Shorty
A little beast.
Shorty
The definitive mic stand for all things down low. From kick and snare to amps and seated performers, its ultra-stable base and tank-grade build deliver strength and security for any mic you put on it.
All Base 4 Stands are designed to take a beating, not break down. There are no plastic parts. The oversized, non-slip rubber feet will never dry out, crack and fall off.
Bold enough to safely hold the heaviest of mics, light enough to lift with one finger.

What the Pros Are Saying
“These stands rule!! They’re lightweight and yet feel as sturdy as any stands I’ve ever owned – the arms don’t droop, which allows me to trust them with the heaviest vintage ribbon mics I own.”
– Ken Rich
Owner, Grand Street Recording (Brooklyn, NY) Grammy Nominated Engineer, Producer, Mixer & Bassist
Lightweight + Secure
Weight: 4 lb. 6 oz (1.9 kg)
“Base 4 completely rethinks the mic stand… these stands are so much lighter and easier to use than the heavy steel stands we all know and love, but are strong enough to hold heavy ribbon and tube mics. It’s much easier to move these stands around the studio, and your back and shoulders will thank you.”
– John Baccigaluppi, Tape Op Magazine
Balanced + Stable
“The ruggedness and balance of their stands is superb… I never worry that their stand will slip or that a mic will hit the ground.”
– Pete Keppler
Music Producer, Grammy Nominated Audio Engineer, Mixer, Musician – David Byrne, David Bowie, Bonnie Raitt, Patti Smith, Elvis Costello
