"Professional" does not necessarily mean "genius"…

Just a (slightly) embarrassing moment in the life of a working musician….

So, I've never been very fond of how the electronic pickup on my ukulele sounds. I've always thought it a bit harsh. Well, last night when I was fooling with my amp to make sure the riotstat for the volume knob wasn't busted (it wasn't), I nudged the pickup adjustments on my uke and LO! The harsh edge to the tone was GONE! I happily spent several minutes tweaking them this way and that way until I found just the right sound I wanted…

To quote Dear Husband:

"And just *how* long have you owned this setup?"

To which I sheepishly admit that just because I can play multiple instruments and take delight in spending my nights as a musical ninja, does not mean I'm skilled at reading users manuals…
