My opinion:
You don't negotiate with your doctor when he prescribes you meds, right?
The AE is like being a band-doctor, and what you prescribe them is what they need. If they don't want the treatment, they'll suffer from the consequences, and then will blame the doctor because the pain is still there.
So I tell them in the first place I am actually going to reamp their guitars to a good sound. If they don't agree, they can look for another mix engineer, because I'm not willing to compromise my product.
Finally, PRO is not giving what the clients want in the first place but the SATISFACTION of the customer at the end.
What if the band turns up with a 5150 and a tubescreamer, will you still re-amp then???

if you turn up at the doctors and you're already taking over the counter exactly what he was gonna prescribe you, he's not gonna have a problem with that

Reading this thread can be likened to watching somebody jerk off on their own face.

Why do you say that?
Suggesting it is one thing, and it's perfectly acceptable, but to actually do it against the wishes of the person paying for the service is beyond the limits of acceptability.

Most bands thank me for being a relentless obsessive when it comes to their guitar sound.
