Guest MoJo Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 My MB800 goes wandering at gigs due to its light weight and the vibrations from the Schroeder. How do other D class users get round this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyfisher Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Haven't noticed a problem with my BH250 on top of my RS212 cab. Could be because I've got a short but thick OBBM speaker cable connecting the two items. I also loop my bass cable through the cab handle before pluggin into the amp, so it's held pretty firmly in place. I guess it might move about a little, but it certainly isn't going to fall off the cab when held in this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len_derby Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I have a LMIII which sits atop my Barefaced BigOne. A small off-cut of carpet (shag pile of course) under the amp seems to do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenYork Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 As with most bass players I know, I usually have the PA desk on top of my amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Some foam? If the amp is wandering it means the cab is vibrating, that means you're loosing tone. Time to get a better cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also find it useful for 'gluing' my phone to the dashboard of my car at an unlikely angle for sat-nav duties. When I had a motorbike I used it under my panniers on the back seat to stop my luggage moving about. Also got some under my keyboard to stop it moving when I type... you get the idea.

Guest MoJo Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 [quote name='gjones' timestamp='1379108698' post='2208897'] Turn down!!!! [/quote] Probably a big part of the problem. One of the guitarists and the singer in the band think volume is where it's at. I do think rock music should have balls but it's more about the tone than volume IMHO. Another issue is the coating Jorg has put on this cab. It look like a stippled effect but it's quite smooth with little surface resistance. Finally the non-original feet I have on the amp are more hard plastic than rubber so, little grip there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duffer1 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Anyone tried bluetack? Large dobs of it seem to sort most of my problems - but - only if you keep it fresh by pulling it apart to restore the sticky. All the vibration can't be doing your amp any good long term - creating dry joints on the circuit board?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MB800 is a seriously powerful amp and the Schroeder a very efficient and loud cab. The air coming from the bass port physically makes my trouser legs move. We're talking Motorhead loud here. The vibrations were produced by the sound waves resonating through the wooden stage making everything vibrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I still think you should be looking at foam. If the amp is moving around as much as that you really should be protecting it from the excessive vibration rather than just stopping it from moving.
