I was at a show 2 years ago and one of my artists was using my bass rig. The foh engineer (I use this term loosely) wants to run an XLR direct off the bass head. I tell him to make sure he uses the DI and not the speaker out. "What do you think I am, an idiot" is the reply I got. So he walks over and plugs in the XLR and POOOOF, the mix board goes crazy and dies! This bass head has 1/4 AND XLR out for speakers ans XLR for DI.
"Yes" I tell him. You are a F*&kin' idiot. Let me repeat myself. NOT THE SPEAKER OUT! The rest of the night was canceled.
