What you think bass is, what your mum thinks bass is, what your friends think bass is....

Haven't had too many bad sound guys but the ones that are crap are really crap!!

I think the main thing is to let them know what you want. They don't read minds.

Something like - tone like early Motown b- tone like who bass - eighties where do I lay my hat - things they will understand. Don't let them touch your amp unless they want a broken arm.

I think this is probably the most common 'problem' with playing the bass. No-one really notices, until it's too late.

At an extreme, I physically assaulted a guitarist when after playing a song with my volume rolled to 0, he [i]still[/i] claimed the bass was too loud.

I'm still ashamed of my reaction to this day.
[/quote] i've done that- turned the bass off... thumbs up from the sound desk, band happy. i start pretending to play like flea in the 80's.... still don't notice...
