JJJack Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Can anyone recommend a bass guitar stand for around five basses? After every corner of the room is occupied it would be great if they could all be in one place. Solid, sturdy and hopefully not too many £££ Cheers Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPodmore Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I've got an identical model to one of [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stagg-GDC-6-Acoustic-Electric-Guitar/dp/B000NZOCQK"]these[/url] and i've had no issues with it whatsoever. Usually has 3 basses and an acoustic in there but i've had another bass as well with no issues. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisK1975 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) I've got the 7 version of this: - [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00PB0BV5C/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=569136327&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0050OVIDE&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0P04DQK6J1YXDTZ9DG2M"]http://www.amazon.co...QK6J1YXDTZ9DG2M[/url] nice and cheap and works a treat - I dont move it anywhere mind - just home static use. Little bit fiddly to put together. Edited July 21, 2015 by LewisK1975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yup, I have a 5-way and a 3-way of these, and my slide guitarist (who swops between three guitars during gigs) liked it so much that he bought one to use at said gigs. The only thing to watch is that neoprene isn't the toughest material, and a year or two of thumping 4Kg basses onto it will wear through the padding on the bottom rails, especially the one at the back. I just wrapped some heavy foam around it and gaffa'd it in place. Sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Can't you hang them on the wall? It would look way nicer and keep the floor free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiOgon Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Here's an old but still valid review of the Chord stand http://basschat.co.uk/topic/109562-chord-5-bassguitar-stand-rack/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthedog Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Jack, I have an Ashton GS55 heavy duty 5 guitar rack you can have for nothing more than collection / delivery costs. I have two, both only a couple of months old. The used one is showing some compression in the neoprene, but otherwise is in great shape. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ashton-GS55-Heavy-Guitar-Stand/dp/B000OKSWB0 Edited July 21, 2015 by Bobthedog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I did try the Chord stand but was sorely disappointed and went with Flightcasewarehouse and their Spider racks. I did a review and listed my reasons why I preferred the Spider over the Chord. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/250757-spider-guitar-stands/ I'm using 6 Spider racks just now and have no fear of them falling apart. http://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/industry/product.asp?item=spider-5-way-multi-guitar-stand-8404-2741 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJack Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Nice recommendations, thanks all. I'm surprised and pleased that they aren't all £££ Mr Ghost, I have some on the wall and they hang there like the works of art that they are. But some still lean against walls. I'm trying to reduce my collection down to 4 or 5 (3 are in the basses for sale section), but it's hard letting them go. I'll send you a PM bobthedog.

tauzero Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I have a couple of 5-instrument stands similar to the ones above (two parallel bars at the bottom, stubby bars at the top for the necks). You have to get the angle just right when putting asymmetrical basses like Thumbs and Jazzes on them, otherwise they don't sit on both of the bottom bars and swivel round.

[/quote]Good point When I got my Chord stand I only had Precisions & set the stand up to suit them - they were & still are fine. Since then I have some Jazzes & yes they don't sit comfortably on the rails at all. So now the Chord stand holds just 5 P basses & the Jazzes are on separate stands.
