Hey Guys,
I've enjoyed this club immensely. However, I no longer own a schroeder cab and its not likely I will in the near future. I am about to take possession of my new Epi UL112 stack... I love the wall of sound that I can get with one stacked on the other.
Anyone having a problem with the DuraTuff coating on their cab rattling their amp? I just got my Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 and, when I put it on top of my 1215, noticed it was rattling like crazy until i stuffed a piece of foam under it.![]()

Anyway, PM me if you want to take over the Schroeder Club President position. The only requirement is that you actually own a schroeder cab and intend to continue keep track of the membership numbers.
I wish you all a fond farewell!

I don't think it's the coating, I'm pretty sure it would happen with tolex or tweed, even rat fur. The cab just vibrates like an acoustic instrument's body, albeit a very LOUD instrument. The first time I noticed it I thought my speakers were shot. I had a four-space case on top of my 410L and everything was buzzing. I used a towel that time, but now what I do is fold up the cover I got with the cab into a pad and place it on top of the cab, then put my (now six-space) rack on top. This seems to work quite well. I also make sure all the grill fasteners are tight before a gig. It may take some prep work, but that's the price one pays for a cab so light-weight that one can carry it up a flight of stairs and still have it put out the SPL's needed to hold its' own in a LOUD rock band with no PA support (my situation). And sound really good doing it.Anyone having a problem with the DuraTuff coating on their cab rattling their amp?

Loving my P basses, MarkBass heads and Schroeder 410R. Life is good....
