Question: Which amp stand to buy for LSS and LSC

[GeoBull]

I have both Lone Stars. I have been putting them on the floor at some gigs and this doesn't work out well. I'm not hearing things right. What stand does anybody recommend? Critieria:

-Adjustable enough to get the amp into a good position
-Sturdy enough to safely hold an LSC 2x12
-Sized (or adjustable enough) so that I can put either 1x12 LSS or 2x12 LSC on the stand without taking casters off (although I guess they might rattle.
-Portable

Thanks, as always

The Ultimate Amp Stand (Can't remember the model number) is rated for 75 pounds and is very portable. I used this stand when I had my DC-5. You can leave your casters on your amp using this stand. The angle of kick back is adjustable.
I would still own it except I sold my combo and now have a head/cab.

If that 2 x 12 lone star is hard wood, i dunno that i would feel comfortable with a stand rated at 75lbs. I have a bubinga 2 x12 LSC and it weigh's roughly 94 lbs. Not sure how much less a non hard wood 2x12 weighs. But ya might wanna check before buying that stand.

I use three of these and have never had a problem with any of them (150 lb rating):http://www.zzounds.com/item--MUPRS7000

Hi. I've used a Stagg stand for years:

At one point, it was supporting a Roland VGA7 which is 83lb in weight. The only problem I had was lifting the thing on and off the stand.

I bought the OnStage RS7000 Amp stand about a year ago from GC, and after doing so, did some research on it (I know, I did these steps in the wrong order). I found a lot of people complaining that the stand would actually break, so being the paranoid person that I can be, I stopped using mine for my amp, and I just have a rack case on it now. Just my 2 cents.

I use the OnStage. It's rated for 150# and I like the angle the amp sits at.

The supports fit between the caster brackets on the bottom, so I imagine it would work with or without casters (mine are off).

Mine is very stable with the LSS on it. I also use one for my Mark IV which is less of an issue as it is narrower if not lighter as well. They are only about $50 so I would imagine if you are constantly moving it about the stand may get wobbly over time. I have had no issue with mine in constant home studio use.

Probably the best way to go for real gigging is a road case with casters and the amp strapped to the bottom plate. Something around $300 to get that setup.

I us this with my LSC 2007 2x12 with no problems.

I think you loose a little of the bass response with an amp stand.I bought an amp stand used it about three times then planed down a chunk of wood and used that. Not the best for small stages sometimes you can feel it through your feet - this I love. I have the classic and I agree you don't get the miked sound unless the speakers are pointed at you. You could easily dial in too much treble. If it's not miked thats a different story.Ther are a lot of times in small venues I am not miked.

What about one of these Gator Case Deluxe Amp Transporters which lets you stand the amp on top?

I've never used one.

from my point of view the best amp stand you can find is the lonestar 2x12" cabinet in matching colours.

if thats too small go for the 4x10" - even thats too low? go for the 4x12"

or you go as crazy as me and use another lonestar under it ;-)
