Hey Simeon, I know you've just been through some trauma, but if you've got any good Steve Hackett patches you'd care to share, I would REALLY appreciate it!:encouragement:
I've been kicking around a second Axe for this specific reason. I might go cheapo though and get an HD500 instead.
no usb cable...shit. singer went home and returned later with every cable from his house. no usb cable.
Typical singers!
Alot of singers i know, don't know what "OWNING their own microphone" is... ;-)
I had a horrible reminder as to why I always bring my own mic a few weeks back. I was playing as a guest for a church band and they wanted me to use a wireless mic because of where they had me standing on the stage. My mic isn't wireless, so they had me use one of theirs.
So I lead the song they wanted, and everything goes smoothy. However, at the end of the service they decide to have me come back up to lead the song again as an "outro" kind of thing. Well, in the mean time, the wireless mic that I was using had been passed between a number of fairly animated speakers/prayers.
We start the song and all is well until I go to sing the first vocal. To my horror, I discover that the collective breath/spit of every one of the previous speakers had saturated that microphone with a foul, odorous, abysmal stench. And I still had about three minutes and forty seconds of song left. I pushed through and wouldn't you know it: the band leader had me repeat the chorus about three times at the end.
It's funny now...
:lol
:shockI know a girl who said she got mouth herpies from a soggy kerioky microphone.....
You think they cleaned that mic before they handed it to you the first time? May not have been wet, but...I had a horrible reminder as to why I always bring my own mic a few weeks back.
