Things you hate when giving/getting a demo?


Recommended Posts

I don't demo much as I'm not that loud, but I can't think of a bad demo at all. I either get that it's too loud and I'm crazy from normal people or the general thumbs up from fellow bassheads. I did have an EX GF that would complain about it any time she was in the car.

As stated above, I hate people that tell me I need to play a certain song. Sometimes I humor them if they are a friend by playing mids/highs full tilt but bass knob really low. or other times like when my buddies roommate wants to play some dubstep shit and I see him queuing up youtube I tell him straight up there ain't no fucking way in hell. But i will for sure demo with my music that I know is clean

Or when i was running at .25ohm and i'd get excited during a demo and wang on the dial sending the amp into protect almost immediatly, soo disappointing lol

my hands shake when i demo, dont know why, probably adrenalin. i hate that shit

Huh?

same thing happens if i race, get shaky. guess i'm weird

Same here. It isn't bad- it is just every time, I know it is coming and there is nothing I can do to stop it.

Same when I get in the lane. Get all excited and a bit shaky b/c of it. Learn to embrace it. lol

Peeves when giving a demo:

Touching the subs. Don't touch the subs.

Opening the sliding door and the whole setup unloads and goes wrong.

People climbing all over the back seat to stick their head in the port. That is just rude, son.

The folks that say "why don't you get..." insert anything else (different subs, amps etc...)

The folks that say "why don't you move the box up to the B-Pillar?"

Peeves when getting demos:

People that play their stuff too hard or clip the piss out of their tweeters and subs.

^ ...especially when coils get stinky and THEY HAVE NO CLUE that is not a "normal" smell.

When ALL I can hear is Bass or Bass and Tweeters playing 10,000 hz and up.

^ ...I think there is supposed to be music in there somewhere?

When people show their electrical and there are no fuses, and wires are laid out all willy nilly just asking to short.

My only complaint is trying to hold RPMs steady while messing with bass knob/volume, watching at subs, answering basic questions.. etc.. while Demoing

I hate when I don't know a song and the drop scares the shit out of me. Feel like such a pussy.

"Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

What are your pet peeves when giving/getting a demo?

We've all had the 20 second demos

Today I was giving someone a demo and they tried to take over my deck!!!!!!!!!!

You never touch a basshead's Head Unit!!!!!!!!!

I nearly tossed him out.

I don't know, I'm the opposite. As long as they don't touch settings I dont care, they can pick and choose songs. I just connect via BT to a galaxy tab anyways so they can choose their own poison

That being said, I HATE getting a demo and they say ..."Yeah, my amp is only at half power."

Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

When people talk shit before even getting in the truck for a demo, then I have to turn it up and make it hurt, win win :D

Well this really isn't during a demo...but when your driving with a friend and you want to hit that bass knob, they keep on talking, just as you start to touch the knob, he starts on another story smh. During a demo....we've all seen that one guy, that wants to see your entire setup, and tells you how much of it you have wired wrong. "Nah man you shoulda wired it at 17.5 ohms, oh and you need a cap...yeah, my cousins baby daddy's friends mothers boyfriend told me this,"

believe half of what you see and none of what you hear lol.

I've shut my gf up like that a few times. The couch had company on those nights.

Ha this happens to me almost every day on my way to work I pick up a co worker. Luckily he's a good friend so I just stare right at him while he's talking and I start turning up my knob until he stops talking.
