Hilarious and a totally exact depiction of real life - hey, I've had my bass sound sound"checked" like that!

I cried a little bit. Like Spinal Tap it's too true....

Even worse. Before the 'real' soundcheck you dial in your amp and when it's your turn the sound guy says: I already got you... Happened to me too often.

Love the extensive bass solo at the end.

I usually get um ok that's great let me gear your clean sound. Me that is my clean sound.

I've had that when sound checking with an EB-0 ... "Can you put some treble in?" "No, but I can dial it down a bit more ...".

Yup. My '64 EB-0 has two pickups - mudbucker and Dimarzion Model One. Two volume knobs (one for each pickup), no tone knob. No one in their right mind would need to CUT the treble from either pickup.

And the soundman surrendered in the face of the approaching mudslide ...

I can relate - most times I'm lucky to get through two bars of something before the sound engineer says he's ok.
