Weeks after we played with the Surfcoasters, a fellow musician told me that the mike on my amp sounded like it was damaged. He knows the my tone well enough that he KNEW it was not my amp. On stage it sounded great. I wanted to post this to encourage folks that know something is wrong to speak up... I would rather know early on to try to fix the issue than to suck tone-wise. —THe NEpTuNeS |

If you think getting the band's attention is impossible, try suggesting to the club's sound man that it's "lead guitar out front and roll back the kick drum," this ain't no disco. The Penetrators had it figured out. Somewhere I saw an "cheat sheet" they did on how to mix a surf band......clever. ed —Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? |

Man, a cheat sheet, great idea. If you ever come across it, let me know. I constantly am fighting the "disco beat" sound guys. —Surfcat NEW - MARCH OF THE DEAD SURFERS (Released Oct 17, 2024) - Agent Octopus AGENT OCTOPUS - BANDCAMP](https://agentoctopus.bandcamp.com/) |

I think Eddie having a say on the board is going to be part of the negotiations when we play a certain hot spot in Atlanta again! WHEW!! BASS BASS BASS!! A cheat sheet is a WONDERFUL idea. I'll take a copy of that as well (in case you can't be there, Ed...haha) —

I'll be happy to "man the board" for you guys anytime. I did pro sound for a number of years and I can say, I'm way better with a sound board than I am with a surf board................ —Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp.

I'm reminded of that Far Side cartoon, "Larry's last night as the band's sound technician," where he has his hand on the "suck" knob. —The Mystery Men? |

The Penetrators DVD has the chart of how surf music should be mixed. —Jeff(bigtikidude) |
