Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | I need a mic stand for my Line 6 Pod. Going to put it where the mic goes, keep it set at about waist high. It's better than keeping it on the floor.
Anyhow, I've seen the Hercules H bottom deals and they seem pretty good. GC has them for 32 bucks, or I could get used no name round base jobbers from the 1950's (or they seem to be from the 1950's) for 20 bucks. Before I go back to GC, do you guys have recommendations?
Thanks |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Thanks, I got this line 6 base that attaches to the bottom of the pod. It has a hole in it that let's you mount to any mic stand. i think. i'll check out the website. |

Tougher than nails and very stable, but must admit that a clutch type mechanism would be better than the screw type. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Well, the local guitar center has only ProLine models for $20.00. They had neither the Hercules, nor the Ultimate stands in stock. The ProLine'll work. Now I have to see if the seller of the used 1950's jobs still wants to sell. Thanks for the tips fellas. |

Location: NJ | I'm not real familiar with the POD unit, but I'd venture it's got a bit more "mass" to it than your average mic (plus you'll have sundry cable going in/out of it). I'd opt for something with a somewhat substantial base on it for stability.
Y'might wanna check out that old one.
I've got an old one made by AtlasSound (BrooklynNY, I believe) from the 60's that I got at a flea market. It's got a cast iron base on it (REAL CastIron) and it's stable as ALL hell. I don't use it for gigs anymore cause it's so friggin' heavy, but I can put an original Shure SM55 on a fully-extended boom and it's rock-solid . . .
If you're not pressed for floor-space, get one with "legs" for stability. |
