Subject:Re: Console VS Clone footprint

Hi Everyone,

Should I mention factors that discourage use of Hammond or Leslies on stage I'd list these:

1. Expensive airfreight . A chopped console or spinet would solve part of the equation but not totally
2. Lack of roadies or friends that can help or meet our agenda.
3. If equipment rest on our own hands and arms we should to remember that as an average the group list members that are over age 50 and isn't rare that OP ( osteoarthritis) costochondritis (btw easy to be disguised as heart disease)  etc. already can have diagnosed and worsen when doing muscle efforts beyond limits.
 

Nevertheless agree that volumetric factor shouldn't be a factor  more when seeing guitar/bass amp with a stack of  4x12" cabs on stage.

Just my 2 cents.

Console VS Clone footprint

Hi Fox,

I would tend to agree with your logic but I recently ran into a few
situations where the few inches between a console and a clone made a
difference. Some stages have permanent drum risers so large as to leave
very little space on the front of the stage remaining but not room
enough to set up on the riser with the drummer. The actual footprint of
an X stand is much smaller than a console so it can be squeezed into
tighter spaces.

Cheers,
Rock
