BassAdder60 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I’m surprised that you cannot buy a bass cab riser ( think nicer beer crate ) as it would be popular in getting cabs raised so you can hear better A nice black tolex unit with rubber feet say 12” tall would make all the difference. Anyone fancy making me one !! For a good price of course !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I use these. I added the foam on top. They fold flat, and weigh very little. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case I attached two inch high feet to the front edge of the amp that hang down far enough to hook over the front of the cab. Where hearing what you're doing is concerned, especially on a tight stage, tilt back is even more effective than lifting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downunderwonder Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 If going the tall amp feet route make good and sure the screws don't finish further inside the case than the original. People have blown up amps when their feet were thinner internally or they used substitute screws and underside circuit board amp guts got grounded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Vaguely recall some sort of empty box / cab that had something like a transmission line port... you sat your combo (cab) on top and it increased or excenuated the bass, made it sound louder my moving more air... got a tilt back stand but can"t help thinking a coupled empty sound box would be better. like having ya hi fi speakers on an old empty sideboard. Anyone any ideas... design wise... empty box? Was thinking about a Ply or MDF sleeve cover.... slot in the top for the handle... a sort of half case. Simply take the ply sleeve cover of the combo... place the combo on the ply sleeve cover! Or have the cover on its back and firing out the front! In my Gtr days i used a length of 2" x 2" tucked under the front edge of the combo to tilt it back a bit...

PaulThePlug Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) twas called the Sound Enhancer Stand... but was for open backed combos and channeling from the back down and under... might just stick with my Gator Frameworks Tilt Stand...

BassAdder60 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I’m sure there is a market for single cab / head users Maybe a Basschat Cab Lifter mk1 could be built ? As mentioned I would be happy to pay for a nicely made / covered version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lownote Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) 15 hours ago, BassAdder27 said: Yes like that but not tilted back ( head would fall off ) I am looking at this issue at the moment. Got BS317 tiltback, works great. Curretnly parking head underneath, verticla on a Hercules guitar stand. But for head slidy off issue, I've got this coming after Easter, £5 from IKEA or £9 from Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/IKEA-BRÄDA-Laptop-Support-Black/dp/B00BT394MC/ref=asc_df_B00BT394MC/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=205157006079&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9791211232497669135&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045084&hvtargid=pla-378617878046&psc=1 . Hook lip over front of cab. Once I've got it to work you can come and see as you're only round the corner.

Downunderwonder Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Double wall cardboard cut so all the top edge forms a plane that supports the bass of the cab while the tail of the cab sits on the floor. Solid as a rock but don't flood it with a jug of beer unless wrapped in duct tape. It will stow in the cab port. Z plate hooked over cab to hold amp or the tall feet trick. If you spec it right it will also stow in the cab port. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lownote Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) Almost done. Head now on top of cab thanks to £9 worth of laptop stand, and four pot risers from garden centre to clear the sticky out Barefaced handle. A simple tie down strap renders it all bomb proof.

Probably need some sort of tie down to be 'pub cautious' Does that work the other way round so the stand doesn’t protrude to much onto the speaker front?

Would be good, but the other 'lip' is too low to safely hold onto the cab. Would be ideal if big lip was smaller and small lip was bigger. But that would mean major surgery. And it's only a tad bigger than the Barefaced sign it hides. Edited April 15, 2022 by lownote 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Fitzmaurice Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Looks good, but rotate the 2x10 to place the drivers vertically. Both you and the audience will hear it better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re heavy, awkward to stow, and the rivets eventually fail. I don’t use any kind of riser with my bass rig, but for my guitar amp I use a decorator’s hop-up sprayed black.
