Can you recommend me a good wall hanger please.

I have a few basses, at the moment they're all on Hercules stands.

Can anyone recommend a really good wall hanger that I can have put up for me please.

I was looking at this one, but the maximum weight is only about 3lbs more than my heaviest bass, which is my beloved Sei, I'd hate it if it fell off or something.

This looks really good, anyone any experience of this one ?.

I'm not a big fan of the Hercules wall-mount stands. Overtime the hanger starts to wiggle loose, and you won't feel as secure hanging your expensive basses on them. I suggest this one instead (not sure if it's available in the UK):

Basically, a guitar hanger with a lag screw welded on. I mounted several, equal distances apart for aethetics, on a cedar board, then mounted that on the wall. Find studs and use long deck screws if going through 'cedar,drywall, stud'.
You can finish the mounting board to match the room and don't have to count on drywall to hold up your valuables.

Pleased I found this, Hercules guitar stands are in my opinion not very good, they use a coating that degrades the plastic and causes hairline stress fractures around the clutch which leads to failure, I repaired mine with a bolt and wing nut! also there wall hangers are prone to failure too (See attached pics) this one was less than 6 months old when it failed, luckily I saw it just in time before my Rickenbacker ended up on the deck!
They say built to last (HA HA) I suppose this is what you get when you have things made in China! I'll never trust them again.

I have over $6k in basses relying on Hercules hangers, and I have no worries at all keeping them there.

I constantly check my gear for any fractures and issues.

Nothing these days is built to last forever.

If there is an issue, I'll address it immediately.

And get replacements as per the warranty. Lifetime.

Over 2 years with no issues.
