I had the Pirate experience last week for the first time. The bass amp sounded like a jam jar full of wasps. I set it flat and applied small tweaks to EQ over a few songs before finally settling for... a jam jar full of wasps. It was horrible. I think you have 20 minutes from the booking start time to contact the mother ship to register a complaint so I'll try that tomorrow. Fortunately we'll be back in our regular studio from next week.
