You got rid of the bass? YOU GOT RID OF THE BASS? Gonna have to change your name then......
Seriously, the Samick looks a nice guitar - weird kind of cross between a Tele and an LP - I don't know much about them (Samick, that is) but if it sounds as good as it looks you're on a winner......
As for the floor stand, can't help you there - never used a stand in my life. I know, I should, especially since between me and the Mrs we have 16 (soon to become 17) grandkids running around - but hey, I've got the only key to the computer/guitar room....
