I bought this as I am currently joining a band for small gigs, where I just need something to put my bass in when we're setting up or breaking down. Not wanting to travel to heavy, I bought this, as it fits in my bass's case. I am not disappointed. It is nice and light, yet sturdy enough. It can easily hold my bass for the periods it needs to. Not the most stable option, but fairly okay considering the weight of my bass. Wouldn't leave it in there as a permanent stand though.
