Hello ..... Small stages and the speaker Play through your leg , or what do you use  to lift it Up ???

I use a camping table/stool from Go Outdoors. Table top will take a claimed 30kg (I've had about 20kg of speakers and amp on it). With the table top off, the stool has a canvass seat and this combination is good for 90kg (and personally tested to 70kg with me sitting on it). The unit height is abut 19"/48cm. Folds flat and even has a little carrying bag. I got it on sale in Go Outdoors for something like £10.

I also use a camping stool - cheap, lightweight, folds flat. My small cab sits in the canvas bit like a sling. When I use it with my big cab, it rests on top of the metal bars, and the feet on the cab sit just outside them, which keeps it centred. It's obviously quite top-heavy when loaded, and not massively stable along the front-back axis of the seat - I wouldn't use it on unstable ground, or a crowded stage with careless band members. But in the right scenario, it's very handy!

I got my eyes on this : https://www.mudstand.com/mud-stand-for-bass-amps-1

And I can build a similar myself in wood .... It should be stable enough for all grounds and bandmembers,  ( groupies )' and so on 😉

If I’m gigging on skinny-string guitar then I almost always have my (combo) amp up on a stand. But if I’m gigging on bass I never have my cab on a stand. Most often my cab is a BF Super Twin which has excellent dispersion so no problem.

The best stand I have discovered for one of my Acme B2 2x10 cabinets is another stacked as a vertical 4x10.

I use Mark Bass cabs and this does fine

In the good old days, a plastic beer crate did the job.

Same here. I use this when using the CMD 1x12 on its own, but the best stand I find is another 1x12!

I have been known to pinch a couple of chairs from the room if needs be.

 

For stage monitoring my Acme foldaway cardboard creation can't be beaten:

You could always cut 3/4 pieces of plastic tubing to the hieght required and put under each corner or use bigger diameter tube and put one under each front corner and the third halfway along the back edge. Cheap and cheerful.

I used to use one of this type of thing when I had a cab.  Cheap, lightweight packs away to nothing but sturdy enough to do the job.

For my last outdoor gig an upturned recycling box!

I have a gig on Saturday ....

But the folding chair is also smart .... But when I use this my back holes are free 👍😁
