Double Bass EUB on stage

I'm playing in a band that does as much rock as it does folk, requiring me to switch between my 3 bass guitars and my Palatino EUB. Oh, and a viola every now and then. I'm currently building a custom-fitted stand for the bass guitars/viola, but what the heck am I supposed to do with the EUB? So far the best I can think of is put my padded carrying bag for my keyboard down in the back of the stage and lay it on that, but does anyone know of any EUB stands? Gotta show that baby off... although it is great to see peoples reactions when I pull it out of no where and they haven't seen one before.
 
I made my own stand out of a IV rack I bought at a yard sale. The telescoping stand works great. Originally it had wheels which I replaced with feet (wooden dowels cut short with rubber covers for the bottom I got from Bi-Mart). I bent the metal hooks designed for holding the IV bags into an appropriate shape and covered it with rubber tubing. I used a very small tupperware container for the seat for the endpin.
