Bassman Steve Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Ok, I've overcome my fear that a Bass 400+ would squash a Barefaced cab and have invested in a Compact. The question is, can it be used on its side? The old site suggested not but then it's half an old Super 15 isn't it? That's orientated 'landscape'.

chris_b Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 There's only 1 speaker so I guess it's good either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomBass Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Well ive used mine both ways, and it works equally well either way. I had a wide Ashdown Klystron head that looked silly perched atop an upright Compact, but was perfect when the cab was on its side. Soundwise there was absolutely no difference. For a while I had 2 compacts. Both on their side with the Ashdown on top was a fabulous sight and a thunderous sound. Ive just sold my Compact though Ahem.

Bassman Steve Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Actually the handle prevents completely stable portrait stacking but I may replace one set of feet with longer ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
