Kevin Dean Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 as I put my PA mixer on top of my rig , I'm thinking of putting the whole rig on a dolly as this would make it easier to leads if requires on tight stages ,as it would be raised by 2" would this effect the tone ? I've been told that it wouldn't ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicbassman Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Well, we've all experienced the dreaded 'hollow stage' effect where the whole of an insubstantially built stage is acting as a giant resonating soundbox for the bass and sending out all sorts of false information to your ears about tone, volume and harmonics. Some bass players might claim that putting castors on your cab (i.e. the same as a dolly) can really exaggerate this unfortunate effect. Personally I don't think this alone would make much difference, but other BC'ers may have different opinions. Discuss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I've experimented (in a very unscientific way) with having my GK Neo 410 both directly on the stage and also leaving it in the base of it's flight case i.e. on castors. Don't know if it's because I've had years of doing it but I always prefer the sound of it not on wheels. Of course , different stages can affect this massively, but I do like that resonance for some reason. Auralex & other isolation products / cabinet stands etc do have a lot of love on here though, so I may be in the minority on this one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
