Amp/Speaker Stands

**iriegnome** · #1 03-27-2010, 08:54 AM

I have been looking into these for a couple of days now and since my area music stores do not stock them, I need some advice. I need my amp to point upwards (of course) and I need the stand to hold my SWR Golliath Jr and my 4 space rack. Total of about 60 or so pounds. The top of the stand is going to have to be able to have enough height to hold the rack on top of the 2x10 cab.
Any suggestions would be great.

I doubt you are going to find a stand where the back supports are going to be that tall. There are amp stands that tilt back, and the upright supports are tall enough to support the cab, but, unless you can somehow add extensions to them, won't go high enough to the amp head. There are different ways to keep the head from falling off, or vibrating off, velcro strips being one solution, but I have yet to see a stand with tall back supports, but, I could be wrong.

I was consideing some sort of bracket or something on the cabinet to hold onto the rack. Other than that, I could just set the rack next to the cabinet as well.

Try one of the metal versions of these; I use one and it works great and is inexpensive.

This works perfectly for me. Gets my amp and cab high enough to easily hear 'em and is reasonably priced, solid as a rock and not too heavy at all.

If I read the initial thread correctly, he wants the stand to tilt upwards.

I know but I figure this is worth a look since it can elevate the cab to near ear level.

+1 on that, I own one too. My only gripe with it is that I wish I could set it a tad lower than it goes( 24" ). It's ok with a small to medium cab, but too tall for , say, a 212 vertical cab, once you get the amp on top. Sturdy as hell, though.
