Amp Stand for Cabinet and Head?

MAB2891 · October 15th, 2006, 10:23 PM

I'm hoping someone can help me to find the right amp stand. I use a Rivera 55W head and a Mesa 2x12 Rectifier cabinet for live work. However, I can't hear myself and I need to angle the sound up a bit to be heard in the back. None of the amp stands I have seen on line take into account a separate head. If I were to put the cabinet in a tilted stand, the head would potentially slide off. I remember seeing a long time ago in Guitar Player Magazine a stand that was two tiered, with a spot for the cabinte that would tilt it and a flat tier along the top for a head. Anybody know where I can find such a stand? My alternative may simply be bringing a big milk crate to the gig (which I'm happy to do) but wanted to explore this option. Any help would be appreciated. My email is mbogdono@yahoo.com Thanks.

I think you can get fenders piggyback hardware seperate, which would hold the head to the cab. Only works if the cab is bigger than the head though.

I have seen people use a road case to elevate 2x12 rigs. This way you're not just getting an extra stand to haul around.
