Have you ever ever seen such a niche product?

This seems a great idea but can only be of use to players who own an 8 x 10 fridge!

yeah, ain't gonna work with my ELF mini rig with one or both 1 10"s hehe

[Elfrasho]

Yep.. For someone who's able to transport a 6x10 or 8x10 to gigs probably is able to also transport a stand without a problem! 

 

Although, I've always had the idea of having a rotatable bit added to small combos or cabs which would allow the neck to be rested up against it without risk of it sliding away. As in, the bass sits on the floor leaning against the amp, but this just provides a groove for the neck to sit in. When not in use it can be spun round so it sits flush against the top of the cab or bass. 

 

I'm sure that's a real thing, but if not, someone should make it!

I've seen some far more niche products, but they're probably not things I should post here!

I've seen a silicon neck rest that sits on any flat surface and keeps the neck upright.

To be fair, the website does say in massive letters:

Basshanger is made to hang your bass or guitar from the front of your 8x10 or 6x10 that's 16"deep

My point exactly!

Not quite what you're looking for, but I've got a couple of these which I use on my cab and desk. Not perfect, but they do the job.

Yep, very similiar to that. similiar level of support but mines would be a lot more flush to the connecting surface, so that when it isn't needed it can be twisted inwards to be unobtrusive. It would need to be retro fitted and i would imagine a very thin metal base plate would need to be attached to the cab, so not sure how many id sell... and to be honest, it would probably give little support. Not sure Id even buy one.

Basically anyone who plays rock gigs then.

You can also hang your goolies off it when you have lifted one of those cabinets a few times 🥴

[FinnDave]

I just tie my (bass's) neck to the strap on the side of the amp. Secure, quick and zero cost (assuming you own some string or velcro)

That's what roadies are for surely?

 

(lifting cabs, that is, not sorting out your goolies - though if that's what floats your boat, then why not?)

[joeystrange]

This a niche product because... Only a handful of people own 8x10 cabs?

[HazBeen]

Oh dear. Yes something like that....

[EBS_freak]

To be fair, the 610 and 810 are still very popular stateside... and Sweden and Germany.

I apologise then. I mistakenly thought that not everyone had an Ampeg 8 x 10

Apart from its limited appeal, it's an accident waiting to happen should someone brush against or walk into it.

Which is true for ALL stands and hangers.

Not everyone drives a car so we don't need parking spaces?

The market for such an item doesn't have to be huge. Many backlines for pop/ will feature a 810/610 or maybe even a 412.

Which is why I don't use them. It goes in the case when I'm not playing it.

[Davo-London]

With the widespread use of IEMs aren't 8 x 10" rather last season?

Peace
