Show Your Vertical Stacks

After reading a bunch of opinions about phase issues and other anomalies, I decided to stack my mixed speaker Mesa Diesel cabs.
What a difference! Sounds better everywhere I stand and I can hear myself better than ever.


Any of you guys, or gals try this? Show your stuff.

I know the results don't always look great, but, it's about the sound. Right?

Here are some iterations of my rigs.






I like my 12/6/1's, they can do a wide or narrow vertical stack.

I have to admit that I didn't think changing the direction of 2x10's from horizontal to vertical over a 15" cab wouldn't make a difference. Boy was I wrong.

Thanks to all the guys here who suggested it.

Now you just gotta try two vertically stacked matched 210's or two matched 115's and report back!

I really like the 12/6/1s vertically .

Also, unsure if it was purposeful, but in the bottom pic, the vertical rack case is humorous . Had the other rack case & head been propped up vertically, tongue-in-cheek, that would have been the coup de grace .

I really need to find a smaller, shallow, 4u rack case. That one is huge and on wheels.

Here's my rig and guitars: two six string basses: an ESP LTD B-206SM bass (left), an ESP B-336SR bass (right) sandwiching a Trace Elliot AH500X (dual mono - full range) into a Trace 1048 and a Trace 1528 cab. The effects are a Boss ME-50B and Korg Pitchblack tuner.

It's a Richter Scale thing.

I had a similar stack. I used 2 - Aguilar GS 210's stacked the same way. That stack configuration worked very well.

I bet that stack registers on it too.

Pretty humble compared to some of the others here, but it gets the job done for my needs (plus it's red!)
