i am wanting some new stands and want to stay light for my tour this summer. i really like the look of straight flat/flush base stands and i know they are lighter than standard hardware.
it looks like the three big companies that offer these are gibraltar, dw, and pearl. i dont really like the pearl and its a boom stand.
1.) dw 6710 flush-base - $79.99 (musiciansfriend) i really like dw hardware. they have memory locks and i like the tilter and felt/sleeve on the dw better. it has good reputation for quality and it looks good, but is it worth the extra $30? though its probably only brand recognition (im brainwashed by "the man." ha!) or the price, but dw hardware seems high-class, like the rolls royce of hardware. and, the legs are made of aluminum to cut down ever more weight...
2.) gibraltar 8600 flat-base - $49.99 (musiciansfriend) i dont have much experience with gibraltar hardware. i have used their pedals before and wasnt impressed. something about this company makes me think that it is not particularly nice, its more of the economy level.
what do you think?
have you had any experience with either of these stands?
thanks guys
