machinehead Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Does anyone know of a stand specifically designed for the jazz bass? A folding one preferred for ease of packing in a gig bag. Thanks. Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 This type without the lower cradle will probably be what you want http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Ultimate-Support-GS-100-Genesis-Guitar-Stand/HIX but note that those with the pivoting lower cradle also work though might not be as compact as you need.

Drax Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 What do we think of bands that use guitar stands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I'd walk out unless the guitars were just thrown on the floor after the 2pm sound check that was carried so as not to offend those people that get to the pub at 7 every week asking the band why they can't just start now.

HowieBass Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I think the stand thing is a bit of an in joke on here after that music stands thread... (or maybe cue Monty Python reference something like 'biggus standus') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 This works perfectly for Jazzers - http://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-stands/pid24679/cid584/fender-universal-a-frame-electric-guitar-stand.asp?LGWCODE=24679;56375;2717&utm_source=googlebase&utm_term=0991819000&utm_medium=pricecomp&utm_campaign=GoogleShopping&gclid=CI_Xg9X2zcICFefnwgodmB4A3A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 In seriousness, I have an 'ultimate support' stand which holds from the headstock. Works for my jazz basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamdenRob Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) I have legions of adoring female fans at all my gigs, so I simply have one of them hold my bass for me when I'm not using it....
