Angling up the cab for rehearsals - anyone got any elegant and styling ways of doing it?

Sturdy keyboard stand raising the amp up to closer to ear level?

It's a shame Markbass stopped integrating a kickback feature in their cabs, both the Standard and Club series could be angled back.

I converted an old Halfords bicycle carrier into an angled stand. The amp weighs a out 32 kg, no issues.

I mean, that's just £20 for goodness sake, I'd be hard pushed to buy some hinges and velcro for that...

 

I use a version of this (also branded Stagg and Ortega) at every gig and rehearsal, Though I've not put my BF Super Twin on one yet 😂

Sorry for late reply , been busy. I recently took the amp off and serviced it. I took an old Halfords bike carrier apart. Cut it to the desired length, swapped the locking mechanism around so it works as a stand. I put some prosecco cork stops in the tubes to protect the carpet. It hold the old school Peavey bass combo, about 31 kg. It's not a pretty stand but the combo conceals it.
