ubit Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) [quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1427804483' post='2734399'] Not necessarily, since the midrange and high frequency pattern is cone shaped. The picture below shows +/- 30 degree dispersion, which is about average in the upper mids from a bass cab. In the upper frame the cab flat on the floor puts the audience within the dispersion pattern, but not the player. In the lower frame with the cab tilted both the audience and player are within the dispersion pattern. The issue with lifting the cab is that if you lift a small cab high enough off the floor to hear the mids at close range you will lose boundary reinforcement in the midbass. That can be beneficial, if the room is boomy, as that will reduce the output in the boom frequencies. But in a dead room you may not want that reduction in the midbass. If you want to be ready for any contingency have the ability to either tilt or lift the cab to suit the room. [/quote] Thank you for enlightening me. It seems the cone of pleasure is all encompassing! The girl in the diagram however ( or young long haired lout) , doesn't seem so convinced . Her body languge suggests she is quite apathetic about the sound and is ready to leave, no matter what you do !

mcnach Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Well, I went and got myself one of those Stagg stands too for my little MarkBass combo. Excellent. It makes the little beast even better as a stage monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I just ordered one for my Compact, looking forward to hearing what difference this makes. One of our rehearsal rooms allows me to put the compact up on a shelf and it sounds damn good there..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one and it wouldn't work with any of my cabs. Resorted to a MarkStand. [/quote] Thanks for posting that illustration Bill PS. BassBunny - where did you get your Markstand? I took a look at a Stagg stand, but it didn't work with my PJ 4x5 cab - as the cab was too big, depth-wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudi8 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 i got the stand with my amp and its good especially live in small venues , i think its possible to order them separately at www.public-peace.de Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 How much adjustment is in one of those stagg stag thingies? I have a TC250-12, which is a lot deeper than that cab, and was wondering if it would still be stable on a stand with a smallish angle - it is hard to work out what it is like just from the pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
