All of this raises some questions for me. The lowest bass note
wavelengths are 30-ish feet long. Not sure about the length for notes
on the upper half of the A & D strings, but I suspect it's longer
than 8", the distance from the mike to the speaker cones. So, what is
gained by sticking a mike there? Pick up the sound of the finger
attack?

Correct me if I am wrong, but the wavelength has no implication when
micing. Following your logic, the mic capsule bing only 1/4 inch in
diameter, it would only pick very high frequecies. Thats wrong. A mic
is reacting to air pressure changes.
A good mic will pick all the audible frequencies.


And yet, my sound *is* different when, during sounds checks, I walk off the
stage to the back of a club. Granted, some of this is due to the room
itself. But still....




It still raises a question for me: why does the guy even have an amp
onstage if everybody has IEM? Doesn't IEM meant to carry less stuff?

I wondered that, too, but decided to keep the initial post a simple one. I
explain it to myself thusly:

1) Although I own some very nice headphones, and they produce an excellent
illusion of bass, there's no way they could do this at a volume level that
would compete with a drum set 5 feet away, unless I turned them up so loud
that they'd make my ears bleed. It's physically impossible for in-ear
monitors to be THAT different.

so...

2) Have an amp on stage.
