Not sure what your wall hangers are coated with, but in case you put any instruments on there that have a finish, ESPECIALLY if it's Nitro, you might want to pick up a few sets of these:

I use 'em and love 'em.
The photo is deceptive - they are two separate pieces, just stuck together with velcro in the pic. And it's the short ones (shown on the right.) Not sure if the long ones are even available but it looks like they're not.
Thanks John
I’ve put more photos up here

Oh? Wait.... you meant the Dingwall of course.
I like heavy woods, but a wenge body would probably put it over the top in the weight department. I don't think I've ever seen a bass with a solid wenge body.

They’re not suitable for nitro according to their ancient website; my understanding was that nitro finishes were an issue with vintage stuff.
Thanks for the link!
My next build is specd northern ash body so that should be close enough to a HS I suppose.

Yeah, he had two when I ordered it a few weeks ago. Hit him up and check in. He may have still have one left.

The foam rubber in many hangers and stands reacts with nitrocellulose finishes. When people discuss the dangers of hanging guitars, this is where the real trouble lies. I had a fairly rare PRS bass that hung new in a shop for about 5 years and the foam from the wall hanger had eaten away the finish at the neck/headstock where the bass rest in the hanger.
But isn't that chambered? Didn't know you could get the fret hole and have it be HS.

That was was specially made IIRC. It is an ABHS BUT with the f hole chambering.
It was a custom build. Bubinga HS that got chambered, f scroll. And a bunch of white paint.
This group increases my DAS level!
I went from a fear of fanned frets to adding a Dingwall 6 ABI or ABZ near the top of my wishlist.
I’ve almost never played with distortion but I had trouble falling asleep one night because I had a riff running through my mind.
