Here's how to fit a lot of them into limited wall space. Thought and calculation are called for to allow space to lift the top row off the hangers without banging the headstock into the ceiling; space must also be allowed to fit the widest-bodies basses. I got the spacing on the top just a couple of inches tight, and therefore hang the wider-bodies basses on the bottom so they won't overlap the tuners on basses in the lower row.

The U-shaped hangers screw in, and came from ACE hardware.

The lumber is 1x4 oak, anchored to the wall with 3" sheet rock screws.
 
Hey everyone. Getting close on buying a new home and wanted to be inspired on how I want to set up my music/bass room. I have ideas how i want it but I would love to see how fellow brothers and sisters on TB have there's.

I currently have a dinky corner of a room with my bass (that i's be currently playing) and rig would be.... While all my other basses would be stored in there cases in another room.

With my new house, hope to get all my other gear out and have a dedicated room.

So please, show off your music/ bass room.

My current house has a downstairs living room/kitchen that is my music room. There's a kitchen island that's great for all the recording gear. I bought a bunch of sound absorbing curtains from IKEA and about 70% of the walls are covered. With that and the carpeting the room has a nice dead sound.

I keep any instruments not in use in a IKEA PAX storage unit in another room, but I have stands for 10 or so instruments when required.

This is my little sanctuary...

Here's another take on this concept. The hangers are just slightly different. Just be sure to use a stud finder and hit the stud with the screws when you put up the hangers. It's also preferable to hang the basses on an interior wall to minimize fluctuations in temperature.

I HATE YOU! :D
I was a pro photographer for over 20 years. I would love to be in your position combining my love of bass with photography and web design! Just swap the cats for dogs and I would say you have the perfect life!

I like this idea and have considered it. But wow, it you don't get the screw into the stud there will be tears for sure.

... I like the fact that the instrument gets locked in.
