For the band I am in, our bass player uses an amp but uses the balanced (XLR) direct out from the amp to the board. I -- with my Marshalls -- mike my amps, if the venue calls for it. Some places are too small and don't need it. And I will also contend that if the guitarist using a 100 watt Marshall is more powerful than the PA, he's got no business playing a full stack onstage. For most gigs I've found a 50 watt combo (also Marshall) to be more than adequate...
