Sweet! ...and a Dingwall too!! Mine will be holding a couple (or a few) of those as well.

This is a nice thread, its like eye candy. Wish I had setups like some of these... one day...

 

[Noshtero]

I mounted a board across that's into the studs so I can secure the hangers anywhere I want along the length.

You WILL have these setups! I agree as well, there is some stout gear in this thread, poppin up! Its great to see guys sharing some helpful tips and their tried and true ways of storing the gear. thanks guys - appreciate it!

As long as you use toggle bolts, the neck-hanging type wall mounts are fine without the need for solid wood boards and such. Just don't use the crappy plastic drywall anchors. They're OK for very light duty stuff, but I'd never trust them for anything much over a pound or two.

Go side on, you can get more basses into a smaller space. You can comfortably fit a bass into a 10cm space, giving you a rate of 10 per metre. These are supported from the bottom, no stress on the neck and easily accessible. I found that when they're sitting there looking at you, you tend to play them more. Success.

I agree, I live a in a small space and my walls are made of old plaster that is way to risky to hang basses.

Or these:

Good for about 60lbs each...two or three of these should hold any bass. Yes even the Mothman!

ONLY THE CHOSEN CAN HOLD THE MOTHMAN!!

In a perfect world with no errors in installation. MAYBE. I've used those many times. As soon as the paper in the drywall is compromised, you can FORGET it. Those will pop right out. I would never trust my bass to those things. YMMV.

 

[Gilmourisgod]

Yep, never trust those drywall anchors, they always fail eventually. Always fasten to studs if possible. Ask me how I know this.

 

[Feral Feline]

I know you said "show me your...", but it's just a Hercules floor stand.

This is what I came across while looking for a specific wall hanger (which I couldn't find), the following are NOT mine...

Hmmm bass clef...

Be careful with these. The hanger holding my bass that fell was attached with one of these and it came free.

I have pics somewhere as I have posted them on TB before.

I wouldn't chance it!

If you have good dry and solid drywall, they are reliable. Do not attempt to use these at a joint. I've had good luck with these but admittedly I will always find a way to attach the fastener directly to a stud or other structural component behind the drywall before resorting to these. They are probably better for display instruments rather than one that you'll be moving around alot too.

Agreed. In my case, it wasn't on a joint but could have been a manufacturing flaw, had a small crack, etc. but I am gun shy I'm using them now!

Yep, and if they are even slightly over-tightened that would seriously compromise the reliability too.

I will confess to never using them for an instrument hanger, but I do have some pretty expensive and heavy stuff hanging on my walls with these, such as a large wooden wall clock that needed to be hung right between two studs...but that is essentially a static load so the danger of the drywall giving way is minimal.

For something like an instrument hanger that is used on a regular basis...especially where it may be subject to a variety of potentially ham-fisted users, I would not recommend any drywall anchor, not even toggle bolts.

And there I was thinking you were talking about AMP racks
