No bass roll-off.

Are you talking about the "Bass Roll-Off Switch"?

Yep!

I think the bass roll-off is mostly used to combat the poximity
effect of close micing vocals.

When I've recorded guitars with it - I didn't roll any off.

Ditto! No bass roll off!
Roll is more for up close speech application.

How far away should the mic be with a greenback or v30? Anyone have pictures of cabs micd with a 421?

Here's a great thread showing all sorts of mic setups, including some by some famous producer/engineers in there. I'm sure there's plenty of 421s in there.
