I own an Ashdown VS-212 cab, but there was something I didn't like when I got it brand new a year ago. There was too much vibration from the cab to the Ashdown ABM head I had on top. Furthermore, when I connected my ipod through the line-in of my bass head to listen some music, the sound was poor. The mid frequencies were not clear due to some waves cancelations inside the cab.
So I decide to move further and improve this cab by bracing and lining the inside walls (see attached pictures). I used a 3" width of some kind of wood for bracing and 2" of polyester batting (the stuff you find in sleeping bags) for lining.
The improvement was amazing. There is much less vibration and the mid frequencies are much more clear which is very evident when I play music through the cab.
Feel free to experiment with bracing and lining the cab. IMO it offers a real improvement.
