Anybody know where to get a stand that fits a Spyder?

Kirk,
 
I use an ultimate support stand that does not have rest poles for the bottom of the bass - the entire instrument is held by the curvatures of the headstock.
 
I found this to be the best not only aesthetically, but also since the Rogue body shape has such a deep contour on the body, it tilted too far at an angle on all other stands - and nearly fell several times.
 
I embarked on an avid search for a more adequate stand for that eccentric body shape and this is the best I have come accross. They run about $25, and I believe that they have a lifetime warranty(?).
 
Hope that helps!

I fully agree with Kayo. This stand is all I will ever use for my gear. They're inexpensive, sturdy and very roadworthy.

Here's one for $20.I use one and they are great.It fits into the back of my 6 space rack which is very handy.

I use an el cheapo stand where the rest poles at the bottom are kind of like a huge tuning fork which plugs into a socket on the stand. This means the fork swivels - perfectly accomodating the slant on the spyders body.

There may be a market here for a handmade wood Spyder stand.

Hi Guys,
I use the same stands as David with this swiveling fork.
This is ok but you have to take care a little bit as the Spyders tend to slip off a little bit.

My Rogues sit better on the Warwick 3 instrument stand than any of the others I've tried, and it's more impervious to the perils of clumsy bandmates on crowded stages than a hanging stand. When I'm only bringing a single bass I use a QuikLok A-frame.  The deluxe QuikLok with the neck cradle and moveable body cradles should work for just about anything.

Hey Guys,
 
I've got one of those Deluxe Quik Lok stands just sitting in my garage.  I stopped using it because the neck cradle doesn't really fit a 5 string neck.  Whoever wants it is more than welcome to it.  Just cover my shipping on it.  I think I paid $40-$50 for it.  
Let me know if anyone wants it.
 
Peace,
Dino

I use a String Swing that has a plate I mounted to the side of my amp head, and a cushioned U that screws in. If you have a stack tall enough to to allow your bass to hang off the ground ( and what good Alembician doesn't?), it's the safest thing I've found.

BRother Larry,
 
now ...THAT's an IDEA!!!!!!
Let's see... if I consider Tweak Peaks ...it should be great have this kind of stand -huh-huh that's not a stand it's a hang-or-something- mounted on the top case so I can kinda flick it out aside so Bonnie can hand restfully at the side or the front ....
mmmmmmm ...good idea!!!!
 
 
Paul the bad one
