looking for four (4) lighting boom bases-approx. 50 lbs.-threaded for 1 1/2 in pipe. condition is not important and they do not need to match.

Boom Base, Machined Steel, 50#

Because they're so heavy, I'd try and find them locally. Maybe Virginia, Baltimore, etc.?? I know SSRC has them, also.

Boom Base, Machined Steel, 50#

+1 to these. Really nice, easy to move around, and plenty heavy for your needs.

There are no threads on those truss base plates.
However, BML is a great company.

While I've never done it, the auction says you can run a bolt through and put a threaded coupler on there for a boom.

Exactly. I have never bought these but plan on doing so the next time I need a base for either truss or pipe. I know a couple of people who have bought these and they like them a lot. One guy cautioned me that the coupler is included but the bolt is not, so something to keep in mind.
