No mic'ing on this gig, Caev. The bar we played is small enough that there was no need to mic anything other than the vocals. We didn't even use monitors and were just fine. We used a small board & powered monitors on stands for our PA and it worked perfectly. I didn't even have to turn up too loud and I carried just fine. I've been using one of those small amp stands that tilts the amp back and it helps alot in projection. My brother used his Jet City JC20 and was just fine with no mic too. The only thing different that we did was to use a combo bass amp to mic the bass drum. Something as simple as that made such a big difference in overal sound.

It was our bass player's idea and it worked like a champ!
