I've done both but kept my backline gear and was eventually bullied into using backline again by the rest of the band who use in ears but still use backline and an acoustic kit. I have to say that using in ears and a preamp pedal instead of backline was a revelation, not just for the amazing sound quality of the bass but also it helped my singing, protected my ears and stopped me playing my bass really hard just to be able to hear it. I would say that it's a bit isolating using in ears and no backline and I think my ideal scenario would be to use backline but just played at sensible volume with the PA doing all of the work out front. Sadly that the rarely happens in a rock covers bands with 2 guitarists! 😭

Hi everyone, I have an Ashdown 1x15 neo cab that I'm using with an Ashdown ABM 500 head. It has a buzz at a certain frequency when played at gig volume. I'm guessing it's not the speaker as I can stop the buzzing by pressing on the grille with my foot. I've checked all of the screws holding the grille in place and they are all nice and tight. Other than removing the grille, I'm not sure what next step might be. Has anyone had this issue before and how did they manage to fix it? Cheers
