Double Bass Stand for Merchant EUB needed

[sidonbass]

I just purchased this from a fellow TBer. I need a stable, safe, stand to place it on in between sets. Suggestions? I've tried Gollihur, Guitar Ctr., nothing seems to work. Ive read something about drum hardware? Here's a pic.
Suggestions? Any Merchant Verticle Bass owners out there?
Thanks!

Can you take a grinder to one of these? I think that these were similar to the Azola stands.

It's designed for an end-pin rather than a crossbar, but should still support the bar pretty firmly.

I've had one of these for a couple of years now, and it's rock-solid. Just read the views for the one gotcha: you need to make sure it's assembled and clipped together firmly.

I put the endpin in the position shown in the pic, take the wing(s) off, and lean it bridge first into a wall. This has worked for me for 20+ years. I put crutch tips on the ends of the crossbar to eliminate slippage.

I actually found the crossbar maddening, and took it off. Ended up putting a crutch tip on the endpin and enjoyed it much more.

I tried that, but couldn't balance the bass while standing.

My Carruther SUB 1 has a decent stand. the SUB is similar in shape to the merchant. Its currently in storage or I would attach a pic!

I made a stand for mine from an old speaker stand. Any good tripod stand should work. The trick is to capture the "t" base with a piece of u channel of some sort, so that the base won't slide away from the stand. Here are some pictures of mine. works great.
I built mine after the bass slid off the wall I had it leaned against, and crashed to the floor. After finishing the song I was playing on electric bass, I picked it up expecting major damage but to my relief it was even still in tune. Needless to say I didn't want to risk being that lucky again.

Very nice!
I finally eliminated the cross bar and put a rubber cap on the end. I really like how it stands much better while playing
But still searching for a stand. I’m curious about your pickup set up. What’s going on behind the bridge?
