Your soundman would probably kiss your feet! LOL

But you will still need to have a monitor so you can hear what you're doing. It's a bit like negotiated arms reduction: all the players use great-sounding small amps, which are mic'ed or DI'd into the soundboard, and the drummer trades his baseball bats for pencils. :cool:

If you're looking to join a band that is already up-and-running, that's going to be a hard sell. :p
