Would this work for an electric bass on stage?

Based on the pictures you'd probably have to modify it to accommodate a basses' thinner body. Foam blocks or something.

Ask Joe Dart (or Cory WOng/Mark Lettieri/Jack Stratton) on social media which stand he uses in the Fearless Flyers. I'm sure he'll reply to you.

The description in your link says it only holds guitars with a thickness of between 2.95” to 5.31”. Measure the thickness of your bass and then you’ll know if this stand will work for you or not. I’m guessing most electric basses are thinner than 2.95”. If you scroll down the webpage you’ll find other suggested products, including the electric guitar version of this stand.

That's a terrible website. Looking elsewhere, I can see somebody sold one used for $199 plus shipping three months ago. So I'm guessing they're over $200 new

The Fearless flyers use Mbrace stands:

MBrace Guitar Holder - Discontinued

Universal guitar holder - securely supports any acoustic or electric guitar in playing position when attached to a tripod microphone stand. == HOLDER ONLY - TRIPOD STAND NOT INCLUDED ==

purewaveaudio.com

Unfortunately, discontinued. In an interview, they said they have 4 of them, so they can tolerate one breaking. After that, they're in trouble, as it's part of their schtick. The one cool thing is...you can play a heavy bass without dealing with the weight.
