uke Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Has anyone developed a light gig bag stand for a jazz bass yet ? I've bought loads that do Precisions and the like, but they don't like the offset body! Just a thought for the Dragons Den types out there! and I'm in for only 10% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMech Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 In theory it shouldn't matter if the bass neck isn't verticle, it's fine to sit it in wonky so long as the centre of gravity is safely within the pivot points. It might look unstable, but it'll actually be less so. Disclaimer: I don't have a jazz, I don't know if that is so hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I use a rockstand and my jazz sits a little wonky but usually it's alright. It's bit more difficult with my Lakland DJ, but again not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Rich Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 It's jazz, you're supposed to improvise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monckyman Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Get a stand with a pivoting arm setup, this will accomodate the Jazz arse.

xgsjx Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) If you've got a lasrgish gig bag then a Hercules Grab stand would suit you. [url="http://www.herculesstands.co.uk/product/GS414B"]http://www.herculesstands.co.uk/product/GS414B[/url] Or this might be ideal... [url="http://www.herculesstands.co.uk/product/85317/GS402B%252FW/Floor_Stands/Mini_electric_guitar_stand"]http://www.herculesstands.co.uk/product/85...ic_guitar_stand[/url] Tho it might be worthwhile looking at all their guitar stands as it shows a few holding Jazz basses. Edited to say Guitar Guitar usually stock em & I got my grab stand from them for £20. Edited April 21, 2011 by xgsjx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought size mattered - now I'm convinced. Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I've had the [url="http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipment/ultimate-support-gs-100-genesis-guitar-stand--7112"]Ultimate Guitar Stand GS-100[/url] for years and it has accomodated a Thunderdird and a Jazz without a problem. I think there is a new grab head version, too. Folded down at the moment it is 53cm/23" long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I think that this is one of those subjects that seems to come up quite regularly as I've definitely posted this before but I thought I'd take a picture. One Thunderbird on a £4.82 [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/millenium_gitarrenstaender.htm"]Thomann Millenium[/url] stand I've even had an explorer on there before.
