Rob, if you think isolation may provide an improvement for Gumby, something you can try that is very inexpensive is to get a small-diameter bicycle inner tube, like those used for kids bicycles. Inflate it just enough to support Gumby off the shelf and have a listen. The best improvements I've heard for components that benefit from isolation is simply to put a partially inflated inner tube under a component.
