I use these all the time.

Take one or two of the longest black tube socks you can find. Go to any fishing outlet store and buy a bunch of cheep egg shaped lead sinkers around $2.24 a pound. Fill the socks, wrap around the bottom of the mic stand. They are flexable enough to use on any mic stand and work perfect. I usually use 7 to 8 lbs.

I like the way you think. Now I just have to decide what color socks to use ^.^

I wish I could say I like boom stands. I say, just take a basic mic stand and take part of your boom stand apart, duct tape the extension on...and presto!

Sure, that would work great. You could also get a bag of lead shot or soft dive weights and lay them across the base.
