The base I got with mine is one of those cheapy ones so I was wondering what's the most solid and reliable base that will fit a RNS. I've heard some Gibraltar are good. Any recommendations?
I don't know what base you are referring to.
I just purchased a Roc N Soc with the Nitro base. It's awesome. Has the gas lifter built in, like a office chair. It has some good bounce in it to reduce back fatigue and is free spinning too, to also stop straining your back. The best throne I have ever owned, and well worth the money. The only bad thing is you can't take off the seat from the base, unless you carry a spanner with it... Not a problem for me though - Fits perfectly in my hardware bag!
I just bought a RNS with a Gibraltar tripod base that seems to work quite well.
@StitchKaboodle: Why on Earth would anyone buy a Roc-N-Soc seat without the gas shocks? The whole point of Roc-N-Soc is the gas shock! Hell, I could sell someone my genuine Roc-N-Soc saddle seat to put on a cheapo stand.
Any idea which base?
What's the deal with the 'gas shocks'? What do they do exactly? The seat is very comfortable, I just need a stable solid base now.
The gas shock is like an office chair, although seems to make much more sense for the drum throne application. It reduces lower back fatigue. It is friction free spinning swell to also help reduce side fatigue... Trust me. Ask anyone that owns on of these thrones. If you buy one of these, you will never use anything else. The top seat also allows for perfect stability. It feels so natural, almost as if it has been moulded to your backside!! I never get a numb ass anymore, and we all know how that it!
