gapiro Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Hi All I, somewhat recently, got a new bag for my double bass (https://www.thomann.de/gb/gewa_bs_25_double_bass_bag_3_4.htm) and its amazing - its even survived a clumsy trumpet player falling on it with no damage However at home, I can't fit the bass in the stand I have with the case on- its a homemade wooden box that allows a base to sit vertically Do any of the stands around let you store a bass in a quite well padded bag easily? (eg the hercules one, or the G4m one) I have cats at home and they attack the bows and quiver etc so don't really want it out of the case when I can (for some reason they don't attack the case....)

I'm in huntingdon/peterborough kinda area - I have seen those stands online just wondering if they're big enough to take the base in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Yup, unless it's a 4/4 or has an unusually deep body for some reason. If you were closer, then I'd happily flog you mine at a big discount (after testing, natch). Maybe find another Basschatter up East Anglia way who has one and will let you try it?

pete.young Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 My Stentor 3/4, in it's gig bag, is sitting on a Gig Stands stand, which came with the bass when I bought it second-hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that the Hercules stand works just fine. I can take a picture if you need me to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
