I'm interested to know how many of you playing small venues (typical pub etc) mic up your guitars and basses through the PA. I coming from a sound quality perspective rather than volume.

Hey, I like this topic!!! Anyway, I'm in need of a smaller rig for some venues as I'm currently using a Mesa Triple Rec for everything. Alot of times I go ahead and mic my cab so the drummer can hear a bit of guitar through his monitor. It helps him remember where we are in songs and what not. I add very little (if any) to the FOH for obvious reasons.

One of the goals we have is to play at a reasonable volume at our shows, which many bands don't seem to realize. I love it loud myself, but PO'ed club owners won't re-book you if you're not within reason. A 90 dB level should be a target goal out front.
