Hercules Stands HCDS-590B Double Bass Stand

It's hard to get a sense of what all these double bass stands really look or feel like and if they're secure enough to leave your instrument on.

I picked this one because I have other hercules gear which is well made and because the profile of the stand was lower than a lot of the other stands available. The low back made me a little nervous but I really didn't want one with a neck support that would be very tall.

This stand is pretty perfect for my needs. Low centre of gravity, good padding and supports the bass almost to the top of the body. It won't wobble or fall over when it's on the stand.

It's light enough and also has a hook on the back for a bow if you need it which is nice.

Really happy with the stand

Received this stand recently and I was impressed with how well it holds my bass. All contact points are padded and the rubber padding also provides good traction against the surface of the bass to hold it securely in place.

The stand leaves enough clearance for the endpin to rest clear of the floor and it seems well constructed with quality materials. It is also really easy to fold down and transport. It comes ready assembled so putting it up was very simple.

The price on Thomann for this stand was excellent - almost half of what some other retailers are charging. Service was excellent too. For home use I would rate it first class. There are no upper bars to the stand which may make it a little more vulnerable at performance venues. However, the Hercules does seem to hold the bass pretty securely so it would need a substantial knock to topple it. I'm not sure any stand would guard against that. There is actually a handy and very visible yellow bracket cover at the rear of the stand which will help prevent clumsy bypassers catching it with their feet.

I bought this on the recommendation of another Double Bass player and I have not been disappointed. In short it is a simple, solid and secure solution to safely resting your Double Bass.
