[quote name='rOB' post='997829' date='Oct 23 2010, 08:48 AM']Sorry to revive this thread after so long but I'm wondering how many people actually play through the PA wirhout using an amp for backline? I've never seen it done but had a go in our rehearsal room the other day using a floor pod for amp modeling and went straight to the mixer. Sounded good to my ears, would save hauling an amp to gigs provided there was good stage monitoring. Any thoughts?[/quote] I don't use any backline at all.. bass-j station-di-desk...p.a. and rarely need any monitor fold back(in which case i would be wearing headphones and a drum heavy mix,with a small amount of high frequency bass), probably the reason being that the style of music i play doesn't require high frequencies all the time(Irish trad/slap) and as bass is omnidirectional(i.e. the bass is emitted by both pa speakers and can be heard all over the stage and has no focus point in the mix) the only problems i've encountered would be in playing large halls, where the bass standing waves bounce off the back wall and you get a delay or a big 'humpy note' thats twice as loud as the rest the scale..
