jaybass 70 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 this looks interesting , it hangs it using the strap buttons [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/p/913605/woodies-guitar-hanger-standard-model/"]http://www.stringsdi...standard-model/[/url] and only £12.99 !!

KK Jale Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Nice for display, maybe, but doesn't look quick-grab enough for me. By the way, re. your title... Is there REALLY any 'stress' on the neck from a conventional hanger? The string tension on a bass is doing its best to compress the entire instrument with a force of 140lbs, or more. Doesn't hanging from the headstock simply decrease that compression by the (far lesser) amount that the bass weighs? Dunno, but I've always felt that 'stress' to be pretty insignificant Edited January 26, 2014 by KK Jale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Might as well hang it up by the strap on a hook, I'd have thought. Even quicker for playing, as the strap is already on, ready and waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyfisher Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Yeah, looks a bit like a problem that didn't need solving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
