[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='661851' date='Nov 22 2009, 03:34 PM']Not a good idea to leave the jack plug in whilst standing the bass down as the battery will continue to drain and consequently shorten it's life.[/quote]
Thanks, Doc, that I didn't know. OK then, if the lead has to be removed, it's not a problem to use the Genisis stand. I'll just connect or reconnect when necessary.
Perhaps you could answer another question for me?: Personally, I don't like guitar stands, or hooks, where the weight of the guitar is suspended from the thinnest point of the neck. My Stingray weighs nearly 10 lbs. Yet many shops and bass players hang their guitars in this way. Surley the best place to rest the guitar is on the edge of the body?
