So I shared that with my friend Steve who owns a great guitar store here in Colorado and He laid this one on me:

We had a dear little old lady ask for someone in the “accordion strap repair department”. I told her we had recently shut down the department cuz it was mighty slow.

A guy brings me this amp to tune up. I retube it and tell him that "rebiased it for him."

He says, "How does it know I'm white?"


ummm, not that kind of bias........

I was setting up for a show and had a new young guy helping me.
He was not a dumb kid, just didn't know much about sound equipment.
I was string some mic cables out and the one I had chosen was about three feet too short.

I asked him, this ones too short, you wanna go get the wire stretcher?

He said sure, where is it.
I sent him over to another guy who was in on it.
We sent that poor kid around the building about three times before he got it......

I had a friend swear to me that i was going to fry my champ playing it through his 2x12. "Dude!?! A 5 watt amp can't push all that resistance!"

Had a sound guy mike my head :? .....should have taken a pic before I moved the mike. I knew we were in trouble that night.
It's more of a visual joke.

A friend was in an Atlanta music store looking at some keyboards back when MIDI instruments were just coming on the scene. This guy walks in and in a slow southern drawl, asks the salesman: "What do my-dy do?"

Bud's Music

Post by crunchy »

I sold and repaired insruments at Bud's Music in Lafayette, La. in the late 80's and heard lots of funnies. Two that come to mind:

"Yeah, I need to buy some of them chains what follow a snap drum." - for snares.

I was quizzed about whether I knew anything about a "Fender Led Eye" - for Fender Lead I.
