audience can actually hear the difference in a performing situation!

well that's it really. they can't or don't care.

sure there are some things that make a huge difference but they generally involve using an entirely different rig or practicing. Otherwise i have to laugh at the cats who agonize over every little item in their signal chain as they are about to go on at Franks Bar and Grill.

Thank you.

I've had audience members refer to me as "one of the guitar players". So I suppose you're right; they wouldn't know the difference if I changed wood, strings, or brand of solder.

I got given a cable that was supposedly directional... one end had a big chunky block with Guitar on it, and the other end had a big chunky block with Amplifier on it... haven't used it as the big chunky blocks get in the way so I wouldn't know if it didn't work the wrong way round...

OK, got home... it says "Ripcord Bass by MIT"

here's a link to it
