Re: amp open back or closed
A fellow kentuckian. An open back will allow for a more 3D type of sound whereas a closed back will be more focused. As far as the bass is concerned someone else can probably comment a little better on that than me.Speak through your fingers -

Re: amp open back or closed
Yes, with a open back your bass notes won't have the thump or the booming sound.Originally posted by skynyrdlover1Comment

Re: amp open back or closed
try tilting the cabinet up some or lifting it off the groung entirely ... you get a fair amount of bass coupling with the cab flat on the floor (or too close to a wall)
yes, an open back cab will have less bass 'oomph' ...
good luck

Re: amp open back or closed
the low end will also be a bit "looser" sounding in an open back cabinet as well, if you know what i mean.Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus

Re: amp open back or closed
If you turn it into a sort of transmission line then open backs will give you so much more bass that it's ridiculous, not like you'd do that though.Comment
