It wants to sit off center in my regular stand and I don't want it to fall... keavin Senior Member Username: keavin Post Number: 1585 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Thursday, March 19, 2009 - 9:24 am:    Ive had one of these stands & they're Safer for guitars with crazy curves. http://www.activemusician.com/item--MC.KB38B olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 2196 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Thursday, March 19, 2009 - 11:18 am:    Hercules makes on with an auto lock on it. precarius Advanced Member Username: precarius Post Number: 271 Registered: 11-2005 Posted on Thursday, March 19, 2009 - 11:26 am:    I'm not sure if the Hercules would work. It's a great stand, but my Excel 5 just barely fits. FYI the opening is 2 inches wide.

The Hercules looks great but the neck of my bass is 2.2 inches at the nut. I'll see what I can find out about the Hamilton stand.... lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 3613 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Thursday, March 19, 2009 - 2:36 pm:    Ultimate makes a similar hang-by-the-neck stand to the above picture, though it's more solid than the Hamilton looks in the pic. It runs around $30, as I recall. By the way, I LOVE the Hercules stand, just wish it folded up smaller.

You can easily "adjust" the width of the neck opening to fit any bass. It is very stable and holds all my basses very securely - from narrow 4's to wide 6's. I haven't found anything I like better. Two minor issues: 1- The height adjustment sometimes slips down when holding very heavy basses. 2- The foam padding around the neck area eventually wears out and has to be replaced. tomhug Junior Username: tomhug Post Number: 32 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Saturday, March 21, 2009 - 8:12 pm:    My Essence 6 fits the Hamilton very well (or vice-versa), wide neck and all.
