One of the most difficult task for me during gigs or parties was finding the safe and stabile place for my double bass. Many times my base fell or people stumlled on it..not any more.... for small investment in this stand all my worries dissapeared. The stand is robust, stabile and easy to use. The price is unbeatable, too (especially comparing it to the potential repair cost of your falling bass). I use this stand at home and when visiting different places, gigs. It is easy to dissamble and assemble again. This were pro's, right now I do not have any cons. Definitely worth money.
