Bass Stand

[probonopublico]

What is the best bass stand?  I've tried a few over the years.  I like them to fold up, have a neck support (I had an instrument crash off one which just had the body support) and is light. The closest I got was called Ultimate although it was nicked from a gig.

You won't go wrong with an Hercules Auto Grab.

Ultimate are still making stands. If you liked it why not get another one?

 

I've owned both Ultimate and Hercules stands, and while the Hercules is probably slightly better, the Ultimate was much more compact when folded down which may be an important feature.

I've been using Ultimate and Hercules stands for a while.  My current squeeze is this one (GS402BB).  Assuming you have a regular shaped instrument, it works a treat:

I've got one of those. I wouldn't trust for any other than home use with a symmetrical shaped guitar.

K&M Memphis Pro stand. Top neck grab, legs fold in and it's telescopic so compacts down pretty small.

 

From this to this:

 

 

Set up, collapse down in seconds.
