Tripod stands for holding BG in upright position?

[bongomania]

I just got a fretless BG that has a surprisingly good EUB-ish tone, but it is crazy neck-heavy. Like far beyond what a wide strap or any minor mod could solve. I'd flip it, but the neck profile is exactly what I like, and the tone is cool, and it looks good. So since it's EUB-ish anyway, why not mount it vertically on a tripod stand? I know I could DIY something (and I probably will) but I've seen various tripods already commercially marketed for this purpose. Problem is, I can't remember any brands or models of them.

So, can you point me to some brands, links, or other tips for a vertical stand? Thanks!

Personally, I'd just sit with it.




Yeah, I know, I'm not helpful at all

looks like it could keep the neck free for playing.

I'm not sure how I'd make that one work. Here's what I'm looking for:



That one's an NSD, and it might be just the ticket--any others I should be looking at?

I've seen this done with a wishbass. The person used a cymbal stand and a tom mount to attach it to the bass. Kinda ugly from the back, but you would be the only one seeing that side of it.

I see a lot of possibilities here ...

That could work... Any other suggestions? The drum stand thing does seem like the most economical approach, and the bass only cost me $150.

To make a better stand, I went to a used store and bought drum stands.. $20+ time
