My new wall hanger!

Sign in to disble this ad










Well, it is not really new. A guy who owns a musical instruments store with two branches, closed one of them and offered the two wall hangers he had there for sale. At the current exchange rate I paid 90 bucks for this one, and bought one of the (lost) securing screws at a tool store.

I'm very happy with this purchase. My current basses are all keepers for me and hope I won't pass through a difficult financial situation that forces me to sell some of them. I was running out of corners in my house, so this was the best solution IMO. And still room for three more instruments!

Just wanted to share this cool acquisition with all of you. I've just installed it and still have to remove those nails from the wall. Thanks for reading!

Nice. I have one of those curved, 5-instrument Rockbass (I think by Warwick) stands. Very convenient, but I like the idea of the long, multiple wall hangers like yours. Just keep your curtains closed so nobody can see them from outside. A lot of thieving b######s out there...

Nice wall hanger, Alvaro!!! Nice collection, too. I'd recognize that pair of Bongos anywhere.

I tried over the course of several months to get my wife to agree to the same sort of thing on the main wall of our living room but was unable to get her to grasp the sheer brilliance of the idea.

I did, however, eventually settle for/compromise on a pair of the Hercules hangers on a small wall in the living room:

Hi.

Cool.

I would've said that the bar is mounted upside down, but the sticker on the end says otherwise.
