How do you fit 17 instruments in a corner?

[RandomKaren]

I needed a bigger corner (unfortunately, in a storage unit, coming back home soon):

Holy instrument overload, batman! I have 6 basses, 5 guitars, 4 mandolins and feel guilty.

Does this corner make my bass collection look big

In this case Bass should be pronounced like the fish.

 

[C Stone]

Nobody puts basses in a corner

When I had 21, I took over a closet.

Now that is some space management!
I haven’t seen these, way to optimize.

 

[WI Short Scaler]

I haven't owned 17 total instruments in my whole life.

So I have nothing to offer here.

I don't have a spare closet (I keep cases in mine0, but If I did, I would worry about New Orleans humidity in small places. Things can get a little ... moist ... with limited air flow.

What if you play in a circular room and thus have no corners? X basses/0 corners=undefined. I don't, but what if you did?

 

[Leigh Semmens]

Norty basses, what did they all do to end up in the norty corner?

 

[King V]

Indeed! That Emperor Deluxe is one of the last ones with a chestnut top - and it plays better than it looks!

First picture - Yamaha BB714BS, ESP LTD B-208FM 8 string, Sadowsky NYC Will Lee 4, Beardly Customs Patchwork 4 string fretless, Fender Custom Shop Jazz, Sadowsky NYC 5, Yamaha Motion Bass, Alembic SC Deluxe, Fender Masterbuilt 66 Jazz fretless, Fodera Emperor Deluxe chestnut, 64 Fender Jazz, 73 Fender P (with "A" style neck), Yamaha Motion Bass, Haedean Uke fretless, and fender Kingman. Oh, and those two guitars.

Second pic - The Yamaha BB makes another appearance (only because I am getting it ready to send it to the painter), BSX EUB, Sadowsky NYC will Lee 4, 77 Ric 4001, MG Extreman fretless 5, MMUSA Sterling 5, Beardly Customs Rainbow, and Heartfield 6 deluxe.

I have another corners as well, and a bunch on wall hangers around the house.

What do you think about the MG Extreman fretless? I have a Extreman fretless 7 coming.

I don't own 17 basses, but I've donated that many. OK, one of those was a guitar. I'm not sure how they're stored now.

My remaining few basses are relatively easy to store.

more than 17 instruments though

 

[GodsLove66]

Ask and ye shall receive! Also, I have a few more corners, the one in the OP is just the most densely packed. View attachment 5428129 View attachment 5428130 View attachment 5428131 View attachment 5428132

THERE'S the Rickenbacker!!!! I was close to calling it out! Just gotta add a Serek Bass to the collection!

Aw jeez.

I just showed this thread to my wife. She's now not as concerned about the 18 basses she knows about in the house

Emphasis on “basses she knows about”.

That's a cool solution to save space. Do you have any issues or concerns with the instruments swaying on the hangers and bumping into one another?

They were very close together, not much banging, and I played all of them regularly, so they did get nicks and such anyway. It's impossible to prevent that so I don't worry about it, even on my custom ones.

I might have a bass at a friends house, one at rehearsal space -- or two -- and one at my brother's joint. Maybe even one other one at a guys house I sometimes play with.

I might.

put some wheels on a rack to roll it in and out of corners:

Dude, I absolutely love it. It's a superb instrument in every single way. Great attention to detail, the wood is top notch, every time I play it I find something new that I love about it. I can't imagine how cool a 7 string version would be.

I dig the wheels, but I dig that seafoam and pink bass even more!
