Yeah, nice guy, and i was very pleased when he commented on how i must care about my tone cause he spotted my QED power cable and monster cabling. But everytime he's been a catalogue of errors, bless 'im. Forgetting to DI the bass again until i was half way through the first song when I realised (not him) and had to go hunting for the lead and plug it in. Then the time he accused my LM2 and traveller 102p of filling the room with bass and crushing his head so he had to take me out the mix (it was on 2, i very much doubt even the markbass has that sort of unmic'd power in a room that size in a 6 piece band!)
Then there was the realising he'd forgotten to turn the mixer on at all (after waxing lyrical about the great drum sound he'd 'mixed' !!!!!!!!!????) He simply cant hear!!!!
Then there was pulling the plug on us 15 minutes into our set cause he'd got his times mixed up, didnt even let us say goodbye!
Plus literally a whole bunch of other stuff!, including several times as an audience member that the whole rig was distorted and sounding very oiver stressed, but hes like 'naw man it sounds great!' in all seriousness i suspect his ears may have gone but he hasnt twigged. I cant recall what it was but the drummer was so angry last time he was about ready to deck him, and it was something else that just defied belief! He also kept telling guitar right to turn up and up and up, before we had to persuade him that it was the wring guitar and we were all deaf, he really wanted the other one. man just soooo many things, these are just the ones off the top of my head lol!
friendly and pleasent but to give him the benefit of the doubt, possibly not at his best in that venue lol, and i reckon with some serious hearing damage, not helped by mixing from well above the actual rig!!
