[Harp-L] Re: amplifier stands

[Howard Chandler <h_chandler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,  they're all good ideas.  If I was in need and short on dough I'd 
probably go with the tubing thing.  

I'm just anticipating what will likely happen in the course of a giging 
musician's life.  That stand will eventually get crushed or bent some 
ham fisted stage hand.  The fender legs are gonna last the life of the 
amp and you won't forget to pack them.  If mounted properly, they'll 
look like they belonged on the amp.  This makes the tilting legs a more 
economical choice for the long haul

If SonnyJr offered them as an option, would you more inclined to install 
them on the outside, where IMO they rightly belong. 

And, as I should mentioned in my original post YMMV, JOMO (just one 
man's opinion) etc.
