coming from a newb prospective, i would rather have more stands to secure more tapir area.

that and i am also so clumbsy with my setting up (and always on 4:20 time... late) that i wouldnt know if someone in their right mind would want to clamp to my ghetto phabulous setup.

maybe when i get more of the tapir knots out of the routine i would be a better canidate.

Clamps are good... makes for good rig pics and gear comps.  Always be nice as stated and all should be good.  I can't believe somebody would ever deny a clamp unless his stand was already bending from weight...

i would just like to add that last night was a perfect reason why i think someone would be fool to clamp to me.  i was raising and lowering the stand more than a sane person would want to in order to troubleshoot the mics.  i guess if someone wanted to clamp thier shemps to my stand, i would just give them the cavat that i have no fucking clue how to run my gear and will be fucking with it all night... if they dont mind, well then, i dont mind.

Another bit of advice: Once you clamp on, don't break your shit down early.

I gave a guy clamp space for his mics at a show recently. When the show ran long and he didn't have another MD to keep taping, he got real pissed, started packing up his stuff and nearly pulled over the stand yanking down his mics ... all while I'm still running a recording. >:(

I was running a matrix with a board feed and he was hoping for a copy of what I got, but after that vulgar display of rudeness his email addy on the napkin never made it out of the club.

sounds like a classy guy. I love it when people ask you for a favor (such as clamping to your stand) and then they go out of their way to make you sorry you agreed to help them out.

I thought the protocol was:

1. Pee on the tapers leg
2. Clamp to his stand while he goes to clean his nasty self up

It's a n00b rig, but I still love it, 5 years later! I have no desire whatsoever to 'upgrade'. I figure it does a good enough job doing the task I want it to do (recording the music) so i'd rather take that $1000 and use it elsewhere... ;)

San Diego, CA, USA.

I guess it doesn't help that most w00k / jam music out there I really don't like .. but hell, at this point i'd pay the $30 to go to a WSP show and see 4 stands and get to talk to people and sit on a freaking grass field during a show .. ;)

Don't do what I did tonight    ;D

 I was the worst clamper ever tonight... My clamp hasn't shown up from b+h yet (it'll be here Monday) so I didn't even have one... and then I showed up late!!!  I heard 9:30 for the show, so that meant that they'd go on around ten at the earliest, right??  Nope!  And I couldn't get out of a family commitment, so I couldn't get there early.  Luckily, the guys didn't mind lending me a clamp, and sticking me on between songs.  Thanks Seth and Todd
