rushbo Posted Monday at 09:29 Share Posted Monday at 09:29 When I was briefly under the illusion that a 5'9", mid-fifties, slightly chubby and balding bloke could get away with a Thunderbird, I had one of these to pop my Nikki Sixx signature bass on: ...and nice and sturdy it was too. Now I have a double Hercules "grab" stand which performs the same function for my age-appropriate Precision and Jazz basses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted Monday at 09:49 Share Posted Monday at 09:49 Another vote for the Hercules, got mine over 15 yrs ago IIRC and it's still my main stand. One of those bits of kit you'd just replace like for like if it got stolen/lost/damaged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnybass Posted Monday at 09:58 Share Posted Monday at 09:58 Depends. If its an in the house stand I use a Ruach stand like this: https://ruach-music.com/product/ruach-gs-2-original-wooden-bass-guitar-stand/ Spendy but with my ACG recurve (Offset body) on it, its more of a furniture feature. There are cheaper versions of this type too. If its a take to gig stand Hercules which many people have already mentioned. I have a Jazz, p bass and the ACG recurve all play nicely with both stands.

Replacing it was a no-brainer On the original designs you can take the latching assembly apart and realign the arms, did that to mine years ago when it went wonky and it's fine now. Tried to do the same to a mate's but it was riveted together instead of using screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
