Amp vibtrates off of the speaker

I made a little "nest" for my EA Doubler (<4 lbs) out of rubber cabinet feet. Now I can even tilt my cab back & it's stable.

 

I take the wheels off the back of my cab so it slants, and the head sits on top.

I use that anti-skid material, soft bubbly kind of stuff that comes in rolls, usually 12/14 inches wide, and NOTHING slides on that stuff.

 

Pillow

Great to keep tubes from vibrating in old school heads too.

 

Buy some of that rubber-like stuff you line shelves with...looks like a mesh...thats what I use and its great.

 

A bassist I used to know had one of those old monster Acoustics (360?) with the 18" speaker cab, he used a 2" thick foam rubber pad.

 

It's funny this thread should pop up - I had a gig this Saturday at an outdoor festival thing, and the sound guy (who was also playing later that day) wanted me to use his Ampeg 810 with my head, to avoid moving the fridge any more than necessary.

I took one look at the top of the Tolex'd cab, and this is the result:

(Note the LMT800 on the ground to the right of the 810)

 

If your head is sliding off your cab, get a more efficient cab that doesn't waste energy vibrating.

Or you could do all the above suggestions, probably much cheaper that way.

 

I've noticed this same thing happening to my Shuttle since moving up to an SVT410HLF. I keep my tuner pedal on there (using the tuner out on the Shuttle), but you may wish to use a wallet or your cold beverage of choice (yes, yes, bass responsibly - if you're getting enough vibe off the cab that a drink on it could spill, maybe you're better off just keeping the head on the floor.)

 

you didn't see your ex-girlfriend push it off then?

 

+1. Different rig, but I also use a 2" foam rubber pad. Nothing rattles or buzzes, nothing moves around and it's GOTTA be better for the vacuum tubes, right?

 

Just get a bit of Blu Tack and stick a tiny ball of it to the bottom of each foot of the amp.

 

velcro strips?

 

I had drummer trip on a cord and pull it off. Got new drummer.

 

+1, I have the same issue with my GK MB500, great sounding head btw.

 

+1, probably the easiest way to fix this problem.
