How Hung Are You?

[binky_bass]

I've been on a bit of a hanging mission today...

 

Anyone else a keen user of wall hangers? 

 

I've used them for years with no ill effects! I think it generally keeps them safer and I've never (yet!) had anything fall off despite all of the ones in the photos being hung of plasterboard walls (using special wall-plugs).

 

We have a 'Basses on the Settee' thread, but I'd like to see how hung people are!

Do you live in a guitar shop?

I use the same Hercules ones. I have used them for years.  Only had a problem once when using the supplied plugs (supplied plug > brick wall) when the whole hanger bass and plugs came away and hit the ground. Lucky no real damage done.

I had never used the supplied plugs before and never will again!

They are well designed and well made hangers but the plugs that come with them are pants.

Going to be hard to beat that lot - but here are my five Fenders which is my complete bass collection.

No he’s got more stock…..

I did wall hanging in the old house but since I hate decorating there'll be no holes to fill in this place.

Excellent tessellation sir! Top marks.

Agreed, the wall plugs they come with are crap. They 'just about' do for solid walls, but I never chance them. The plugs I use are self tapping steel plasterboard plugs and they work an absolute treat.

Been thinking about it but I don't trust my walls. Great OP title btw. Made me look!

[FinnDave]

I'm definitely a 'hang 'em or flog 'em' type these days - there's only so much space on the wall, so if I can't hang 'em, I have to flog 'em!

I'm getting old and prefer support from below, these days.

Hanging's too good for 'em!!!

Then you'll have to flog 'em - you know it makes sense!

This carpenter thinks you're better off using brollys 👍

I have 4 hanging upstairs, 5 hanging downstairs. And some others on the floor

Finally found something for the status!

You must've had steel walls to support that T40!!!

A recent convert…

Depends, sometimes just 24.75", but can go all the way up to 34" when in the right mood.

I have mine hung like this… Not one of those basses remains with me though!

Do you live in an art gallery?

That would be a better for me, as hanging my headless basses is not an option 😆

[NancyJohnson]

Blimey.  I have one six string guitar hanging on the wall in the room I record in, my basses stay in their cases.  It's only there because floorspace is limited.

 

Again, I'll refer to a friend who has this gallery of guitars hanging in his front room.  They never get played, they're just hanging there, unplayed, covered in dust and other grime.  There's an Ace Freshly Budokan Les Paul (£8-10k), an EVH Masterbuilt Frankenstein (£15-20k), a Wolfgang (£3k).  It makes me want to cry.

Here's mine......I've left space for one more....

I have more guitars than hangers, and somehow seem to have gravitated to Corvettes. The Warwick photo is rarely seen as the two fives live in my gig bag.

The other view is most common!
