My cab is not carpeted so the Markbass wedge is a no goer :0(

I'm in two bands. As a GUITARIST I play for this band: www.myspace.com/redglory1 Demo was recorded 4 yrs ago so ignore the crappy attempt at basslines, we now have a decent bass player! As a BASS PLAYER, I've just joined a 6 piece band called 'The Sofa Racers' but as yet no music on myspace.

Ah....I don't have the 1212L cab which has an angled speaker. Mine is the BMF series.

I was a bit concerned about placing the cab on an actual stand because surely it'll lose some bottom end will it not? My cab hasn't got castors either. My schroeder is loud enough but I'd prefer it at a tilt so the sound projects better towards my ears. Having looked at the Markbass wedge, I'm not sure it would work with my cab as from what I can gather it velcors onto the cab. Correct me if I'm wrong. Any thoughts?

I'm thinking about tilting my 1212 schroeder cab by using a wedge. Wanted to know if anyone has experience with one of these or where to buy one. I notice Markbass do one. Suggestions?

Having tried the same amp through Eden cabs I came to the conclusion that Ashdown exaggerate the output of their amps. Buy a 4 ohm Schroeder BMF 1212 cab....so light you can pick it up with one hand but handles 1000w. That's what I've got. No point in humping huge great stacks around unless you're planning on playing huge venues in which case will require you to go through the PA anyway. THE SPEAKERS ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR SET UP!

Although my band do get paid, I play because I enjoy it. If I hated the type of material, I'd find a band that was doing stuff I like. Having said that I don't think I've been in one band where there isn't at least one song I particularly dislike or find a bit boring. But I suppose there was the odd song I chose that another bandmate didn't care much for. I notice a few people have a distaste for blues. Me too but I agree that you do learn from playing different genres so have been willing to do the occasional number with bands I've been in.
