Bafflegab Posted January 4, 2020 Posted January 4, 2020 Hey folks, I’m looking for some wall hangers. The Hercules grab ones are an obvious choice but they seem to stick out really far from the wall, and as I have a very small space, that wouldn’t be ideal. Do you know of any that don’t stick out so far, and don’t necessarily have to grab the bass but have decent enough depth on the hooks so they won’t get knocked off easily? Cheers! Quote
Reggaebass Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I’ve got 3 types and the Hercules grab one does stick out the most, I wouldn’t use the all metal hook ones , as on a few of my ones the hook has come loose from the wall plate , I like these ones , https://www.stewmac.com/Materials_and_Supplies/Accessories/Stands_and_Hangers/String_Swing_Guitar_Hanger.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=2020-01-gp&pref_currency=P&shipcalc=UK&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0bDL1Y_s5gIVGeDtCh2M-AZOEAQYAiABEgIl-vD_BwE , when hanging the bass body is 75mm off the wall .

Bafflegab Posted January 5, 2020 Author Posted January 5, 2020 That’s great, thanks. What do the all metal hook ones look like, just to make sure I am thinking of the right ones. Quote
Reggaebass Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Ignore the one screw, I’m decorating 🙂 , it’s these ones Quote
Bafflegab Posted January 5, 2020 Author Posted January 5, 2020 Okay, I’ll note those as ones to avoid will probably get a couple of those stewmac ones. thanks for your help! 1 Quote
Si600 Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 Ooo, its not too old a thread so doesn't count as a zombie yet! What size screws do you use to fix the hanger? It's going into a solid exposed brick wall not so I know exactly where the joints are. 4mm X 50 screws or bigger,? I can go mad and use those expanding concrete bolts but I suspect that's over engineering it a bit. Quote

I wouldn't! Have you read the description on the Stewmac website? They can give you cancer! 😱😉 1 Quote
Si600 Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 Talk about spamming the thread.... Do you have anything on the wall to stop the body banging into it and getting scratched? My bitsa strat I'm not fussed about but if the P-bass got knocked I'll be a bit miffed. Quote
