PAUL!! I’ve seen this one before. You have to make a cardboard (or
Masonite) bottom for the tank…borrow a friend’s Fender and take a
peek inside the bag to see what it should look like. What is happening
is that when you shove the tank into the bag, the fabric is bunching up
against the springs, knocking out the tank’s ability to do its thing.
Making a bottom for the tank will stop this from happening.

While you’re at it – I cover the top side of the cardboard with a layer of
heavy aluminum foil, stick the pan to the bottom with a couple of pieces of
thick double sided foam tape, and connect the foil to the pan’s shell with
a piece of wire. This keeps the pan from sliding around & isolates it
somewhat from floor vibration. Not sure if the shielding really matters –
read somewhere that the coils are humbucking? – but it can’t hurt! 🙂
