What's the best stand for a Jazz Bass?

[EssentialTension]

 

Title says it all. So what's the answer?

[NigeJ]

Hercules with the neck grab.

[Reggaebass]

I use the Hercules ones with the neck support too 

[EssentialTension]

I've got a K & M Memphis, similar style to the Hercules and very solid...

Legs wide apart I would say.

I've been using this on all my basses for years now. Excellent stands.

[KingPrawn]

I use these if we have a stage punters can't get close to.

or one of these to deter the "i used to play bass" brigade for floor level gigs

I have used both the Hercules and K&M on awkward shaped basses (Gibson RD/Explorer/T-bird).  They're both good but the K&M is telescopic and packs down a lot smaller than the Hercules without having to dismantle it.  However, the Hercules grabby mechanism is superior IMO.  Also the Hercules is a bit heavier than the K&M, so it's less likely to be knocked over which sometimes happens to me with the K&M during an unclean dismount of the bass.

 

I don't play Jazz basses, but if you want a compact stand, the Rotosound RGS-200 works with a Jaguar, which is offset.  Just needs to sit it a little to the left in the stand.  Observe the difference compared to a Sire D5 (which is not offset).

A couple of feet from me are two basses with Jazz-type asymmetric bodies sitting on two different types of stand, both of which work well. One is on the aforementioned Hercules stand, the other is on a Stagg stand with a pivoting cradle.

 

 

I've got a few of the Stagg ones, I think they're great.

After a couple of near misses with smaller stands I bought a Fender deluxe hanging stand. Only 25 quid but has larger footprint than many and hence is very stable.

Oak cabinet.

[EssentialTension]

It's the offset of the Jazz bass I am concerned about.

I use the Hercules one I mentioned with every bass including Thunderbirds and they are excellent

[EssentialTension]

ok thanks

 

[Burns-bass]

Seriously though all stands are fine.
 

Only issue I had is that some can react with a nitro finish if your bass has one. Hercules stands are the best made ones.

[SimonK]

My instruments have scars that prove not all stands are equal. Currently I'm using one of these and apart from once when I put a bass on too quickly and it didn't grab it properly, not had any problems:

I put my basses back in the gigbags when they're not being played.
