Basses around the house

In Aussie dollars that collection is probably worth more than our house! Cool thing here is I’m never far from a bass either. Nice collection.
I have an electric up in the top floor of my house in my office where I have a computer and a practice amp so I can play along with Youtube bass-less jazz jam tracks.
My upright is in the living room on the main deck and there is another electric in the basement with my other gear.
That's all I need.

I keep my basses in my office/music room since I practice there 99% of time. I have 30 bass ukes/mini bass guitars that I rotate through since my group meets twice a week on Zoom.
I have a wall hanger behind my chair in my office. I switch out the basses that I hang there often, to see if my co-workers notice on Zoom meetings. They actually notice!
Nice collection! I used to think I have too many basses - around 12. I no longer think that.
Funny thing about Warwick's in a rack like this is they might be small in stature but man they always have a huge presence...that third rack was the one that took my interest with the Warwicks and the Zon for sure. Incredible collection all up and I love how you have them scatterrede in different places. dreams !
I was cruising the web the other day and came across a gig/storage bag that hangs on the horizontal pole of a clothes closet. It got me thinking because I've been having more and more problems with nerve damage to my spinal cord from radiation treatments I had for cancer in 1973, which caused permanent atrophy to my neck and shoulder muscles, making it difficult for me to hold up my head and reach for my basses hanging up on the wall in my office/music room. I then looked for some kind of hangers for a closet and found a very compact and adjustable one. That prompted me to make a rack to hang my collection lower on the wall in a closet.
The wall is in two sections, 48" with room for 14 basses each. Since that many will be pretty heavy, I decided to use 1/2" galvanized pipe with floor flanges to secure the rack to the studs. Took me a bit of trial and error measuring each length of pipe that were custom cut and threaded at my local hardware store. Still have to get rid of more clothes and organize the stuff on the floor, but it came out great, very strong and secure, and the basses will be more protected from the atmosphere as well. I can use all the empty wall space to hang my photography.
