Welcome to The Bass Bar! This tripod stand is designed as a really fast and stable way to lay down your double bass, upright bass or contrabass. Perfect for quick instrument changes, but also great just as a stand. The bar and tripod separate for ease of transportation and storage. Sturdy steel construction, rubber feet and ends with protective neoprene covering on the bar. Suitable for all bass sizes.

Upon laying my fully carved 3/4 bass sideways onto this stand I was surprised at how "Forward-heavy" it makes the bass feel. There is no adjustment on the bar that it rests on, so if you bump it from the back of the bass it could very easily fall over forward off the stand. I have a Krivo magnetic pickup and a K&K Sound Pure Preamp mounted to the front of the bass so that adds some weight. Maybe your DB would balance better but that would surprise me. The other thing I don't care for is that your endpin is laying sideways supporting the weight of the bass at an awkward angle. I don't think that can be good for the bass.The reason I want a stand for gigging is to feel secure before the gig and on breaks and to me this doesn't accomplish that. For the last five years in my music room I have had a Hercules DS590B Double Bass Stand that is far more secure so I'm getting a second one to take for gigging. Plus the Hercules stand takes up a lot less horizontal space than the bass bar.

My wife bought this for me to help keep the neck of bass safe when I am waiting to play. To many close calls when just setting down 0n it’s side. This is a very sturdy stand that keeps the neck elevated and out of harms ways. Will never gig anywhere with out this now.

I can’t recommend this stand enough. It protects the instrument, and it looks awesome on stage. I’ve gotten so many compliments on just how cool the stage looks with my bass displayed. The best thing about it is that people can see your bass. No more people tripping over the neck in a dark club

As a seasoned bassist, I've had my fair share of mishaps with inadequate stands, but The Bass Bar has truly been a game-changer for me. Initially skeptical, I was pleasantly surprised by its stability, practicality, and portability.Let's talk stability. After a regrettable incident involving supporting my bass on a piano bench and a $1500 repair bill for a broken neck, I was cautious. However, The Bass Bar proved its worth. Deliberate bumps and nudges failed to rattle its support for my instrument, providing reassuring support for my bass, even with a longer end pin setting.Speaking of practicality, the design nuances of The Bass Bar shine through. Unlike other stands with hard-to-align end pin supports, causing accidental scratches during insertion, placing my bass on the Bass Bar is fast and seamless experience every time. No more blindly fumbling around, just reliable support without the added wear and tear on my precious instrument.Portability is another standout feature. Lightweight and accompanied by a convenient carrying case, The Bass Bar is gig-ready gear. It's become my go-to choice for rehearsals and performances alike, offering peace of mind without sacrificing convenience.While The Bass Bar excels in many aspects, it's not without drawbacks. Its fixed height can necessitate supporting the bass on an extended end pin. The bass occupies more floor space when tipped partially on its side. A height adjustment feature would be a welcome addition for those seeking a lower height so the bass would rest on the floor, avoiding resting it on its end pin. However, the stand works perfectly well with the bass resting on its end pin.In summary, The Bass Bar is a great solution for any bassist in search of stability, ease of use, and protection against scratches. Its reliable performance and portability make it a practical choice for both home use, practice sessions, and gigs. Highly recommended.

I was wary at first, but I must say that it holds the bass quite well. It is overpriced for what it is. I think $39.95 would be a fair price point.

Worked well for one gig but the bottom tripod is held together with cheap metal rivets. One popped out and made the stand unusable after relatively light use.

If you are OK with having to lay your bass down to retract your end-pin before placing it on the Bass Bar, and then having to lay your bass down again to extend the end-pin for playing, this bass stand is for you. For me, the reason I want a bass stand is to NOT have to put in down on the floor! Also be aware that with this stand your bass rests on its lower edges, so you will need bumpers to protect it (and the placement of the bumpers is different than where you attach them to lay you bass down on the floor). That said, I recommend you check out the K&M 141 offered at Golliher Music for $109 with free shipping.

This works great. When you play a big or Jan session on upright bass there is always the problem of where to put bass when you are not playing. Laying it down on the floor is high risk. People will see the body but might miss serving the neck and kick it or be tripped by it. This stand is well built and sturdy to lazy your bass on. The neck is kept in the air and the linear floor space taken is greatly reduced. I have a $20,000 bass that i an trusting to this stand and it solves the problem.
