Members poolshark Posted February 6, 2013 Members Share Posted February 6, 2013 Ran into an interesting problem the other day; I know you guys are a loud bunch, so I figure somebody here has to understand. Anyway, breaking in a new head/2x12 pair on stage, I noticed the head moves around a fair bit. I like a loud, bass-heavy tone from that setup, so it's expected that the cab - Avatar 2x12, Eminence Commonwealths, stood on its side - will probably vibrate some. That said, I don't want to risk knocking the head onto the floor. My thoughts thus far: Sitting the head on the floor is an option, but it'd be nice to leave it atop the cab if possible. Turning down the volume and/or bass are not so much options. I guess I'm just hoping somebody can link me to some vibration-absorbing miracle feet to install on the head and cab. Thoughts?

Members iwillfightu Posted February 6, 2013 Members Share Posted February 6, 2013 A lot of cabs I've used have rubber built in on top, does the avatar not? In any case a rubber sheet or similar might be worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted February 6, 2013 Members Share Posted February 6, 2013 try not standing the cab on its side. you may still be able to get the projection you need without the excessive vibrations not being absorbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MesaMonster Posted February 6, 2013 Members Share Posted February 6, 2013 10p nails through the head into the cab should hold it nicely in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dudeman1967 Posted February 6, 2013 Members Share Posted February 6, 2013 Turn it down! Try a bit of foam. The silicone foam sheets are a good idea also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve2112 Posted February 7, 2013 Members Share Posted February 7, 2013 I suggest that you...er....have sex? on your cab. Make it a little sticky. Spill some drinks, do some lines. Your amp will sit just fine on the cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
