Default Fishman Loudbox Mini Amp Stand

For those of you who own a Fishman Loudbox Mini, what (if any) amp stand do you use? I would like to know if there's a good option out there for getting it off the floor and raising it up for good projection.

Going to be playing my guitar and dulcimer at an Assisted Living Facility (solo).

Thanks.

I'm installing a pole mount in my loudbox mini.

I prefer it on the floor to enhance the bass.

I saw that one and it looked nice (reviews are very good). Great price too.

I can see that as a great option. But, I'd rather take along a fold-up stand than a fold-up chair. Don't want to have to search out a chair for my amp when I get to my location.

I think I prefer the sound with the amp raised off the floor, especially with the dulcimer.

Nice setup Dave! Thanks for the pic. I'm thinking that could be a little dangerous at an Assisted Living Facility. Could injure a resident (or myself ). You did a great job on it.

Well, this was a first time setup. I had just installed the speaker mount. The intention is to only use this in the large room setting, where it would be appropriate. Specifically, I was thinking for the assisted living for the blind. They have a large group, a mix of ages, and like to rock out. Or, folk rock out, as it were. I can't imagine needing it quite that high, actually.

BTW, the speaker mount is not for the faint of heart. You need to completely disassemble the amplifier to accomplish it. Since it was this, or a $1,000 PA, I figured it was worth the effort. Sounds surprisingly awesome.

Wal Mart has a black, folding bar stool for $11. I use it for my Fishman Loudbox mini, and have another handy for when I need to use a mixer with another player. Works great - cheap - light - and you can also play from it!
