Along with a new gig bag I could use a new stand or two. What do you guys use? If you take multiple basses do you use a multiple bass stand or multiple individual stands?

Sometimes my gig bag will stay on stage and the 2nd bass stays in the bag. When I swap I put one back in the bag, take the other out. Other gigs the bag is back stage and if I'm not actively swapping the 2nd bass stays there. If there is room then a Hercules stand for the 2nd bass on stage.

I've been using this stand- http://www.sweetwater.com/store/deta...FQ6EnQodWy0Adw
It works great, fits in my bags, guitars balance well on it. However, it wouldn't work with my LG.
Can anyone recommend a small stand(fits in a backpack), balances well, and will handle the shape of an LG? |

Well made and folds flat so it actually fits in the pocket on my ProTec gig bag (fits in a roscoe gig bag too!). If its a small stage or a crowded venue though I just have my gig bag propped against my cab an slide the bass into that.

I'd love a small very portable stand like that, but it looks like someone could walk by and dump your bass without much effort.

I don't know the brand, but I've got 8 or 10 of them laying around. I grab the two closest to the door on the way out, and I've never had an issue. |

...Rockstand 5 space.
Usually, just tuck it in the gigbag on breaks. Typically I just bring The Stormtrooper on gigs lately. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
