Been a while. Probably need an updated fam pic. I’m down to 2! I’ve been a good boy!
New girlfriend. It’s a Build from extraneous warmoth parts I bought over a year and slapped it together. Maple P neck (1.75”), alder body painted with a thin coat of butterscotch. Hipshot vintage tuners, badass II bridge that came on the body, and a quarter pounder. Lovely bass and is sporting some D’Addario chromes.
Next is old reliable. My Lakland DJ5 from 2004. Stock Aero pickups. Love it.

Comment of the week!
Holy moly, any full body shots of that Laky? Are their B strings still the industry standard?
I'm too lazy, to be that neat...Good idea for a closet--hang up your basses instead of your shirts.
Nice idea/collection, though!!!
I smell a new thread.

I Did That Ya I played There Ya I Did What a Blast
I Never Hang Basses .. in time it makes marks on the neck and your putting all that Weight in that one Area On the Neck .. Hanging .. Really .. If You Think About It ? Think About It !!!!! , No way' is this good for Wood ect. Blah Blah Blah..some say EH.. not going to do a thing, Not Me... You Get done with your Bass .. Put It Back in the Case .. That fits it and holds it snug .. stand it up wright, in the Case ..... if your going to hang them' put something at the bottom that takes Pressure off the neck or a bass stand that holds 5 or so many basses, leaving them in cases does not do anything to a finish, that is the painter they Painted the Instruments with Enamel then put Lacquer on top and buffed them out this crack's in time, and also kept them in a building with no temp control left them in Vegas ect areas of extreme heat like in a building the temp gets 140+ or more for a long time ect baking them making the plastic bridal and or a cheap plastic, ya know what the temp does to Items out there in those states, This is just my opinion what you do is yours,.. LOL I tried to make this short LOL

Ask all those people who left old Les Pauls in the case and the tuners broke down and the gasses goofed up the finish - due to leaving in cases.
I agree on hanging - but cases are for transporting them around.
Mine sit in stands when at home - to look at and ease to play.

Just scored a MINT 2012 USA Standard P'. Plays great! But I do realize I'm more of a Jazz player.
@LennyJ , good idea with the towels! The padding of a stand may seem safe with one finish but that doesn't mean it is safe with all. Towels seem to be a safer bet.
