Bass Stand, Padded and Secure

Spread the love

Padded, heavy Bass stand

Gotta have a stand for the bass…can’t let it just lie around the house.

Heavy base-plate adds stability for the five-string double bass.

Nearly 4 — Nearly 4″ thick particle-board base-plate lowers the center of mass.

Exterior of 1/2 — Exterior of 1/2″ birch plywood for strength and beauty. Ready for varnish

Varnish complete: ready for upholstery.

Carpet padding with vinyl upholstery.

Upholstery begun...outside view. — Upholstery begun…outside view.

Inside view.

Upholstery completed.

Bass stand with the bass, secure against tipping.

Looking good! — Looking good! Safe, too!

Travel Case Coming!

The next project has got to be a travel case for this bass. A “Travel-bass” with a removable neck is less than optimal without a case in which to travel. And such cases don’t seem to be readily available for reasonable prices.

So, it is back to the drawing-board for me. 🙂

Probably looking at a foam-core fiberglass case. Shouldn’t be too much harder than building a boat. 🙂

Thanks for looking.
