Yeah, and it’s also the fact that we have to be self contained, with lights and PA. They are used to it all being supplied. I laughed when the lead guitarist said about mic’ing his toy amp up. 

 

Yeh, when I joined my current band, the old band had lights and PA. This one had PA but no lights. The 3rd gig we did was an outdoor gig at an old farm house. In the dark. I bought some lights.

What is so special about his amp that it needs to be miked up? can he not go straight into the desk with a di or something if he hasn't got anything particualr

I don’t mind arguments if it gets things sorted, but this guy is very pushy and stubborn, so im going to let him have his way and just be a bass player from now on. This band isn’t worth stressing over, i had all this when i joined my main band and it was a very frustrating time, but most of us got through it.

 

Yeh, some times its just nice to step back and enjoy something for what it is.

I think until they get much closer to the giving stage I'll keep quiet about my PA etc.

The lead guitarist has a Boss multiFX so can go directly to the PA, he just hadn't thought of doing it until I mentioned it. He seems fixated with IEM, but has no clue whats really involved. Every conversation i have with him its 'well me and you can use IEM, if the other don’t want to f%%k them'. It's like he has read up on what a few big bands use and thinks its as easy as plugging headphone sin to a mixer. 

Ill be civil to him but wont entertain any conversation as far as sound etc goes. I know before I joined he was trying to get them all to go IEM and he felt that having me there would help push them towards that, but I cant see any reason to, and I know what will be involved if we did, and it would be all on me.
