Title: So ya want a really good guitar stand eh'?
Post by: David Wyatt (smokin_dave) on October 11, 2002, 12:47:11 AM

I read somewhere that Alembic basses were made so that you had to put the bass on a stand or in it's case when not using it.I have always hated dealing with guitar stands because I felt that they were a pain in the ass untill now.I discovered the Ultimate guitar stand.It holds my Alembic Epic and would hold nicely any Alembic instrument.It folds down to a nice,compact shape and it fits perfectly in the back of my SKB 6 space rack.Ultimate makes all kinds of space saving stands be it mike or guitar.
See ya.

Hey Dave,
 
It sounds like you're talking about the same Ultimate stand I picked up this past weekend.  It folds very small, has no sliding poles and sits very close to the ground when opened.  When I sat my Mark King on this, it felt so secure that I had to buy this one.

I got one of these stands six month ago, this is the first stand I feel good about putting my series 1 on, I've gone as far as bumping the stand with my bass on it to see how stable it is, It pass with flying colors, and is worth the money. how ever, I can't hang my Steinberger on it

Haha,yeah,no kidding Charles.You could always use the Steinberger for a boat paddle but then again,I wouldn't do that.I really like the old Steinberger's but wouldn't trade my Epic for a boatload of Steinberger's if they came floating by.

The steinberger is getting hard to get strings for (double ball), but its still a nice bass, mine is the XM-4 it the one with a body and binding around it it one of the first , it was designed by Mike Rutherford,it has the graphic neck, but your right, I still would rather play my Series 1 or my Epic

Hey Charles,
Try this link for those double ball end strings.I have bought from this company in the past and have been very satisfied with they're customer service which is a very rare thing nowadays.
