Tilt-back amp stand recommendation for Mark V combo?

SBG200 · Feb 24, 2011

I wanted to see if any of you are using an amp stand for your combo and how it's working out. I'm mainly looking for one that tilts back (pref adjustable tilt) for small stages where I'm practically on top of my amp (and I'm pretty tall). I know there are a bunch of stands available, but with the weight and dimensions of the V combo, not to mention the spacing of the casters/brackets, and the abundance of jacks/switches on the back that could seemingly be blocked (or crushed!) by some of the designs out there, I'm trying to narrow it down a bit. Any suggesions?

Thanks.

I use a tripod stand..got it at Musicians friend...has adjustable features which let you get by the casters on the amp...and has a nifty mic feature on top...it was around 25 bucks or so. Sorry I don't have the model # I took the tags off... :?

Looks pretty cool. Can you adjust the tilt at all?

Thats the one I have too...yes you can adjust the tilt. It has a set screw on a collar. when you adjust the tilt the two support legs go in and out so you can sneak them around the casters of the V. I took off the rear extention leg to get it to tilt back a little more. I love mine works great....
