The better ways to store your basses

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi,

I wish to get some advice from you guys on how to store the basses. I got few basses with me and not everyone of them I play frequently.


How should I store those basses that I play once every week

How should I store those basses that I play once every 3 weeks

How should I store those basses that I play once every 6 weeks

How should I store those basses that I play once every 12 weeks


Thanks in advance for you advice.

Chalie

Chalie, It would be a long drive (Detroit MI) But I'd be more then happy to store a couple for you! Serriously, you might want to post this in the luthers section . I'm sure some of the guys there could give some good advice. Hey, I'm employed, may be a I'll start a bass storage company!

I keep mine out on stands at all times, 'cept when I take 'em out to gig or practice. I like keeping them exposed to the environment as much as possible, because (in my mind, anyway), it keeps 'em more "used to" the elements than if I kept them in their respective cases.
