My Mic stand tilting mechanisim plastic bolt stripped. I put a new bolt and had a small steel handle welded to the bolt. It still won't stay in place it gradually goes down even though it is tighened to the max. I use the stand to the left side of the keyboard.
Are there any stands you pros recommend for under $50? Or do I have to buy one of the $100+ stands to be satisfied?
Boo Thanks again

Boo,
I Never paid more than $40 for a mic stand, or boom attachment. You do not have to spend $100 for both even !
Get a new one at any store, and it will last you a long time.

Boo,

If you are talking about a boom type of stand it sounds like there is too much space in the clamp area. I would cement a rubber washer on the clamp. This should give it enough grip to stay put.

Of course if I were a wealthy brick mason I'd just hire someone to hold the mic, preferably a good looking blond female.

Do you always drape your arms in leis?

If Michael had thought of that he never would have tried that one glove signature thing.

For a minute there I thought Fran had taken the same route I did several years ago--frequent visits with Miss Clairol!

Mic stands have become almost disposable. It costs less to buy a new one than fix the old one. Get something lightweight, but stable and you'll be fine.
Look forward to seeing you in April Boo!!

Like the second one Fran! The first picture sort of resembles my wife's side of the family.
