Hi All,
I found a long skinny box that would make a cool CBG bass body. But, I need some kind of leg to put on the bottom. Does anyone know where I could find a telescoping pole (kind of like a tripod or monopod) with a rubber foot on the bottom? I suppose I could use a table leg or a metal flange with a dowel, but I like the idea of something adjustable. Just looking for ideas here. Thanks!
Greg

Hi, Parts of an old cheep music stand could be adapted, rubber feet easy, from the hardware store. I have a stash of these from doing repairs, but thats no good to you, sorry.
Cheers taff
music stand might be to flimsy for the weight of a base, crutch can handle a good deal.
Hi, I think a part like pictured would hold a bass, when modified. As it can telescope into itself it has double the strength, depending on how long you pull it out. The part shown is a jig I use in my repair work.
On an upright bass I built I used a cymbal stand so the player could walk away and leave the bass standing.

Crutch leg . ...
only because of the cool factor , that it only has one leg , so you could call the instrument "Eileen" ,,, or ,,, "Peggy " :-}
(sorry ,... ill see myself out ) :-.
1. check with your social-media addicted friends, someone has a selfie stick with a broken smart-phone bracket.
2. check with your other musician friends, someone has a broken mic stand that you can salvage the center telescoping rod.
3. check with your photography friends, someone has a broken tripod that you can salvage one of the legs from
4. check the thrift stores for a cheap one of the above you can tear apart.
