Bass in Case on stand

[gapiro]

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

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?

The stand you are looking for is the corner of the room.

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.

I've got mine in the loft room (sloping roof!)

 

I can confirm that the Hercules stand works just fine. I can take a picture if you need me to.

That's no good if you're POTUS and want to practice in your office.

Some POTUSs considers practicing is for the weak and their talent is bigly enough already.
