Good small stand for gigs?

Drew at GBBL recommended the Cooperstand duro pro, but they look like a bass would lean really far back on one.

All thoughts and suggestions welcome

I use one of these. They`re not bad actually, only slightly awkward thing is if the lead is connected via your guitar strap it can get in the way, but otherwise a nice little bit of kit.

I have a Bergantino CN212, don't think I have a lip I could use for this. Now I'm considering this - [url="http://www.guitarholder.com/"]http://www.guitarholder.com/[/url]

It's a foam holder, and attaches to a cabinet with a velcro strip. I've emailed them asking how the velcro attaches to the cabinet.

Be interested to hear how this pans out - looks very interesting!

I just try and keep the gig bag nearby and put the bass in that. Its not that I don't trust stands..more that I can't be arsed to carry anything else from the car.

Although i do have a proper stand, these days im more likely to use one of these

That doesn't look nearly sturdy enough, looks like it will fall if knocked.

I'm interested in the foam holder, I emailed them and got an auto-response but still haven't heard back

Sturdy enough for almost 2 years of regular use on wooden stages ;-)
Its never slipped or caused my bass to get damaged, although it does tend to bounce off the cab if not secured when there is no bass in it.

I have been looking for a small portable stand but all the ones I have seen don't look like they give good secure support. Having been on stage with clumsy musicians (myself included) and witnessed disasters and near misses I want something secure.

I ordered a stretch Velcro bicycle clip off eBay £1.77 and attached this to my cab using one of the screws for the grill. Seems to do the job for me! Ideally it would have been better on the side of the cab and if the cab was taller it would give more support.

Hi
I have used these Fender stands over ten years. It fits in all my cases and gigbags. Very sturdy.

I use an Ultimate GS-1000. Folds down quite small, gets sufficiently tall to just about cope with a Warwick Buzzard. No good at all for my headless Sei though.
