Guitar Stand

[Hobbayne]

I remember reading about a stand you could rest your guitar on, which attached to your amp. Can anyone tell me what they are called??

You mean the markbass one?

No I think its a generic one that sits on the top of a combo and the neck rests in it. The body rests on the floor.

Not sure then, I only know of the markbass one that velcros to your cab carpet...

I think there's a Planet Waves one.

This thread had a discussion including those things:

Most probably the Planet Waves one, if I get you right.

Wouldn't be much good for a Jazz, Jag or t-bird

Does not look very secure. I certainly would not trust it.

i rest my Flying V against the amp, but I always stand it on something padded/soft and not directly on the floor.

Edited, to add I lean it so the contact is with the strings and not the neck.

I think a pretty good stand (or the best I've found) is the Ultimate Genesis GS-100.

The Auto grab clamps on the Hercules tend to break down pretty quickly.

Well..., no problems yet, after four years of constant use.

Good for you. The guitarist in my band and I purchased 3 of them and the auto grabs gave in on all 3. Mind you they still function as a stand as they tilt back, making it unlikely that your bass/guitar will come to any harm
