Basszilla Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Fellow bass brethren. I've got a Matamp 610 cab that weighs as much as the death star, and I've accidentally ripped two of its feet off. I need to stick some heavy duty castors on it which will take the weight and enable me to manoeuvre. It's extremely heavy but also extremely lovely sounding. Can anyone recommend some decent rubber castors to do the job? Ideally with not too large a diameter. Anyone done this mod to a cab and found the sound changes with it up on wheels?

Lozz196 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 These 100mm diameter ones are great, I`ve used them on many a cab, and at £15 well worth it: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4x-100mm-Rubber-Swivel-Caster-Wheels-Castors-Tyres-Trolley-Heavy-Duty-2-w-Brake-/281963387197?hash=item41a653d93d:g:r6AAAOSwsN9XCMIr If you want smaller you can get them from 50mm, then 75mm, just do a search on ebay.

EBS_freak Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I was going to suggest blue wheels too... but if you are concerned about altering the tone, why don't you buy (or make) a wheel board (probably with blue wheels on too!) and use a ratchet strap to attach it to the cab whilst in transit and then you can remove said board once in place? Won't mean any mods to your cab which could impact future resale too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basszilla Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Thanks gents, much appreciated... Yeah a board sounds like a better idea, even though the cab is a keeper. I can just take it off then as you said. Cheers Tim Edited August 25, 2016 by Basszilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Studiospares do a decent wheelboard that isn't expensive. I've got one. Helps a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basszilla Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Thanks Dan, i may just snag one of those. Makes life easier. Thanks again 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deedee Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I picked some of these up from Screwfix and they're great. Smooth running, rubber and they don't rattle my combo to pieces. I think you can get larger sizes too. http://www.screwfix.com/p/rubber-tyres-swivel-50mm-4-pack/86718 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
