This stand is solid and well built, fits my Fender Precision bass perfectly, no shaking, rock solid. But it's a shame that can't hold a Kala UBass and not very good for a Hofner Violin Bass, as you need to use the edges of the base holder, otherwise the instrument will touch the floor. I was about to return, but the stand is too good, and i can get use to the Hofner bit :)
