Stand for a jazz

[gary mac]

Hopefully someone can help with this.

I'm mostly rehearsing and gigging with my jazz at the moment and although I have a number of stands none of them are quite right for the offset body shape. They hold it to a fashion, but it's far from perfect.

Any recommendations please.

Cheers, Gary.

Hercules do a few that grab & support at the headstock.

I've got a K&M one which hangs by the headstock (no direct body supports) - works with a J really well.

thanks chaps, will check out the options suggested.

All the best, Gary.

I use one like this:



The bit at the bottom that the bass sits on swivels round so works well with the offset Jazz body.

Amazon sell them too.

I've also been looking for something really secure for gigging that will work for my Roscoe Beck 5 string, which is a Jazz shape, but it's quite a heavy bass..

One of these:

£4-50, has a flipover bar to hold the neck.

Blimey; that's cheap!

I use a Hercules shoksafe stand with my jazz. Very secure and easy to transport.

Does the bottom part of the Shoksafe stand swivel?

The basses I need stands for are much more off-set than a Jazz.

No, the whole stand is ridged.
