Double stands... any good options?

Norwegian_Blue

I'm seeking a double guitar/bass stand for certain gigs... I've really never liked the Hercules AGS ones and Ultimate seem to do one that you can't get anywhere! I wish there was a double version of the rack ones for 3/5/7 guitars. Anything I might have missed?

K&M make a compact one.

I've had one something like this for decades, not the best quality but functional.

The rubber on the K&M gets sticky in heat and damages the neck finish.

They're a lot more expensive but the Starfish Hydra is superb.

I use 2 Starfish Active stands for gigs and the passive one at home, they're the ultimate as far as I'm concerned.

Tom Anderson uses them for displays at NAMM. 'nuff said.

I use a Hercules double at gigs and at home without any problems. I've let the bass player use half of it once too. What is it you don't like about them?

It’s difficult to understand what you don’t like about the Hercules stands, in my humble opinion they’re absolute the best around.

It's a weird one, I've just always felt like they are going to tumble when you take one instrument off! Probably in my head...

Hope that they don’t, along with a number of single stands I’ve got a couple that take six guitars.
