Do you hang your basses up on your wall?

I hang my basses, as it frees up precious floor space.

looks sick on the wall as well.

Get nice hangers like Hercules or String Swing, hit a stud and you’ll be off and running.

I don’t have a pic right this minute but I use a 5 instrument string swing and have no complaints. IMO you have to mount it in studs, but finding enough studs in spots close enough to where I wanted the thing hung wasnt a problem.
 
Nope. Safest in their cases. I know they are there. My urge to play is most insistent. :) Those are in a closet with a hygrometer. A humidifier does that whole room for the winter months. The vents to that room are specifically restricted. While more important for the acoustic basses, it's easier for me to control the temp and humidity in a smaller space and have them adjust slowly with the case as an additional space. YMMV. We all live in different climes, sizes of homes, and heating sources.

High on the wall leaves room for the amps below. I have access to the back of that wall and put blocking between the studs so I could mount the hangers on whatever spacing I desired. Cases are stored behind the amps which is fine when I don’t play out often but will need to be rethought when the music scene in NY opens back up.
