earplugs?

It looks like I may have to. I really hate playing with plugs, but
I'm sure I've f****d up my hearing a bit. Probably time to start
plugging before I"m totally screwed. I really hate them, though. When
the sound is muffled, I have less to reacte to. Therefore, it seems
like my energy is contrived and harder to work for than usual.

The best thing to do is set the stage up better. If your amps and monitors
are set up so that they are pointing at your ears, then you can turn down a
bit and everyone can hear better and clearer. Combos can be put on stands
which raise and angle. Marshall cabs can be mounted on top of a dummy cab
to raise to ear level.

Don't put any guitar or bass through the monitors, thats what your amps are
for.
