ricknbokkerv2.0 Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 You know them. They keep the guitar/bass from falling off the stand. I have a triple stand and a single. The triple has one left. Lost one, and the rest got dry, and cracked. Anyone know if replacements are available? I'd do a search... if I knew what the damn things are called. Maybe someone knows an effective, easy fix?

Billster Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Don't know if such a replacement item would be readily available. Contact the manufacturer, I guess Maybe an electronics supply would have a suitable size of heat shrink tubing? Maybe the hardware depot would have something suitable in plumbing under the "insulation" category? Or perhaps weatherstripping? Auto parts store? Lots of sizes of rubber bumpers and insulation around car doors and things like that. Buy my CD on CD Baby! Bill Hartzell - the website MySpace?!?!

miroslav Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Go to Home Depot...I believe in the plumming secton, or there about... ...there are rolls and rolls of various kinds of tubing...plastic/rubber. Just find the right size and get a couple of feet...cut it to size...replace but tubing...done. You might spend $3-$5 for the whole thing. miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMcGuitar Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Are you talking about the padding on the stand, or are you refering to the piece that that goes across the "fork" so that the guitar is essentially "strapped in" to the stand? http://media.zzounds.com/media/fit,325by400/quality,85/brand,zzounds/p19851H-c4cf4d68b7e9b66be3c1d7c920228f93.jpg (I mean that little piece across the top).

Good catch. It's late, I need to adjust my eyes. Head down to OfficeStapleMaxDepot and get an industrial width rubber band of appropriate size. Buy my CD on CD Baby!

Blue Strat Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I believe that he's talking aobut the strap that keeps the guitar from falling off the stand, not the anti-scuff tubing. You could probably get some of the fat rubber bands that meat markets use on Lobster claws and use them to secure the guitar. BlueStrat a.k.a.

NMcGuitar Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 The heavy-duty rubber band is a good idea. You could also go to your local guitar store and see if they've got any of them around. I can't imagine they'd cost more than a buck or so. May all your thoughts be random! - Neil www.McFaddenArts.com www.MikesGarageRocks.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyLay a little crazy glue across the support & stick that axe right there. It won't fall off anymore. 'Course you'll have to strap on the stand when you play too.

Werewolf by Night Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Somebody makes 'em! I currently have two heavy-duty rubber bands liberated from lobster-claws on mine, but I'd bet that if you contacted a few manufacturers of stands and such- Carvin, perhaps?- at least one of 'em would be willing to sell you a box, or maybe even a few looseys.

ricknbokkerv2.0 Posted July 10, 2004 Author Share Posted July 10, 2004 Okies... looks like I'll check the music store first. If not, than the big rubber band was the first fix I thought of, too.
