Stand for Ricky B6

Does anyone know of a good stage stand that fits a bakelite Ricky? Will a uke stand work?

I saw this on Musicians Friend. I've never used one, but it looks like it would do what you need.

Thanks William for the link. I'm sorry, I didn't make myself more clear. I'm looking for a place to rest the B6 when I am not playing it. Normal guitar stands are too tall. Fiddle and mandolin stands seem to have too narrow of neck slots, or are made for a lighter weight instrument - I fear the Ricky might fall over due to poor balance. Maybe a banjo stand would work.

Hi Tom.
I have a couple of the Hercules mini-stands that i like quite a bit, one of which I am using for my B6. They fold up small enough to tote around with you, which is handy. I can take a picture if you'd like.

Jayson - That looks like it would work just fine. I'll check it out. Thanks.

Leaving a bakelite on a guitar stand sounds a bit risky, and easy to get bumped over. I know it doesn't take much to snap the neck. Maybe if it's secured to the stand, and the stand has a wide base it would be safer I would think.
