and... add a gooseneck for a mic![]()
It is doable like that...WTFook! Are you a pick player or an unusual fingerstyle player?
This is what I'm using, without an extension speaker. I've only used in rehearsals, but so far it works well.I'm REALLY kicking around getting one of these:

Single 12 combo with Tech's SansAmp tone stack feeding the speaker . . . . and an XLR direct out. Drives a second, same size cabinet (my FAVORITE speaker stand !) and meets the weight / dimension targets for me.
Of course, before I'd screw those dreadful tilt-back Fender chrome arms into some poor amp, ya could use something like one of these for a suitably-sized combo:

As most of the current combos with this feature have already been named I thought I’d throw in kick back cabs that aren’t combos. Like the greenboy f112 and the ampeg pn210. Install a couple L brackets so the amp doesn’t slide off the top and you’re good to go. You have a kick back style setup that can be modular (used with other cabs for different situations)I'm wanting to pick up a tilt back combo with a good DI.
I basically need it to be loud enough to make a good stage monitor while the DI is run to FOH.
Several of the little bars I played before Covid would cram everyone into a corner and I was encouraged to just use a DI pedalboard setup.
I hate not being able to hear myself so a tilt back combo might do the trick.
I'm eyeballing a Hartke but I'm not sure how I feel about the line out not having a pre/post EQ button or a level control.
I also saw the Markbass but MB has never really excited me tone wise.
From my searches, the selection seems to be pretty limited when it comes to tilt back combo's.
Pics or it didn't happenI use a home made sound enhancer...now all my combo amps are tilt back.

This is what I’ve used for the past 2+ years.If on a budget, these are great. Pro features all around.

Ghetto? That's high siddity.OK, this is a bit ghetto but it works for me: a solid rubber wedge probably intended to stop automobile wheels from rolling. Works perfectly to tilt my Rumble 500 back to any angle that I want.View attachment 4168797
I use this stand along with my Acoustic tilt-back combo.View attachment 4168423Works for me, many versions available. The tilt is hard to see in the pic, yet it works well.
