Samash.com has a great deal on a Groove Pak six guitar (or bass) suitcase style stand for under $50!  The comparable Fender brand stand (also available from Sam Ash) is $249!  I bought two of the Groove Pak stands and love them.  Surprisingly well made for the money.  My wife lets me keep six of my electrics in the living room in the stand.  Here's a link:

Thanks for the clarification, James...apparently your bass has a twin brother one of our fellow members just picked up from GC Dallas.

In my pre-Alembic years I tried a variety of stand designs but I never really felt comforable with any of them.  By the time I got my first Alembic I had sworn them off.
 
My Alembic can be found in one of two locations; around my neck or in its case.  That may be a little over the top but it does give me peace of mind.

Pmoran,
 
The stand I have is called Ultra.  I've lost track of the manufacturer name, but it's something like Kaman.  I did a google and found a similar stand for $49.95 at Zzounds.com

Kungfusheriff, The bass that Slapbass picked up from the Dallas GC does look a lot like mine.  He'll be doing the happy dance soon.
 
Peace,
 
James

I to used to keep all my instruments in their cases but after a long time realised that I was very lazy.  If the instruments were in their cases, in order to play them I have to go through the trouble of getting them out and putting them away when I was finished.  
 
Currently I am in the process of designing a wall mounted rack that I can use to hang all my instruments out on.  They will be supported by the nut as well, and hung up high enough to be out of harms way.

My situation is similar to Michael's.  Some time ago I found that if the instruments are in their cases, they are out of sight, out of mind.  So I started leaving them out in their stands and sure enough I was practicing a lot more.  When I'm walking from the kitchen to the office I have to walk right past my basses; and frequently I'll stop and pick one up and practice for a while.

Hercules makes a nice triple stand.  It's a little more sturdy than the ultra, but I don't know if it's tall enough for you 34 scale guys, but probably.  Also it's got the auto-grab feature which is kinda slick.
Here are some.
