I mean, in a pro gig situation, like watching a band at Portsmouth Guildhall or The Brighton Dome. Band on stage, big PA, all of the players have in-ears.
The guitarist will often have a full stack or a double full stack. Always with mics in front of one or two of the cabs. I know it is then sent through the PA - but does anyone end up hearing anything that comes out of the guitar cabs? Wouldn't that interfere with the sound out of the PA? Do the people in the mosh pit get a bad mix with the sound coming form two places? The guitarist has in-ears, so he surely doesn't need to hear it?
Wouldn't it be more sensible to have a smaller combo off stage? I genuinely don't know the answer to this stuff, so if anyone has any experience, I'd be interested to know.
Money, guitars, cars, football, beer and women - roughly in that order. Also, black things are good. All hail the Lords Black, Burnel, Cornwell and Greenfield - and Squire Warne. Currently levelling buildings with a Precision bass for the unrivalled
