even the cheapest stand at GC should work fine:
Do you have a picture of the Hercules at the max extended length while holding your bass? I am assuming it is one of these, correct?

I am curious how that one fails to work, and a picture might firm things up in my mind.

Yeah, I'm failing to understand how the Hercules stand doesn't work either. With a 34" scale bass I didn't even extend the tripod all the way out. The center pole was touching the floor on mine, & it was still long enough.

Works for me

Genesis 1000 works great for all my instruments, including the Lakland 55-01 (and the 18" scale Ashbory too!).
View attachment 1184369 Does anyone have a guitar stand solution for 35" scale 5-string bass that will not intefere with the EQ knobs on you bass and hold the bass securely? I have one Hercules tripod-style stand, but it is too short even with tube extended beyond the max setting.

I used to have the same problem with my PentaBuzz with similar A-frame stands at one of the churches I used to play at. Set it down and volume goes off. Everything is perfect at rehearsal/warmup and then
Nothing
Happened twice. One time missed the entire first song because the was not a good spot to jump in at.
Then I brought a regular guitar stand and problem solved. Works for any bass I have, including my 35" scale Turner RB-5F.
i have one of these that works with my Turner RB-5F with 35" scale.
I like Quiklok A frame stands but found exactly the same issue with my Wal bass using their electric guitar/bass stands. However, swapped to one of their acoustic stands and perfect... no issues with phantom knob turning...!
Yeah--a stand that holds the bass at the headstock won't bump the knobs.
I've used that Herc stand with 35 and 34 inch scale basses; the upright part is plenty long.
I use an Hercules stand for my 35 Lakland without any problem. I am curious, why do you care about the stand turning the bass knob, you were not playing it. When you grab the bass you can adjust it again, it is part of my routine before start playing: make sure that bass is in tune and knobs are in the right place.
Yes, the HERCULES GS414B works fine on 35" scale bases. When set up correctly the center shaft should be about 5 inches off the floor giving you plenty of height to spare.
Thanks! I used to have three of those strands several years ago, but wound up giving them away for some reason. I don't know if it was an issue with the padding or the neck lock. Good suggestion though. I may reconsider it.even the cheapest stand at GC should work fine:

That looks like the right type. I know that I had an issue with the body of one bass extending past the padding on the legs if I put the bass into the stand too quckly and would come into contact with the metal screw/bolt that holds the legs together.
That said, I just tried the bass in the picture on the stand and did not have that issue. I must not have had the legs fully folded out the last time I ran into the issue or maybe the two basses are that different.
Problem solved for this bass. I will pull that stand back into the rotation. Thanks!
Sometimes there is very little time to get on stage, strap on the bass, plug the IEMs into the Aviom and get ready to play before the band leader starts a song, so I would rather not have one more thing to worry about. Granted, if I kept the EQ knobs to the center detents, the, it would only take a second to double check, but if I set it to something else at sound check, I would like it to still be there for the song.
A Hercules should work just fine.
I use one for all of my basses including 37" scale Dingwalls and they're not even close to touching the ground.

I use this one.

This bid is over, but I have a schecter 5 and it handles it great.
If you use a fretwrap youll have to slide it down and scoot it back up in place, which is actually no big deal. If not, there is 0 downside to this stand.
