Am I missing out not owning a straight 4-12??

There's a few videos or clips around I remember watching a while back, but don't remember exactly what they are. Foam seems to cut down on some of the lower frequency resonances. It makes the cab sound more clinical and controlled but at the expense of some warmth, if I remember right.

Depending on the guitar tone, less or no foam could help give some extra body to a thinner tone, while more foam could de-mud a slightly more bloated tone.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, again it's been awhile since I've looked into it.

Foam raises the cab’s resonant frequency into unfavourable areas.

We could all go insane pondering options..lol
A straight 412 is my best bet. I can put my 6 space rack on it and not worry about the whole thing tipping. Plus I can complete the "Stack of Doom" with my other 1960a and the JCM 800 I have..

Probably, but do remove the wheels, or you might get a nasty surprise.

Way Back . . . . . many many, many moons agao . . . . . In our line of work . . . 1960 B Cabs were a requirement not an option.

As I started building (smaller ; ) more recording based rigs , I still always found a 1960 B had something I couldn't get anywere else. Where else could you get a stereo dry cab for the center of a W/D/W rig?

PS: I was able to solve the issue with ground contact with milk crates.

They actually sounded damn good too for the price!

Nice to see someone sensibly putting the hot power amps at the top, where they belong.
