hey justin.. my friend Bill Burge has his for sale, very reasonable too, and it's in great condition... I think he's asking $75 or so...  drop him an email at bb@zemudaville.org or AIM him at olandbill if he still has it..

I can't imagine ever having to run a stand at 17'....would have to be unstable as hell to boot.

Reading over at Sonic Sense, Nutter tells us not to go very much above head height...  Something about the way the PA is generally aimed at our heads, not 10' above...

But then I gues it depends on what and where you are taping...  A 17' stand I bet is nice during a stadium show...

yeah, i normally like to stay about 8'-9' but i will go as high as i can at a DMB show...  nothing ruins a tape like a 16 yr old girl screaming and or drunks yelling for songs that have already been played in the set.  :)

Joe: i emailed your friend a few days ago but he said it was sold already...


how stable is this stand up around 15'?  i just want to find a tall stand that is stable to boot.

thanks all!
