Stand for Jazz bass

[machinehead]

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.

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.

What do we think of bands that use guitar stands?

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.

They are pretentious twats. or....

We think they don't want their expensive instrument leaning against amps and maybe falling or being knocked over.

If I see a band using them, I just walk out...

How come? Surely they're just making sure their guitars are stood up safely?

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')

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

In seriousness, I have an 'ultimate support' stand which holds from the headstock.

Works for my jazz basses.

There is a stand in my local park that has jazz bands on it sometimes.

That's the point, when you go to a Pub,
You don't want to do safely....
You wan't a big debauched tear up, otherwise it ain't Rock & Roll.
Safely means Country & Western, leading to a walk out.

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....

You obviously have rock'n'roll basses... bear in mind we're talking jazz here...

Thanks for all the input. I think the Fender one might suit me best.

Ah, gotcha!

Well I've been told my bass playing never stands up so now neither shall my bass.

Or indeed, the best metal for a stand?
