Such a simple mod, I’m surprised that manufacturers don’t offer something similar (but then they wouldn’t sell stands I guess) I intend to adapt it too, thank you

That looks like a pretty extreme angle to me. I guess if you mic it up through a PA for a gig it wouldn't matter.
My DIY amp stand angle is a bit of a compromise between my ears and an audience's ears. Folds flat for easy packing and works with all my amps too. Still going strong since 2000.

I was thinking the same thing myself before I did this mod..the amp is quite a bit bigger.Quote:

Does the flap rattle or buzz if you use the amp upright? Or aren't you allowed to play loud enough in the house to really find out?
I'll give it a test tomorrow.Quote:

It would probably be fairly easy to drown out any rattles.
cheers, Mark.
Cheers impala. Not my idea though.Quote:

cheers, Mark.
Is this what would be called a pawn shop in most of North America (generally called a "case de empeño" here in Miami)? I have had many happy moments in such places...Quote:

Even when I spot a bargain, it's worth having a go at 'would you take less'.Quote:

Having said that though, I've certainly seen some items priced way over what you know they are worth.
cheers, Mark.
They still sell the tilt leg kits as aftermarket parts. They're around $100 here in AUS. Talk about "rip-off"!Quote:
