I have Matteo mancuso with the gaming chair!
Just found this video, and I find it most helpful. I was considering purchasing one of these 'Quikloks', but am now considering just going with a stool like what was just demonstrated. Thanks for the helpful video! ????
Hello, thank you very much for sharing your experience, it has truly been very helpful to me, there is not much information on the internet about these chairs. I was looking for one for my home studio because I have a V-shaped guitar (ESP Arrow), and I have a Secret Lab chair which has armrests and when I play in a bad posture, I suffer from shoulder pain. To play well seated with my V guitar, the 'V' fits into my right leg and to maintain some balance and a good position, my left leg needs to be a bit elevated. Analyzing everything I have seen, it might be that the best option is a height-adjustable stool. Based on your experience, do you have any suggestions?
Thank you. All the demonstrations targeted at the critical points.
This was a big help, thank you.
Thanks for the review. The chair looks good but isn't practical. What Fender amp do you have?
I went to a store, tried 15 seats (guitar stools, drum seats etc). and those Fender ones are the worst. they are uncomfortable. the padding sinks. theres no support. I find you brave to like it. cause I've tried it and it was so shit. maybe you're built different. but for my physic. its a no. i wouldve made a mistake had I not tried it in stores.
Great review but as others have said that is not. aback rest really, just lumbar support. I can see that foot piece needs to be adjustable. Bummer, I was so hoping this was. a great chair as the Gator version is terrible.
Great job to consider the classical style. LOL While searching for a chair, I anticipated the problems that you confirmed. I was looking for one with a minimum seat height of around 18" but they are all 23" or higher and that doesn't make sense for a classical. Many of the pictures of people on them all had their legs going down hill. Great review. Not going to get one of those types. But they got sneaky marketing gimmicks to fool you.
Great Review Of The Chair And Stool
His examination of this Quick Lok DX749 stool has been beneficial for whether I'd consider purchasing it.
I stand up when recording, editing, mixing, mastering and playing guitars and keys but my floor is not level. This is causing back and leg problems. The spot I stand on is the best locations for mixing. I need a stool that tall enough and comfortable enough to sit on for 8- 10 hours a days. Do you sit for hours and is it okay? Thanks!
Merci pour ce tuto très explicite !
Je pensais que ce siège réglable à 3 positions, était idéal pour tous les guitaristes.
Aussi j’étais tellement convaincu, que j’ai failli l’acheter…
Ce tuto m’a permis d’avoir un point de vue différent, que je valide, car je ne suis pas convaincu du côté pratique de ce siège.
Effectivement, ce dossier est trop loin en arrière, et non réglable vers l’avant, et même si on le descend, ce n’est pas suffisant.
Un simple tabouret fait mieux l’affaire avec une assise confortable remboursée, et en dépensant moins financièrement.
De plus, un guitariste classique ou voulant jouer du Flamenco comme moi, a le dos droit ou penché légèrement en avant.
Un grand merci à vous pour cette objectivité !❤
Thank you for this very clear tutorial!
I thought this 3-position adjustable seat was ideal for all guitarists.
Also I was so convinced, that I almost bought it…
This tutorial allowed me to have a different point of view, which I validate, because I am not convinced of the practical side of this seat.
Indeed, this backrest is too far back, and not adjustable forwards, and even if it is lowered, it is not enough.
A simple stool does the job better with a comfortable seat reimbursed, and by spending less financially.
In addition, a classical guitarist or wanting to play Flamenco like me, has a straight back or leaning slightly forward.
A big thank you to you for this objectivity!❤
I've never used a stool before, but now in my older age I'm considering one.
The stool of topic for this video is one of them I was considering, because it looks functional. However, after watching your review, everything you said make sense. Thank you for helping me avoid a regretful purchase.
Do you find using a stool causes limitations or interference in pedalboard accessability?
about to buy one of these (I’m a keyboard player) I had the old model the D749, i actually had no issues with it and it’s now worn out after years of use, hence gettng this newer DX749, i guess it’s just no good if your a guitarist ? My older D749 was a nightmare with the feet falling off, that is indeed RUBBISH!!???? so I decided to superglue the end caps and then they do NOT fall off
I actually bought one…and I really like it… mainly because the back rest goes low and supports my lower back…. and the footrest is adjustable…. Overall I would give it 4 stars….. of course that’s just my opinion…
I have one and I have to agree.
I purchased the Quicklok DX749 chair just before I discovered your video…very honest review. I agree with your conclusions, and I use my Quick Lok probably more as a computer chair than when I am playing and the reason for that is that, it allows me to use my motorized workstation at any height I choose. When I play in the classical position I use a variable height footrest as you have suggested. I tend to leave the desk at one height however, instead of moving it up and down all the time. It is a fairly comfortable chair for playing or working at the computer. For playing, I recommend taking short breaks every so often to stretch the body. My biggest complaint with the Quick Lok is with the rubber foot grips on the footrest peg. They fall off from constant use unless you fix them down with cement or electrical tape wrapped around the footrest peg to ensure a tight fit.
Great review. Thank you.
Very helpful, thanks for making this.
I have one of these and have had none of the issues you describe.
Thanks
Reviewer's height would be useful as I have read elsewhere that anyone under 5 10 would not reach the floor.
The "backrest" is a lumbar support as demonstrated in the PC desk section. The question is why does is it designed to go so high? The best I can think of is it may be a safety device so the user does not lean back too far and fall off.
Good point about the square seat and the foot rest being recessed too far. I'm in the market for a chair/stool but will now only look at round or bicycle shaped seats.
You covered my main issues pretty quickly. I'm currently using a nice folding chair, which has been a great deal better than what I was doing before, but sitting on it a long time I tend to slump into the back, so it seems better at least while playing guitar to have no back at all, but then it's no good for just sitting there otherwise.
Basically, this stool would be much better if the seat were smaller.
You nailed it near the end. It's also a computer chair. My set up is all on stands, but it's both a guitar workstation and where I also do just about everything on my iPad.
And your video review is very thorough and very good…thx
Do you know how to conch this company regarding repair and replacement parts..
Thank you for an honest and real review, I'm looking for a seating solution, and this review helps.
Go back to the drawing board.
Sweet looking Ibanez
Good review, thank you for all of the options you considered, you also play very well!
Thanks so much
????????
Thank you for this video! I am having much the same problems with a recently purchased K&M music stool with backrest. As primarily a classical player the optimal sitting position is impossible to achieve with it as one ideally ought to have both feet on the floor and ones thighs supported horizontal to the ground with the instrument resting on one’s left thigh at approx 45deg angle so headstock pretty much level with ones eyes.
Atleast the seat on your Quiklok was adjustable to a lower postion that might allow such a posture – but as you rightly say that would then mean you being perched on the front edge of tthe seat with zero benefit from the backrest!! I have been looking at drum thrones with backrests but once again I suspect the same conundrum would pertain. I do suspect therefore that a simple low or adjustable stool without back rest at all might have to be the so,ution!
After viewing your video. I bought a Roc N Soc round seat throne. It costed less and is very comfortable. Thanks for sharing.
.. thx for posting ….so did you find one ?
Video starts at 5:24
Good review thanks
Thanks, gives a good idea of the stools capabilities
The fender stool you used is 24” or 30”? Thank you very much
????????????
Interesting. I have had the stool for years and couldn't wait to get shut of it. I now find the quicklok chair exceptionally adjustable and comfortable, but that wasn't initially apparent until I worked at it with seat heights and foot rest heights. The only thing I found improvement in was that I made was a platform for my feet that sits on the footrest tubes. Those tubes are really uncomfortable and should be flat plates. Different strokes I guess. I would not consider dropping the Quicklok concept based on your review as for some it's truly superb. Sorry dude – can't agree at all.
Ditto on the previous comment. Thank you so much. I almost ordered it cuz it looked like a really nice guitar chair. But it doesn't look very comfortable even though it's adjustable. I noticed some guitar instructors have chairs that look like armchairs without the arms with a full back on them. I need to go with that or a stool. Thank you for this review. That guitar chair is very overrated.
Does this chair can be use like for a music cocver in a studio sitting down? Or its only for musicians.
Get on with it jeez.
Great demo man. I thought I remembered trying one of these out long time ago and seem to remember the backrest not being close enough – that my lower back was rubbing the frame that the back rest slides on.
Thank you sir.
Considering this for my synths. Got a two tier stand at Christmas but it won’t lower itself enough for my current seat. And it’s so hard to find height adjustable seats that go high enough to reach the top synth.
It's not a backrest on that chair. It's for the lumbar lower it to about 4in above the seat
