I am in love again!

I have been tweaking my Mark V for the past 3 weeks and I do believe I finally have my sound. In practice last night, i laid my 2x12 vert cab on its side on some foam and oh dear lord, it was incredible. All the guys in the band were floored by the improvement the tweaking and laying it off the casters provided. I actually finally just sat there and enjoyed playing my amp and not tweaking.

On another note I am totally pumped, I am swapping out my Duncan 59 and Custom in my MJ Engineering Mirage Custom for the Dimarzio Liquifire and Crunch Lab. And I can only imagine the tonal possibilities that I am going to encounter from here on out. 8)

Casters suck bass response out of your cab for sure.

The CL/LF pickups are awesome. I have a set in my JP6 and love them.

Glad you found your tone!

a question to you guys though (i think i asked this somwhere else): in a live situation i suppose you all use casters since its easier to transport this way and you are micing the cabinet right?

I mean you only gain the better bass response in a practise room when you are only listening to the cab and not the sound coming from the PA.

I also have never tried a cab without the casters cause i had a problem with the bass frequencies being too loud in the last rehearsal room i practised in with the band, but i guess its because it was not treated, and with parallel walls (about 30 meters square). Hopefully with the new rig (mark V) anf the next rehearsal room if i dont have this issue i will try without the casters (having 2 4X12's will make it easier to A/B as well)

The casters on my cabinets have a quick release button, it's very easy to lean it over.. remove the wheels and tip it back up. Takes about a minute.

Do you still do it on a gig when the cab is miced though?

Thanks

I have been trying to find thumping bass on this Mark V for months, and I'm thinking the casters may be the problem. Everything else I've had has always touched the floor and the bass slammed you in the chest like a ton of bricks and stopped on a dime.

Do you guys think that leaving my cab vertical, but placing something under it to "connect" it to the floor would help any?
