Hercules DS590B Double Bass Stand

This stand is really good. My favorite part is it holds the instrument high enough off the floor I can leave the end pin extended. This makes it very convenient to grab it off the stand and practice any time I have a few minutes. If I had to mess with the end pin every time I probably wouldn't be as motivated. Also it's very sturdy and holds the instrument firmly. I have a big 7/8 bass and once it's in the stand it would take quite a jolt to knock it over. It would take more than a casual accidental bump. It would have to be pretty intentional. I feel very comfortable leaving it in the stand in my practice room all the time.

Absolutely love it! It's perfect. Solid, sturdy and looks great! I love that I can leave the end pin at playing height while it's on the stand. This is the one you want!

Hold the instrument perfectly and it’s sturdy

My luthier recently published a photo of someone's bass that had "fallen off a stand" and it was in pieces, which scared me to death. This stand is very stable and well made, it slopes back a good deal and has an extended foot out the back, so it doesn't let you position it close to a wall.

Holds the upright bass. Fool proof. Stable and solid. Not much to wax eloquent about - it does it's job, reasonable price, easy to use. Should have bought it a couple years ago instead of having a bass on the ground or leaning against the wall all this time.

This is one of my favorite things in the music classroom. The bass stands there ready to play anytime. No more taking it out of the bag. Very useful!

Very sturdy. Easy to use. Securely cradles my 3/4 size double bass. An excellent purchase for me. Some reviews indicated that their product packaging was defective, but not so in my case. For my purchase. vendor's packaging was 'double-packed' within an Amazon-supplied box, so no problem for me.

I purchased this Hercules stand to replace a highly rated Konig & Myer stand. I owned the K&M stand for around nine months. While it is well-made it does not provide much in the way of stability. It is difficult to place the end pin in the small "cup" which allow then allows the instrument to pivot easily. The arms around the waist of the instruction to not provide much immobility of the double bass. The instrument stands almost straight up. I learned the hard way to be careful to place the stand somewhere where is cannot be bumped. My bass fell twice, the first time doing $500 in damage. It was knocked over again recently with no damage done. I guess I could be more careful but, I should not have to be. I just ordered and received a Hercules stand DS590B. What a difference! The instrument is well supported, does not sit on its end pin and was considerably less expensive. It is every bit as well made as the German made K&M. I wish I hadn't waited to long to buy it.

Wir haben einen Bassständer gesucht, der mitwächst. Gegenwärtig steht ein Minibass darauf, stabil und dank der Isolierung gut gegen Kratzer geschützt. Schön ist der kleine einklappbare Haken an der Seite, an dem der Bogen Platz findet. Mit zwei Handgriffen lässt sich der Ständer gut zusammenlegen, sodass er auch gerne mit aufs Probenwochenende genommen wird.

Great stand, as expected from Hercules. Sturdy & well-padded, folds up nicely, a slightly cumbersome for travel but it's a bass stand so... If you're looking at this, you're already carting around a whale of an instrument anyways :P Generally speaking though it folds up thin enough that it fits in the car without issues. Just load your whale first. Works great for keeping my 1939 Kay C1 in place when she's not being played. Works great on both hard flooring and soft carpet, no wobble. No complaints!

Lo amo. Se ha vuelto un mueble indispensable en casa

Just perfect! 👌👌

Esteticamente non male (lo tengo in sala) ma anche pratico per il trasporto dello strumento perchè si richiude occupando poco spazio. Abbastanza solido da affidargli il mio strumento, non mi ha deluso. Ben progettato con superfici morbide tipo spugna a contatto con lo strumento.
