Low E Rattle

[Jefrey Kmak]

Just to be sure, try a different bass through the rig.

It does it with any of my basses.

I was suspecting that, but was hoping that was not the case. I'd rather not have to buy more speakers.

It’s not about buying more speakers, it’s about buying more appropriate speakers

And for heaven’s sake make sure the girl cover is tight….

“girl cover”
This made me giggle.
Back on subject. Some times baffle boards or bass ports come loose and can create a rattle in the cab.

Yes, but it's STILL about buying more speakers.

So does the rattle go away if you roll off lows? That’s worth knowing because if so it makes suggests that the speakers are hitting xmax.

If the rattle is still there the hunt for a loose bit o hardware still has potential value

Try sitting on the cab and playing. Your body weight on the cab could tighten up the cab and reduce the rattle.

You know I don't know. I'm going to go over the whole thing again. inside and out.

Astute, I have had more than one used cab with a failed panel glue joint with sympathetic rattle noticeable more at lower played note.
