After having watched the Quebe Sisters Band now, for several months, I've been quite impressed by the way the band it set-up.

Having the bass and rhythm guitar player, possibly along with a drummer with brushes on a snare..... located directly behind you, working as a close-knit group rather than as individual/performers would be the ideal arrangement.

What has been your own experience or preferred set-up?

Love the low volume Bill. It really tests the band, especially the drummer. But.......... no guitar? I think i gotta have a guitar, probably not electric all night but certainly a good acoustic

Well that's the way Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash all started out.
