'You think you know more than me?': A/V Technician puts bassist in his place

The world of small-time amateur musicians and semi-professional audio/visual techs is no joke and, like any small niche hobbyist community, is handled with deadly seriousness and rigorous hierarchy—with out-of-control egos abound. To a degree, this is fair… poorly engineered audio/visual setups are one of those things that can go hilariously and disastrously wrong, and even small mistakes or technical hiccups can ruin events and severely hamper their intended purpose.

And I promise you; it's incredibly likely whoever is handling the multimedia for your local events, whether it's a church or otherwise, is probably wildly overqualified for the gig; it's one of those things you do for the love of the craft. This was likely the case in this situation when the church band's obnoxious bassist saw fit to interject his thoughts on the setup. As with anything anywhere, even if you think you have important insight to share on something, it's important to stay in your lane.
