Headless Club???

My collection is definitely skewing more and more headless side over time. Below are my Kiesel Osiris 5 (pic credit goes to a prior owner) and highly customized Zon VB-4 (32" scale) basses, as well as my Kiesel Osiris electric guitar.
I wasn't sure but with the tag being "Dingstrand Norwall" and coming from the Nordstrand FB feed, I just kinda figured.
I will admit I went the DW site and could not find a "Nyx" model.
Body is more reminiscent of a Boden to me, but heck, I just dig it.
Dingstrand Nordwall are a set of Nordstrand pickups, designed to sound like Dingwall pickups.
I believe they were designed for Dingwall, but then Dingwall changed their mind and started desigining their own instead.

What guitar stand are you using in that photo of the Kiesel?
That photo is from a prior owner so I don't have the details. I will say that I've never had a problem fitting this on any of the stands at my house or the band's practice space, which are basic stuff from On-Stage or equivalent.
The picture might be misleading, but the tuners on the Osiris' bridge do not stick out past the bottom of the body, and the body overall is a fairly normal size, so this bass sets on a stand just like any other standard bass. Something like the Zon with its smaller body and large cutout for the tuners is a bit different.
I see. As I will soon be receiving my first headless bass ever, I realized that I need to obtain a proper stand!
I am asking this to see if there’s anyone else out there who is, like me, a lucky owner of Status Streamline 4 twin sisters - fretted and fretless?
These are really fantastic basses.

FWIW, I use a cheapo regular stand, and bend the bottom fork in tighter.
My friend Martin Keith is working on a new series of headless basses...
He sure is...and I need a stand for one of them!
My head must have been stuck up my rear to have missed this club?!
Hi. I'm Rob. I love headless basses. It has been 1hr since I last played one.

I don't care if I've seen your basses on other threads, show 'em again!
Lol. Well I was gonna refrain but...
