Markbass Bass Keeper

Not a lot to say about a product that holds a good placement in the list of the "why didn't anybody has come up with this before?!" utility tools.........

It makes clever use of velcro stretch (thank you NASA!).
If your cabinet it's carpeted it just sticks to it, if it's not, you can still use it, provided you have an handle or something to make it hold on to.

I keep it in my gigbag so I don't have to carry a regular guitar/bass stand with me vs which I think it's much safer, since it holds the neck of your guitar/bass.

Bottom line: a very useful gizmo which is really a no brainer.

I saw the Markbass Bass Keeper in the online catalog and decided to try one. I'm glad I did. I use a small stand to hold my electric bass on stage, since it fits easily into a gig bag. However, the small stand is less stable than I had hoped and I always had some uncertainty about whether the bass would remain upright when people were moving around on the stage.
I tried the Markbass Bass Keeper and it worked perfectly! It attached easily to the handle of a bass cabinet and held my electric bass guitar securely! I could relax, knowing that there would not be a loud crash and a broken headstock during the evening.
Again, I didn't know how useful the Markbass Bass Keeper would be until I used it. I won't do a gig without it!

I bought this as a quick & simple solution to keeping my bass from falling over or being stepped on during rehearsal/gigs. Like the product name suggests it keeps my bass safe out of harms way. Made with high quality materials and long lasting. The material is also padded so that no damage can to the instrument being propped up against the amp its attached to. For anyone lacking the space to bring a stand with them to and gig it is the perfect solution. I personally prefer this over a stand during gigs as it is easy to strap in whilst other matters are attended to in terms of sound check - whereas on a stand more care must be taken to make sure that the stand itself holding the instrument isn't knocked over.

Overall:
Good Quality
Padded for extra security
A more expensive alternative to a stand however I personally prefer it
Easily stored in a pocket in your case.

Buy with confidence!

Well, less worrying really. I feel far more comfortable leaving my bass secured to the side of my cab than in any rack or stand (apart from a wall hanger at home). This is made of strong fabric that is probably mostly plastic fibres. The Velcro is more than strong enough to hold onto a fuzzy cab but I prefer to use the side handles. This really is the one thing I'd urge you to buy, it will pay itself back in minutes, even if it just reduces the stress of leaving your instrument on stage, let alone costly repair work if your precious bass were to be damaged with out this. I imagine it will work well for guitars too. MarkBass are onto another winner with this :)
