binky_bass Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 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! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tegs07 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodiakblair Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I did wall hanging in the old house but since I hate decorating there'll be no holes to fill in this place. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

TrevorG Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Been thinking about it but I don't trust my walls. Great OP title btw. Made me look! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 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.

redbandit599 Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
