Best Multi-Bass Stand?

[Sean.Robinson]

Hi, ive just noticed after living in my new house that im leaving black marks on the walls where im propping my basses all of the time. Frontally the marks just wipe off but i dont want to have to keep doing it (both marking the wall and then consequently having to wipe the marks off :/) so could anyone recommend me a good stand. Ive got 4 basses so i need to be able to get them all on one and also im concerned about the stand material transferring to my white rick so i also need to be certain that there will be no transfer, has anyone got any recommendations please?

I use a hercules stand like this one




seems to do the job for me and they are very sturdy.

I heartily agree. I have a single one and they are really good. They hold your bass/guitar by the headstock. Sounds odd but it works really well.

hi thanks for the replies, i dont know if an inline stand may be better for my house though, also are there any warnings that the rubber on the stands could transfer to the paint on the basses?

has anyone tried this stand aswell? :

I have a Warwick Rockstand for 3 basses/g*itars - works well for me, nicely padded. Here is the five instrument version [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Warwick-Rockstand-RS20881-Guitar-Stand/dp/B0002II99E"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Warwick-Rockstand-...d/dp/B0002II99E[/url]

Hi, ive had the stand before and it was a good stand, y only concern is like with the other stands, will the rubber transfer and react with the white finish on my rick?

See what you mean - Why not ask the all-knowing dudes on the RickResource Forum? I can guarantee there is someone on there who will know!

I've got one of those triple hercules jobbies. It's nice and light, but I'm always worried that it might topple.

If you don't have the legs out at exactly 90degrees then it does go over like a stack of cards.
