Hercules Stands HCGS-401BB

Stands that 'hold' onto the neck just below the headstock are long, bulky items when folded. Even a simple folding 'A' frame stands take up more space than is available in your average accessories case.

This one folds up small and manages to strike a fairly good balance between sturdiness and portability. Heavier than your average spindly, folding stand but less bendy and wobbly.

I also have the electric bass / guitar models too and like that they are among the smallest available anywhere. They fold up so small they can fit in my cable bag for gigs. I don't like the simple, glued on foam pad that supports the back of the instrument, especially as the angle is too diagonal in my opinion but I have modified mine by fitting a rubber foot in its place -sourced from another guitar stand I had.
