steviebk Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 With all the new small Class D lightweight amplification has anyone a solution to the vibrations, as my Tone Hammer 500 is moving around on top of my Berg AE10s, any ideas with anti slip / rubber mat etc, or similar solutions, don't really want to modify the cabs either, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Shops that sell campervans and the like will have rolls of a soft rubber mat material. These mats are normally used in the cupboards and drawers, but also on tables and other hard surfaces. This stuff is not only fantastic, but can also easily be cut in the right dimensions. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I know what you mean about vibrations - at one gig the sound guy had used a DI box for the bass and during the gig it had vibrated off the top of my rig and fell down the side. The sound guy asked me in a somewhat accusatory tone where it was, but thankfully we found it and he was somewhat sheepish and apologetic after that. I didn't mind because he'd done a sterling job of the sound that night, clear as a bell on stage and the crowd were dancing about like maniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviebk Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Thanks guys I think Berts recommendation may be the answer as I don't really want to start sticking things to other things, it all gets a bit tacky !! :-) Appreciate the replies though, keep rockin :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyonbass Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/multi-purpose-non-slip-mat-217606"]This stuff[/url] will do the trick. Probably got some down your local £ shop if you want it cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably got some down your local £ shop if you want it cheaper [/quote] Yup, that's the stuff. However, do not buy from the £ shop unless you know what you're doing. Normally, non-slip mats found at £ shops are a lot stiffer and less soft in their material. One can feel the difference easily when one has both to compare. Life expectancy is also lower, as these will more readily tear up. best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Vader Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I use the foam from the bottom of the silver camera box thingy that I keep the head in. it also keeps the amp happy inside the box. Works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
