Just wondering if anyone has a bass stand that you can play while standing up? Also the make and price if you can. thanks

As in you walk up to a bass guitar that is mounted horizontally?

Like this, but for a bass?

Yeah something along those lines would be what I am looking for, thanks for the quick reply, who makes that one?

Gracie Conventional Acoustic Guitar Stand

Invented by Alex Lifeson of Rush and marketed as "The Omega Concern", then later simply, "The Omega Stand".

Just make one like Pat Metheny did in the '70s! Much less expensive and adjustable.

Interesting. Although I don't know if I'd want to be "C"-clamping my expensive guitar! That's sure to leave some marks!

But a build shouldn't be too bad. Just start with a nice double-braced cymbal stands... like say Gibralter. They'll hold up about anything. Mount a Tom arm on it to get some angle adjustment. They are made to hold weight too. If you want lighter try some Yamaha single braced stands, but single braced stands tend to get wobbly over time though they are much lighter weight.
