chris_b Posted April 28, 2024 Posted April 28, 2024 The great thing about these stands . . . . you don't have to worry about the weight of the bass!!! You can buy any bass you want! Quote
solo4652 Posted April 30, 2024 Author Posted April 30, 2024 Thanks. The Lakland HB30 hollowbody is my No. 1 bass. I've had it for 7 years and nothing has come remotely close to replacing it. It will be with me until I stop playing bass. No.2 bass is a G&L Fallout. Heavy thing, and I'd all but stopped playing it because of my neck and arm problems. The bass stand has re-introduced the G&L to me - I can now play the G&L and appreciate it for its own charms. Wider, deeper neck than the Lakland, and more difficult to get the action as low as I like. Altogether a more physical instrument to play. 1 Quote

You can buy any bass you want! Yes! As I've just posted, I've been playing my No.2 bass which is a G&L Fallout since I made the stand. The G&L is a bit of a beast, and I'd all but stopped playing it. I've now re-introduced myself to it and can appreciate it for the sort of bass it is, rather than moan about it because of its weight. 1 Quote

The stand was off-the-shelf and has a lot of adjustment. Hi @Rosie C That stand is awesome! It is just what I need for gigging Could you please give me the name of the stand, a description or a link where I can find it? Thank you so very much! Quote

The stand part is easy - it's for an NS bass and I believe it is this one: https://www.thomann.co.uk/ns_design_nxt_tripod_stand.htm The bracket on the bass was a bit of a project. From memory I think I bought a piece of square steel plate from a guy on ebay, and also a laser-cut steel disc. My friendly local car mechanic welded a nut on the back, and we drilled and tapped threads. Quote
