Anyone making a 'presentable' bass stand for home use?

[BurningSkies]

Lots of stands out there in the world and for stage use I have a Hercules locking stand...

...but my wife has only now realized that having a bass in our 'presentable living space' (living room, dining room or bedroom) is sort of a fact of life...and she's tired of moving whatever bass I'm using for my daily workout. And she's allowed that if 'we' have to live with one around, is there a nice presentable stand available?

Any thoughts on a stand (not a wall hanger, etc) that's decent and fits in less with stage and more with 'furniture'? I have plenty of metal folding etc. looking for something that fits in a 'grown up' space.

These are a long dollar - like a new MIM Fender long, but they do answer your ask.

Wow, those look really great!

Those stands look amazing. My only problem with them is the price. Would need 5 of those bad boys and in 3 of those situations the stands would cost more than the instrument

Wow. Those look really nice. I like the WM shape even better. That pricing isn't out of the ballpark, but definitely healthy. I wonder if they make one big enough (or custom) that would work for my Dingwalls. Thanks! Some really nice options. Right in line with what I was hoping to find.

I thought I would add some pics for those that don't follow links:

My dad could make either of those for about $50. Make it a 90 degree angle at the top and it's $30.

I hear you, except $30 wouldn't even purchase the wood blanks for some of their offerings.

True for.some of the most exotic ones. But you can't swing a dead cat without hitting flamed maple in his shop. Most of it came from old tables or other furniture in houses he sold. I think we're going into the guitar stand business.

Be advised that they have patented their products.

I doubt patents would be very enforceable for the functional aspects of those stands. I would guess that trademarking the designs would carry more weight.

This is a free country. You are permitted to doubt and guess about whatever you choose.

I was merely giving a TB brother the heads up that they have their patent numbers prominently displayed on their webpage.

The price on those is pretty nice. Design wise they may have to stay around the corner in the bedroom...but not bad either!

Let him know there's a market for him!

Affirming that in the context of a discussion thread is unnecessary.

 

[robd]

I'd buy one for $50

Might have to give making one of those a try.

Find a woodworker in your area and ask him or her to make you something. A good friend of mine made this for me. It's walnut. I gave him creative license to do whatever he wanted, but if I had it all to do over, I would've probably had him make it more of a wall hugger.
