T-Bay Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 We have a gig coming up but we will be setting up on a sprung floor. Luckily we had a chance to use it as a practice room so got a chance to try it out. It sounds awful, the bass just becomes a mush, presumably because of movement in the floor. Does anyone have any experience or tips to improve things at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Gamma pad I believe they go under the cabs and help in situations like this never used one myself though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Just googled it and luckily I use something very similar at work so will cut a square of it and give it a go, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev b Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I used to play in a few ballroom/dance halls with sprung floors, some had the bandstand built directly onto the sprung floor. When the crowd started to dance, the spring reverb unit in my amp would crash and clang like crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 That's the sort of thing, tbh I hadn't thought of what will happen when 150-200 odd people are in there! Will be an interesting one........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzbass Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 get your amp a foot off the floor to decouple it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 we play a pub with the same problem, especially with the sub. We moved the sub off the wooden stage and placed it on the concrete/carpet one next to the stage, maybe something similar could be done with your cab? Don't know what your monitoring situation is like though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The aforementioned Gramma Pad will do the job for you. Very simple, very effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
