Subject:Re: Best way to use rack item

There's a great little $45 item called "The Amp
Stand". I actually have two of them that I use in
certain situations. They don't take much room, and
are quite sturdy and stable. I have an 8 space rack
filled with stuff (easily 65 lbs) and it tilts it at
just a subtle angle that is perfect for the sitting
player to tweak (my EX5r has some knobs integral to
the "analog" experience", and they're at the perfect
height). And if you stand, they can tilt back a
little more (which I'll use sometimes for my Yorkville
combo on the rare occassions I don't bring a leslie).

I bought mine at a local store, but I'm sure you'll
find it on the zzounds or sweetwater sites. If not,
email me and I'll get you the info.
