[QUOTE="Carl Klinkenborg, post: 213983, member: 12770"] The purpose of a stage monitor - often just for the singer in a small band - is usually to hear other members, not oneself. If you can hear what you need of the rest of the band ok over your backline, or don't need (or want!) to hear them, you don't need one, so save your money for strings/beer/other bassy things! Discuss with the other band members if they think you need a monitor, and why - it might be useful to get their reasoning, if it's them suggesting it. (I have perhaps been a little presumptuous in that you are not playing stadium gigs where personal monitoring becomes standard to all band members; apologies if you are in the midst of planning such a gig, in which case I'm way out of my depth...).
