That's great! I've no idea what Bling-Bling is, I guess maybe they will explain it in the responses here that I haven't read yet. I have been meaning to ask the Big and Rich guys if I ever work with them, but we haven't this year, maybe next year.

Well, I am very disappointed that you let this snot-nosed muso touch your board...I hope you at least returned the favor and went and detuned his guitar, y'know, to let off dangerous tension on the strings.

I actually had a "guitar technician" in a shop advise me that I should completely loosen all the strings on my guitar every time after I played it to ease tension on the neck. Sheesh!! I wonder if his music store recommended the same thing for pianos! I suppose it would have boosted tuner sales (not to mention repairs on the continually jacked-around guitar neck...)

(Sorry - I know this was off topic, but it just goes to show you how you have to filter the "information" supposedly trained and knowledgeable people feed you.)

Apparently, he hadn't heard of the recent invention of the truss rod.  Wow, what horrible advice!

That really is crappy advice - that truss rod without any strings pulling against it is bound and determined to warp your guitar's neck over time.  What a retard.  People like that tick me off.

I should let that prick look at the neck on my '67 Jazz bass (my gauges are .050, .070, .090, and .110) and explain why the neck is perfect after all these years.

Thanks for all the input everyone. We have had a kind but firm discussion with him about division of labor in the worship ministry. It has also been communicated that he, by the way, is just plain wrong in his theory.

I am glad to report that all of the sensible recommendations that have been put forward in relation to this post are SOP for our group.

Incidently, he's a drummer. I haven't worked with him directly but I'm quite certain he would not be open the suggestion that he is setting up his kit wrong.

Sounds like you have handeled it well.  
As a side note, you should find out what "audio technician school" he goes to..
