Hi Waynester,

As I need a new stand too. Are you talking about the AX48 range? http://www.musicstorekoeln.de/englisch/shop/produktinfo.asp?info=SYN0002139-000
(In silver it looks really cool)

or

(black)


Is it possible to put 3 Synthesizers on it?

Bottom: Roland JD800
Middle as my main keyboard: Fantom X7
Top: Korg Prophecy

Do I need for the JD800 longer apexarms?

Kinds regards from Belgium,

Yeah Joeri, that is the stand

i have gigged many a times with this stand and 3 keyboards, i would be safe and get the longer bars to support the JD800, you cant be too careful

i had to cut down to 2 keyboards, we were losing space in our van because of my ever growing collection of keyboards, lol

all the best

Wayne, I have an Ultimate AX48 too for my X7 and JV90... just wondering, how stable is your X8 on this stand?... my X7 does move a bit... I would have thought the wider heavier X8 would move about... then again, it may just be my "lead boxing glove" technique ;o)

Just butting in here I know but, I use my s88 on an ultimate stand and I put a pine board (about 1x12) on the rack first then set my keyboard on it so my keyboard is resting on its rubber feet. I have never had any trouble with the board moving around. Like I said earlier it shakes and sways but it always hangs in there. And I too have a pretty heavy right hand. JMIO

Dave - i cant say mine moves about mate, and sometimes when i`m soloing the stand doesnt move but the X8 does! lol
i dont think there is such a stand that is 100% stable, reason i have it is it looks great and i dont need a mic stand either as it has one built in! which i thinks fantastic !
though i am thinking about maybe changing to one of these for my FANTOM X8 and MOTIF ES7

That M92 sure looks nice! And yes, I love the integrated mic boom on the Apex too! Although I think our bass player will soon get fed up with it poking him in the back when we play at venues where space is tight ;o)

Wayne, hehehe... if he was just a bass player I would, however, when he joined us he had just finished touring with The Lighthouse Family, had recorded the bass parts for nearly every Steps single and, as it turned out, I had previously paid to see him play with Paul Young's "side project" - Los Pacaminos. He is just about the most talented bass player I know... he's a damned good singer too (damn!). Perhaps I'll just "gently reprimand" him ;o)

Gentlemen,
There is no such thing as 'just' a bass player!

Re: Good stand?

I'll agree with AlMiniccia about QuikLok's Z716L. (The "L" is necessary for the X8.) It's very sturdy with a heavy board on it, there's lots of leg room, and you can still adjust the height to play either standing or sitting.

There's also a dual-tier version called the Z726L. (But you can also add the accessory parts on later to the Z716L -- it'd be the Z720L crossbar + the 2 vertical tiers to accommodate the top board.)

DEFINETELY APEX STAND

19 Jan 2005, 20:57
I have an X8 and I am using the Apex stand in silver. it looks hot with the X8 as both are in a silver finish. I have used it on stage before and at home and its great for both.

The only stand i would reccommend.
