The great thing about these stands . . . . you don't have to worry about the weight of the bass!!! You can buy any bass you want!

Thanks. The Lakland HB30 hollowbody is my No. 1 bass. I've had it for 7 years and nothing has come remotely close to replacing it. It will be with me until I stop playing bass. No.2 bass is a G&L Fallout. Heavy thing, and I'd all but stopped playing it because of my neck and arm problems. The bass stand has re-introduced the G&L to me - I can now play the G&L and appreciate it for its own charms. Wider, deeper neck than the Lakland, and more difficult to get the action as low as I like. Altogether a more physical instrument to play.

Yes! As I've just posted, I've been playing my No.2 bass which is a G&L Fallout since I made the stand. The G&L is a bit of a beast, and I'd all but stopped playing it. I've now re-introduced myself to it and can appreciate it for the sort of bass it is, rather than moan about it because of its weight.
