what to do with a broken stand?

Sign in to disble this ad
I got this stand http://accessories.musiciansfriend.c...and?sku=454316 for Christmas, because I really needed a solid music stand - wire ones just don't cut it. I took it out of the box, set it up, and tightened one of the levers that hold it together, and *snap*! Useless in one go. Other reviews on Musician's Friend show us that this is not uncommon. I attempted to return it to Guitar Center (the same one where it was purchased) and they were about as helpful as a coat in the tropics. So what should I do with it?

edit: silly suggestions are OK

Or, go back to guitar center and swipe the piece that broke.

use the flat tray piece as a rear spoiler and turn your boring hum-drum car into a bad-arsed bachelor rod. The chicks will dig you.

I drive a Cavalier, so this would be perfect.

I actually used duct tape to fix it- strange, being from Kentucky, that should have been the first thing I thought of.

Take it to a muffler shop and have them spot-weld it. I did this with a guitar stand and got many years of service from it.

I would, but the levers are plastic. My stepdad's a welder (well, tool and die maker, but that entails a lot of welding), he could help me out otherwise.

^^ Present the problem to stepdad. I'm sure he can figure something out. If not, Murder Worship had the cure-all...
