gapiro Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I love the idea of 'The Bass Bar' but I've now had two fail - both with the same fault - the joints of the support armsĀ just are naff.Ā I have made some repairs to my current one (see below) but just wondering if there are any similar products on the market?

Happy Jack Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I've had two of these since they came out, one of which gets used at every gig (and I do half a dozen a month), never a problem yet.Ā Ā Genuinely astonished at your experience.Ā š± Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second one I was just putting the bass on the bar for a lesson and ping, the leg came off Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mineĀ so the collar bit is about 10inches off the ground.... ...my issue has been knocking the bass on leg sometimes so I have bodged extra foam padding on two legs- unsightly but it works.
