Question about cabs[views:5435][posts:10]________________________________ [Apr 1,2007 11:31am - Jr5spd ""] What do some bands turn their cabs sideways? Whats the benefit to this? |
| __________________________________ [Apr 1,2007 11:33am - Aegathis ""] when guitarists have two slanted cabs thats like the only way you can stack them |
| ________________________________ [Apr 1,2007 11:40am - Jr5spd ""] well i see bands like the Network, or Jonah veil with a half stack but the cab is slanted. Slanted as in turned sideways. 90 degree's Any idea why? |
| __________________________________ [Apr 1,2007 11:44am - sinistas ""] if the cab is on casters, having it sideways allows it to resonate more since the wood is touching the ground. |

| __________________________________ [Apr 1,2007 11:48am - powerkok ""] easier to move, yes. But thats not why theyre there. Casters lift the cab off the ground, for LESS resonation, and more projection. Also, if your cab touches the ground, you greatly alter your bass response. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 1,2007 11:50am - sinistas ""] yeah, agreed. which is the reason said bands do this. |
