KingPrawn Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 I use these if we have a stage punters can't get close to. https://www.gak.co.uk/en/hercules-gs-402b-mini-electric-stand/3076?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_lAC-dOVj2rk48KHbXpLJINU11Z&gclid=CjwKCAiAxea5BhBeEiwAh4t5K4C-hN9fqnR9mEwuo8vDC35Eg8OJLO9ammvfc4D2eMp5IJcO-DjQShoC15AQAvD_BwE or one of these to deter the "i used to play bass" brigade for floor level gigs https://www.gak.co.uk/en/hercules-gs414b-plus-guitar-stand/918478?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD_lAC-dOVj2rk48KHbXpLJINU11Z&gclid=CjwKCAiAxea5BhBeEiwAh4t5K_QHjRvznz79fCn3hylCILwfA3xJBeRVs8wGjSXRXglWEdsEn2WNXRoC8dwQAvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 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.

Martin E Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns-bass Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonK Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
