Re: [Harp-L] power strip

Please be aware that with the three prong testers, In some cases the outlet still might not run normal items. A hot ground wire plus reverse polarity could give a false positive reading

Use a power strip always. Plug the whole band into one power strip. A ground 
fault can kill a guitarist and it's not fun for a harp player. I've gotten a 
nasty shock when my lips brushed the vocal mic while holding my harp mic. 
Electricity is nothing to play around with and clubs frequently have 
horrific wiring. Take one of those outlet checks they sell at the hardware 
store too--all the lights light up green if the outlet is grounded 
correctly..
