Problems w/ Caster wheels on 4x12 cabs

[Little B]

I absolutely am in LOVE with my Diezel 2x12s and 4x12s!....Wouldnt trade em in for any other cab,BUT, I was wondering after buying 8 cabs(and selling the wife, kids, and dog to get them), why the casters are inferior to other cabs on the market these days?????...When I take this rig out on the road, my techs have commented how they sometimes just dont wheel straight ahead, and are tough to push on solid ground? ( but I sure do love them anyways!)

Where did You order the casters ?

The casters for all 8 cabs I own came w/ the cabs.Theyre stock factory wheels as far as I know..They generally wheel fine, but sometimes they dont seem to want to push straight ahead...no complaints though....These cabs,(rear loads & front loads) are some of the best made cabinents Ive ever gigged with..No matter what amp head a client or fellow musician puts through those cabs, it improves the tone compared to other cabs!

I know this probably doesn’t help, but if it's that much of a pain you could either get larger casters like the ones that come with all Table cabs, uh, I mean Mesa cabs. Or you could use a Dolly to move your cabs around when on the road. They run about $16.

I always take my casters off when playing out because it adds a bit more bottom-end-oomph to the already devastating OOMPH of Herbert!

Tell your techs to suck it up & carry them...thats what they get paid for!! Roadcases are the true answer to your problems. I push mine thru mud & snow...they are like Bigfoot @ The 4 Wheel Jamboree!!
