Which is the best guitar stand that is NOT eating nytro finishes and suits assymetrical bodies like Jazz Basses?
This?: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...and?sku=450561
Or? Others?
Thanx!

All a stand needs is some type of squishy padding, and three legs to make it stay upright. Just buy a cheapo.

My Stingray belongs in its case AT ALL TIMES when it is not being used. My Washburn sits neglected on it's stand and never gets used. And my Ibanez is always on my bedroom floor.

Just buy a cheapo. | I had a cheapo that was eating up my finish from my HWY1 Jazz Bass, because of the rubber padding. Then I bought a small Ibanez, like this : 
That didn't fit my Jazz Bass and i have to take sooo much care when I put my bass on it, and now I want to buy a really good one.

| | | | If the rubber or foam on any stand causes problems with your finish, wrap a piece of a diaper around it. |

Hercules has it, does the GS also have it?

I haven't used it with any nitro finishes, but I note that the Hercules Mini-Stand promo materials touts the fact that they are finish-friendly.
