Sound guy attempted to adjust my amp

[Pops OB]

"Sub guitarist"

If a sub-woofer produces lower frequency sounds than a woofer, wouldn't a sub-guitarist be a bass player?

NO! Because a bass is NOT a guitar!

NO! Because a bass is NOT a guitar!

A bass guitar is though.

I can't say I've ever had someone else physically try to adjust my amp without asking.
I've been asked plenty of times to make adjustments. If they're standing out front they've got a better vantage point than I do to hear what's going on.

"Yer gonna look real funny trying to brush your teeth with no fingers" is my typical go-to response for unwelcome advances towards my amps.

To which he replied, with the worst breath you've ever smelled, "I don't brush my teeth."

"I don't brush my tooth"

There, fixed it.

I didn't read the entire thread.. but
If a soundman started tweaking knobs on my amp WITHOUT my permission, he's likely to lose those fingers.
And I'm a soundman too !!

First rule on ANY stage/venue.
If you don't know the person or haven't gotten permission..
DON'T TOUCH someone else's gear. Period !!!

I've never had a soundman adjust my amp himself. I will oblige EQ and volume requests up to a point.

Sound Guy:"Too much stage volume from the bass."
I turn it down.
SG: "Still too much stage volume from the bass."
I turn it down.
SG:"Sounds great."
"I can't hear it onstage. Can you put some through the monitor?"
SG: "How's that?" (it's a tinny whisper)
"I need way more than that."
SG: "That's all I've got."

Sigh.
