Some of you know I've been having weight issues with my Rivera amp, so much so that I considered selling it, or at least swapping it for something lighter. Well, a good friend of mine suggested I get the following from Ebay: Under £20 and seems a reasonable solution to me. A couple of bungee cords and away I go. Still leaving a shoulder free to carry the bouzouki now . Not sure about the trolley long term longevity but we'll see. Robbie

Certainly cheaper than a car Rob Very true, all I've got to do now is work out how to attach it to the back of my bicycle Robbie

I used one of those with my Ampeg combo. Great for wheeling about but doesn't help with the lifting part.

Actually, thinking about it, I'd make sure you have some spare valves if the amp is going to be jolted around on those tiny wheels..... Keith

Keith I'd have to agree with Keith here , its a great idea but you would be better with the same product idea but with proper inflateable tyres thus cushioning the impact of bumps . They are available and not very expensive . Alternativeley make friends with a great big bloke who likes gigs and take him with you , problem solved .

Its not so much the lifting thats the problem, its the carrying any more than about 10 yards- time for a crash course n driving lessons I think whilst I'm on holiday. Robbie

er, I think an intensive course in driving might be more appropriate Robbie! Keith
