In case anyone is interested I got this double bass stand as a birthday gift from my better half. I did order one myself during the covid lockdown period and the quality was pretty dire and returned it for a refund. But I contacted the company since then and seems they have improved quality control at their suppliers. It is sturdy and holds the bass securely. The elasticated cord is quite tight so I do wonder whether it will press the strings hard enough onto the fingerboard leave a groove in the rosewood. Maybe  I will put some kind of padding between the strings and the fingerboard to minimise that.
Other than that it's pretty good.

That looks tempting….. we haven’t had a real Earthquake up here since 2001 so maybe I’m due for a more secure stand. I can’t keep my Alembics in cases….they are too pretty!  I may not play them every day but I do see them everyday.

All mine are kept in their original cases except the classico, which until today has always been kept on a metal stand. This new one the bass takes up less floor space and is a bit further away from the wall in a corner that is quite cold in winter.

I like the design, Jazzy... looks like a stable way to keep the Classico at home. I don't think the strings would actually work grooves into the fingerboard from just static pressure from the bands (?) that hold it there, but my OCD-ness would require something there. Probably a hand towel. That's what I usually keep on my upright bass stand now. (one of these)

I have the same stand of my acoustic upright.  Very secure.  Except the bottom foam rubber that the late great feline, Simon (aka Pink Toes) chewed on!  :-D

Monday saw another trip round the sun with this.

That is a work of art that I'm guessing sounds great too.
