I'm with you on that Jimmy (love your playing BTW!). In fact I think I'd want it bolted to the floor and built of titanium...just in case!

I have an mbrace.  This, and other units have been the subject of previous discussions here, if you search for them.  I've used it to mount a Jerry Jones Coral Sitar that I used for the intro of a song, and then switched to a regular guitar.  It works quite well, though as noted above, make sure you have a good solid mike stand, tripods work best, especially for an Alembic or other instrument that is a bit heavier than the Coral.  I also modded it by adding staplocks for extra security.
 
Bill, tgo

This is how Rick Turner is dealing with this on several of his basses.

Looks like he stained a big popsicle stick and screwed it to the back....
 
Not the prettiest solution IMO.  Probably totally functional, but it certainly seems to be an afterthought in the design process.

Er, I don't think I'll be adopting that approach....
