Best Bass Stool

[Jzztherapy]

Hi there,

 

I’m a new member, and am looking for the most comfortable stool/chair for double bass.  
 

Thx for any tips!!! 👀

Hi Sharon,

 

I recently had a similar conundrum. I found a pre-owned stagg mt-300 which has been good for me as it is adjustable and higher than most bar stools. Others have had luck with the IKEA Franklin stool but the 74cm version (of course depending on how tall you are)

 

Cheers

I've used one of these for years.

Built like a tank, easily adjustable and very comfortable, especially if you get the optional backrest.

I have one of those ^^^ as recommended by Happy jack, including the additional back support. If you by any chance live in London and are happy to collect it from SW13 you can have it for free

Afraid the offer above has lapsed as the stool is on its way (still free of charge) to @PaulThePlug

K&M make some nice, although not cheap, high stools. The Gravity FMSEAT1BR looks good and has a backrest. Again, not cheap. Ditto the Gator.

 

The Bassbags website lists a decent looking double bass stool with a back rest for £100 which has good reviews. There's a round up of double bass stools on the CMUSE website (2022, so recent) which is worth a read.

BIG big Thank you to @Clarky...

Well worth the 40 mile and couple of hours round trip damp Scooter ride.
