I found this thread very interesting, particularly since my band is
coming together and I assumed we'd need the full powered
mixer, backline and monitors. I was heartened by Dave
Wronski's input and will be eager to try our stage setup in the
way he prescribed. I like the idea of a simplified system...after
all, the early surf bands had nothing but their amps in the
backline and maybe a microphone and p.a. to announce the
songs.
Question: can you get an acceptable volume and balance with
just the instruments and amps (i.e. an 85 watt Fender or two,
100 watt bass amp, and drums?) For an average club, how
much power do you need for a power mixer and speakers? Can
a band do away with a sound man?
Very curious.
