Nitro-safe stand recommendations please

[Dankology]

Having melted areas of finish in the past and with a nitro-finished bass incoming, I'm looking for recommendations for stands appropriate for home and stage use.

 

(Which is to say low-profile for the living room and near-idiot-proof for gigs)

I just get the regular ones then cut up an old t shirt and wrap that around the areas where the instrument will touch it, this from experiencing exactly the same issues in the past.

I've had my JMJ Mustang, which I believe has a nitro finish, for 4 years now and have used Hercules wall hangers as well as their tripod stands with the neck gripping thingies*, and never had any issues with the materials they use in their products reacting with the finish. 

 

*One of these.

I'd suggest the Hercules range as well, but someone said that they can still discolour nitro finishes. If you're leaving the guitar/bass on the hanger/stand all the time, then like @Lozz196 said, you could use a cut up t-shirt, I've used some old ties, or something similar as a "piece of mind" precaution.

 

I have the tripod, but only use it as required.
