drawback Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 The first time I"d heard of this kind of stage prop was an interview with Paul McCartney back when Wings was touring. Apparently they toured with a semi full of empty Marshall stacks. Quote ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboyNQ Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 One of the guitarists I tour with uses dual Marshall cabs. I WISH he used the ones in the photo - be better for my back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docbop Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 This one is one of my favorite the fakes aren't even full depth and include fake amp head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxcvbnm098 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 This one is one of my favorite the fakes aren't even full depth and include fake amp head. That one is even more appalling. You'd really have to set those things up before they opened the gates, AND be the headliner. Imagine being the opening act and the have the road crew move them off when everyone can see they're fake? Hilarity ensues.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnector Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 They could at least put a thin piece of plywood or hardboard on the back to make it more convincing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docbop Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 They could at least put a thin piece of plywood or hardboard on the back to make it more convincing. Speaking as a former roadie why add the weight. The audience knows walls of gear are empty cabinets or fakes and just part of the show. Plus audience is stoned, drunk, or wrapped up in the excitement of the concert and that's all that matters. People say they are there for the music, but they end up being pulling into the energy of the audience and just enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABECK Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Then there was that period of time in the 80s where they wanted to HIDE real cabinets in favor of lots of room to run about. So what's next, stages that have hidden fake cabs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what's next, stages that have hidden fake cabs? From working with the Stones management back when they did that hiding the amps building a ramp over the amps for Mick to dance on. That little bit of thin material that covered the amps created enough back pressure they were constantly blowing speakers. They ran thru all the spare speakers and became an emergency. The Stones called JBL to get a couple pallets of speakers sent to them ontour. Being the Stones they used their $$$ power to get a load of passenger luggage bumped off a flight to fly the speakers to them. Some frustrated tourists would even more upset if they knew their luggage was late because of the Stones. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboyNQ Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I used to gig with a knuckle-headed bassist who would take 2 insanely heavy cabs on stage because he thought it looked cool, despite the fact soundy was taking a line out of the amp head. Used to drive sound engineers insane because he was way too loud on stage. We had to have an intervention with him and get him to actually use the volume knob. At one gig we were struggling for on-stage real estate and he suggested one of the other band members stand BEHIND his superfluous cabs. I had to explain to him that the audience would likely prefer to see the saxophonist than stare at 8 speaker cones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Emm Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I'm showing my age in saying that I'd love to have heard Nash the Slash play this song his way. The giant fake amp stack would be superfluous. If you remember him too, welcome to the Bursitis Brigade.

KuruPrionz Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I built a gigantic old school Heathkit stereo power amp many years ago. They rated it at 400 watts RMS per channel at 4 ohms. One day at practice 3 foot high flames came belching forth mightily. It was very quiet and we all smelled the yellow smoke. The End.
