well, i went to pacific radio (on labrea, just south of santa monica), and they had a tabletop stand that had an extension in it, so for $20, i bought it. i will be using it tonight for the first time...
now i just need a floor stand like tj's, and i am all set... guitar center only had the boom style, and they did not have the knob with the 5/8 on top. where can i get one of those (something to slip over the knob on the stand, and has a 5/8 threaded post on the top)..?
+t's all 'round.
