I don't know & I don't care what the bass is doing, what the rhythm guitar is doing or what the lead guitar is doing (insofar as a monitor signal for me). They can take care of themselves!
I want my keys LOUD(louder than they should be, but the stage sounds empty to me if they're not), and only my vocal, and my acoustic guitar). Only IF we're on a big stage will I add the other guitar player's guitar and vocal.....and occasionally snare.
I agree with cueing off the drummer. To hell with the bass player. If you wanna lock, you go to the source!!!(I have a kickass drummer! Feel, out the ying-yang).
