Soledad Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Seems most stands are made for guitars with basses an afterthought - some don't like the long necks and feel close to falling over. Then there's the offset body issue. Any recommends please - specifically for my Jazz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I use a Hercules stand for mine - one of the ones that grab the neck as you place it on 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 These little Hercules stands work well too http://herculesstands.com/international/products/fretted-and-bowed-instrument/guitar/single-stands/gs402bb/ the cradle arms that the bass rests on are hinged so can move horizontally to accommodate the offset body shape. Not quite as stable as the larger neck grab stands but they fit nicely in a gigbag! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cradle arms moving so it takes the offset is exactly the thing I need. I'll order one. Thanks all 👍 p.s. done already - one-click Amazon £21.

Really easy spending dosh with one-click innit Don’t want to rain on your parade but those little stands are great however the bass does mean back quite a bit so in some aspects they take up more room - don’t get me wrong I have one too and they’re amazing but I have a neck grab type too which has a smaller ‘footprint’ kinda as shown here. Depending on your intended purpose that may or may not be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be able to fold it and take it places as I often have one fretted and the fretless on the go.May end up getting a neck-grab type also. This one will be way better than what I have at the mo. though. Thanks for the tip, I don't mean tip like falls over... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 They’re brilliant little stands. Absolutely tiny when folded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
