I've owned a few of the "chrome" versions of this stand for many years, and I've always loved them for my basses. So I thought a couple of black ones would be nice for use on stage. However, I just got them today and discovered a major flaw -- the black power-coated finish is too slick, and makes it nearly impossible to lock the shaft in place, and especially for a heavy bass guitar! I've tried tightening the nut as tight as I can, but the shaft still drops when I hang my bass on it. I never had any such problem over the years with my chrome stands. Very disappointing!!
