NS NXT stand issue

[JPJ]

So, at rehearsals the other night I had difficulty tightening the bolt that holds the vertical section of the stand.

A quick investigation showed this

 

Given that this bolt is used frequently, I’ve replaced it with a bicycle seat post quick release which is working better than the original imho.

 

 

Just sharing here in case anyone else encounters the same issue 😎

I don't like the stand on mine at all.  (see thread elsewhere)

I haven't had that issue with my NS, but I have that problem all the time with PA stands etc. That seems like a good thing!

I just think the stand is really flimsy and the footprint is too big.  I have a little powered monitor stand that's waaaay more robust/sturdy.  I (still) need to work out a way to join these two together.

I have a CR5M which comes with the heavier tilt-back stand which is great. I've not had ant problems with it but this solution to replacing the bolt is inspired.

I replaced mine with a drum stand and it was infinitely better. I think I did a thread on here somewhere.

I think I used this one. I added a couple of fabric washers between the adjustable bit that sticks in the back of the bass. 
 

Im sure you can get these cheaper second hand to give it a try.

I thought I gave you a pretty robust set of options that you could use.

Life got in the way.
