jonnythenotes Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 It's the Ashdown ABM Neo 4x8 so there is no raised handle on the top....just a counter sunk handle that is flush with the enclosure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Badderer Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 why are handles on cabs always in the wrong place?? if someone's not careful they're gonna smack themselves in the shin!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Tacky dashboard mats are good. I use one because I like to have my cab at an angle. I've got a Fusion, I just unscrewed the feet so there's more contact with the pad, [i]et violin![/i] I can have the cab at quite crazy angles without the amp going anywhere.

cameltoe Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Poundland - non slip mat. £1!! Does the job. My bass terror has fallen off my cab more times than I care to remember when I haven't used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 buy a fender rumble rig - the amp is kept in place on the cab with magnets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I had something similar with my Genz Benz Shuttle... the feet were hard plastic and did not grip at all. I sorted it by replacing the feet with nice rubber grippy ones. No issues since, no extra bits to carry around. The head is light but it will not vibrate off my cabs no matter how loud I play.

steve-bbb Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) spill some sugary lemonade or coke or similar drink on top and wait for it to dry you could do one large spill over the entire top surface or you could save some fizzy pop by just doing four smaller spills directly under where the rubber feet of the amp will sit hope this helps Edited April 25, 2015 by steve-bbb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'feet' are in fact doorstops from Wilko, which can be cut down a bit if necessary, but they're not very grippy. If anyone knows a source of large grippy rubber feet, please do share.

grenadilla Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 This would not look cool but you could use an old shoelace (I save the rawhide laces from 'boat shoes'). Loop it over the front of the amp and secure it to the recessed bar handle at the rear of your Ashdown 4/8 cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Maybe try that non-slip stuff for rugs, or if you have a handle on top of the cab, then you can get long velcro things that you could put around the amp and under the handle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Put the cab on top of the amp. I use a piece of rubber mat that is sold as a non-slip mat for drummers to stick under pedals and hi-hats. Works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 For years I've use foam under all my amps. I started in valve amp days as a way to protect the valves. But if your amp is vibrating off the cab I'd suggest you should change the cab. Those vibrations are wasted tone. The cab should be rigid and all the movement, the speaker cone, should only be pushing air and your wonderful tone and volume out of the front of the cab, not moving the walls of the cab around. As I say, your inefficient cab is wasting your tone and volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
