WHUFC BASS Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) Can anybody recommend me a decent dual guitar stand for Spector / Warwick curved body style basses please? I've got one of the standard dual guitar stands and twice the bloody thing has fallen over, resulting in a chunk being taken out of the fingerboard of one of my basses. The stand in question is one of these: They're cheap and there's a reason because they're flimsy and unstable with two basses on them. Not impressed at all.

Maude Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 When it comes to stands I just go Hercules every time. Yet to have anything fall off or over yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Yes, the double Hercules is ideal for odd-shaped basses because there are no arms underneath the body, it's supported from the headstock and a strut that goes up against the guitar back. I use mine with a BBNE2 which is a similar body shape to Spector, and various Bass Collections.Not great for headless though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I listed a double Hercules in the for sale section a few days ago, like new and still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Jack Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 That's no use to you, mate. Trust me on this. The second your guitarist sees that, he'll start nicking one side to hang his guitar. Don't ask me how I know. I now use a triple Hercules, even though I only ever take two basses to a gig ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Au contraire Rodney ... the reason I know they won't is because the guitarist in the band also has a dual Hercules stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHUFC BASS Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Well I bought @FinnDave 's Hercules stand and I have to say, it's superb. Exactly what I'm looking for. I recommend one of these for anyone with more than one gigging bass and AVOID them cheap stands you can pick up for peanuts. You really do get what you pay for with a Hercules stand - the design on these really is ingenious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitarist in one of my bands uses a triple Hercules and two guitars so im always nicking one of his😂 I've always used Hercules myself singles and doubles.
