Hey Guys, I recently borrowed my friend TC RS112 (a great little cab) can anyone recommend rubber feet or rubber pad to raise the cab off the ground a bit? Thanks!

I just put some rack feet, rubber, approx 1,5xo,5 inches from Adam Hall on my RS210 yesterday. Cost the amazing amount of the equivalent to 3 bucks, took 10 minutes to get on, and looks like they were there in the first place
Sure! It's in Danish and from a web-store in Germany, you it probably isn't of any use to you. Without knowing, I guess maybe MF or any store carrying parts for D.I.Y. rack-building will have these in all shapes and sizes. Good luck!

For options you don't have to drill the cab for...
I've also used the Auralex Grammapad, which is really great, as it actually does the mechanical decoupling, which is especially nice on elevated stages. It's pricier than feet or pads (below), but is superb as a complete solution for elevation and tonal benefits. I think these generally run about $50.

I've also used cork pads with rubber mat surfaces, which are cheap. Not much mechanical decoupling for a bass rig, but works great for something that does the job without having to drill holes. Stuff like this:

Less barking, more wagging!
These work surprisingly well, and they're small enough to fit into just about any gig bag:

My first use of bench cookies was in woodworking, where I began to wonder about musical uses; when I discovered that they worked well under my turntable (aka record player), I decided to try them to isolate a tube head from a bass cab.
Then I used 'em to isolate a VL208 from a boomy wooden stage. Also used them successfuly under a stacked 3-way 1x15 + 3-way 2x12 stack weighing ~120 pounds. No problem.
I've also stacked 'em two-high under the front edge of cabs as a tilt-back device.
I use a gramma pad. It seems like I only get to play on hollow wooden stages around here and it is a lifesaver. A pretty good use for $50.
Hi guys, I've been gigging for four months with the RH750, while waiting for my SD800 to come back from the shop - I really enjoy the furry sound for certain styles, but I really miss some attack and kick and full-range clarity in my signal especially when slapping and tapping. I've read a lot about the RMS wattage vs. TC wattage 
, But I'm wondering if that could be the reason or just the whole sound of the amp ? I agree it sounds loud, but it does not feel like a SD800.
I'm thinking of switching to the Mesa M9 ? Any other suggestions ?
My last five amps and considerations
RH750 - Sounds loud, but does not "feel" that loud, too compressed
SD800 - Light, Loud, clean, a bit sterile, not versatile
M6 - Loud, great sound, not versatile enough
EBS TD650 - Versatile, great tone, not loud enough
Ampeg SVT4 Pro - Heavy and not quite loud enough, but great sounding
Hope to hear from you..
Sincerely
JP

SVT7 Pro?
Hi I tried the SVT7 and it was also to furry for me, also the preamp did not seem to have that much headroom, nor the master. Maybe it was broken

Maybe
. I haven't used one myself, but there are some very positive reviews here. I believe that perceived preamp headroom problems are often due to setting the gain too conservatively -- on the SVTs (even the SS ones), the clip light should be lighting pretty consistently.Anyhow, just a thought -- JimmyM is the expert on all things Ampeg. I'm certainly not trying to talk you into anything!

Just a thought- if you're not getting enough volume from the 4 Pro - @ 500 watts a side - maybe the cabs are your problem.

I was thinking the same thing. It is very similar in tone to the 4Pro, definitely lighter, and louder (to my ear, and in the context of driving a single 4-ohm cab).
