Hercules Bass Guitar Stand (DS590B)

I've been using this stand for about two months and I love it. It does a good job of holding my bass in place. I wish the lower cross bar that holds the bottom of the bass was an inch and a half higher, or that the bar could be adjusted. Because I'm 6'2", I'd be able to put the bass in the stand without having to use the end pin. When the end pin is extended to normal playing height, three sides of the stand lose contact with the ground. extremely shaky That said, I take special care to ensure that the bass makes contact with the stand on all sides, and I only use the stand with the end pin up. I will admit that I have sat and played the bass in the stand by adjusting it towards my body on occasion. This drastically alters my hand position, particularly when the endpin isn't extended, so I wouldn't do it on stage. br>I wouldn't use it in a classroom or orchestra where the violinists like to cut through the bass section. It would be perfect for a jazz gig where there would be no techies or other personnel. or to take a break. When the bass is properly positioned, it rests comfortably. Make sure the stand is touching the ground at all points. Having said that, I enjoy it. br>Update 7/29/19: I still like the stand, but I had to use tape to rap the foam where the wood meets the bass because it had begun to deteriorate. I now believe that the bar on which the bass rests should be raised even more than before, allowing me to remove the endpin. I'm thinking of putting it in the corner between breaks again.

I assumed that because my practice room was carpeted, I could simply lay my upright bass on its side and it would be fine. It didn't take long for me to realize that it wasn't the case. When I wasn't practicing, it would lie on its side and get in the way. So I bought a double bass stand from Hercules. br>br>I'm sure Hercules is proud of their product, which is built to high quality standards and workmanship. 34" steel extrusion is used to build the frame. Steel arms protrude about 7" from each side at the bottom and lock into place for added stability. It stands about 35" tall when fully extended, with pins at the bottom and top locking the frame in place. The bass is held at a 22-degree vertical angle by the stand. The stand can be folded to make it easier to transport, then reopened and locked in place when needed. The frame is protected by a layer of foam rubber. The stand was accurately depicted in the photo. br>br>I've spent a lot of money on my bass, so the last thing I want to do is risk damaging it by using a flimsy stand. As you can see from the two images I provided, this stand is well worth the money.

This is what I got in the end - It appeals to me. I'm sure The Ingles is good as well, and for those who require adjustable bottom brackets for increased pin length, I suppose that could be useful. With an inch to spare from the floor, the Hercules allows for about 6" of pin out. For me, that's more than enough. br>br>If I had a corner away from any window, I would use it instead of a stand because it is safer and takes up less space. However, I do not have that particular corner. I just don't like keeping my bass near a window, even if it's covered, and I don't like storing it on its side, so I bought this stand, which has a fairly large footprint. It is, however, very durable. It can be used in a non-traditional manner with the bass. Cover is padded. Is it big enough to hold a bass in a padded soft case? Not sure. From the back to the front holders, you have just under 12" of thickness to work with at the bottom. 5 stars.

The construction of this double bass stand is sturdy. It's perfect for a big bass. The bass slips in and out of the stand fairly quickly, or you can play the bass while it's in the stand, though it might not be exactly where you want it. It is more useful than the English due to these characteristics. The shipping box is laughable, and when it arrived, it was more or less crushed, but the stand inside was unharmed. It's definitely one to keep.
P. The stand is still good, but the protective pads on which the bass rests wear out quickly.

I wasn't sure if this was a zero-gravity situation until I looked at the picture. It's a bit of a pain to put together a double bass stand, but it's doable It comes in a flat-pack format. With some foam taped around contact points and wrapped in a bag, this is a pack style box. It's as easy as opening it up and everything clicks into place once you've gotten that stuff off. This stand holds your double bass comfortably even with the tail pin extended because it is super sturdy, well padded, and sits on a very solid footprint. This contraption is fantastic, and the bonus bow holder hook on the back is a fantastic addition.

I don't have to worry about my upright being knocked over by my pets or kids at home. My only criticism is that the product is heavy and large to the point where it is inconvenient to transport and use at gigs. For performances, I use a cello/bass stand. And now that I have two uprights, I have a stand for each of them when I'm not performing. br>br>I gave this a five-star rating for "sheerness," despite the fact that I have no idea what that means. It's a pure bass stand that's good for only that.

It is well received by my 3/4 doghouse. It's one of my favorites, too. It goes well with a 3/4 stand-up bass. I'm happy about it. There wasn't much to set up, if my memory serves me correctly. I was able to use it right away! It appeals to me. It would be better if it were less expensive, but You're at a loss. On Amazon, there aren't a lot of bass stands to choose from. IT APPEALS TO ME. I even use it to play the bass, despite the fact that a professional might scoff at me for doing so.

The bow is also held by a small arm on the back. br>In full disclosure, the box and stand on our initial order were damaged, so we are completely satisfied with this stand! A replacement was sent out right away by the seller. The replacement box was severely damaged and had been opened, but the stand was in perfect working order. They provided excellent customer service!.
