Back in the stone age of bar bands (mid-1960s) no one used microphones on guitar amps or drums, so it was unheard of for a bassist to do so. That changes quickly as guitar amps became louder and drummers fought to be heard over the crash. Bass players countered with larger amps but seldom put their wound through the PA. Now it seems that even the smallest bars have house PAs, use microphones on drums & guitars and run DI Line for bass. I'm curious to see what other bassists are doing.
Do you have a small amp and use it primarily as a stage monitor, running a DI to the house? Or are you using a relatively large amp -- 300W or more, with a 4x10 or, 8x10 or other cab?
