Hows that horizontal dispersion? ha ha... not to mention tweaking your tone for your knees to be COMPLETELY different than what the crowd hears
Just kinda amazing how the industry is so slow to change.
But it looks cool eh? Dont we know better than that by now? Sure hes going through the house so its probably inconsequential but someone out there follows the monkey see, monkey do

| | | | Well right now I'm listening to the Vandals and I have to say... my 810 is staying straight up and down. But I'm sure there's a reason they're doing it that way. I recall Slowdive used some live techniques that involved driving the bass at the floor. |

But that it didn't matter sonically, just visually, because it was all going through the FOH anyway.

| | | Michael Steele of the Bangles often used an SVT cab on its side dating back to the 80's. The mic'ed cab was about the same height as the other amps on the stage. Other bands have done this as well.

Endorsing: Ampeg | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Apopka, FL | | | No pansy Grammy director would ever tell my Grammy nominated band that we'd have to set their gear a certain way for the camera, and neither would Mumford or his sons. The idea of that is ludicrous.
But I really don't care if someone sets their 810 on its side. Whatever.

Just like every other aspect of the music industry, you stand where they tell you to stand, you play what they tell you to play, and you cut your hair like they tell you to cut your hair. That is, unless of course you are really a big shot. But if you are the bass player for just some band who happened to be popular enough this year to be on that stage, you will put your rig however they tell you to. If you're Sting, you tell them where to stick it. If you are (insert name of bass player nobody knows here) you say "Yes sir".
