Anybody know where to get a stand that fits a Spyder? | ||

Kirk, I use an "ultimate support" stand that does not have rest poles for the bottom of the bass - the entire instrument is held by the curvatures of the headstock. I found this to be the best not only aesthetically, but also since the Rogue body shape has such a deep contour on the body, it tilted too far at an angle on all other stands - and nearly fell several times. I embarked on an avid search for a more adequate stand for that eccentric body shape and this is the best I have come accross. They run about $25, and I believe that they have a lifetime warranty(?). Hope that helps! | ||

I fully agree with Kayo. This stand is all I will ever use for my gear. They're inexpensive, sturdy and very roadworthy. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=031105104147198026119085698338/g=home/search/detail/base_pid/450561/ | ||

I use an el cheapo stand where the rest poles at the bottom are kind of like a huge tuning fork which plugs into a socket on the stand. This means the fork swivels - perfectly accomodating the slant on the spyders body. | ||

There may be a market here for a handmade wood Spyder stand. | ||

Hi Guys, I use the same stands as David with this swiveling fork. This is ok but you have to take care a little bit as the Spyders tend to slip off a little bit. Oliver | ||

My Rogues sit better on the Warwick 3 instrument stand than any of the others I've tried, and it's more impervious to the perils of clumsy bandmates on crowded stages than a hanging stand. When I'm only bringing a single bass I use a QuikLok A-frame. The deluxe QuikLok with the neck cradle and moveable body cradles should work for just about anything. | ||

Hey Guys, I've got one of those Deluxe Quik Lok stands just sitting in my garage. I stopped using it because the neck cradle doesn't really fit a 5 string neck. Whoever wants it is more than welcome to it. Just cover my shipping on it. I think I paid $40-$50 for it. Let me know if anyone wants it. Peace, Dino | ||

I use a String Swing that has a plate I mounted to the side of my amp head, and a cushioned "U" that screws in. If you have a stack tall enough to to allow your bass to hang off the ground ( and what good Alembician doesn't?), it's the safest thing I've found. Larry | ||

BRother Larry, now ...THAT's an IDEA!!!!!! Let's see... if I consider Tweak Peaks ...it should be great have this kind of "stand" -huh-huh that's not a "stand" it's a "hang-or-something"- mounted on the top case so I can kinda "flick" it out aside so Bonnie can hand restfully at the side or the front .... mmmmmmm ...good idea!!!! Paul the bad one |
