Each string of a bass is under anywhere from 65lbs-85lbs of tension when tuned to pitch so hanging it or placing it in a stand exerts no more or less tension on the bass than already exists from the strings.

Absolutely!
You have helped me a great deal.
Obviously you have the experience I have been looking for regarding this issue.
I feel good about hanging my basses up now.
Thanks again friend!

Great, hang'em up with no worries my friend.
By the way Amazon has some pretty good deals on the hangers.

Same here. It was an instant buying decision. I like to recommend this bass and Jericho as a brand in general, because the quality and sound is outstanding for that price. Jericho does not sell via dealers . You buy directly from them and do not waste money on ditributors and local shops. I bet in that case the price would be easily doubled.

I bought 10 hangers that I'm not using, still in packaging. If anyone is interested in buying them cheap, PM me.
I like seeing my fellow bass player's basses and rig set up. I hope you don't mind me sharing my gear. My main bass is a custom built 5 string bass designed loosely on a Fodera but with way more bells and whistles (one of which is a built in pre-amp in the body). I also like to play my Fender American Pro Series 5 String Jazz bass. Both basses have their own unique sound and I totally love them.
My big stage rig is a Eden WT800 with 210 and 410 stacked cabinets. For smaller gigs I like to use my Markbass CMD 102P tiltback.

Just finished assembling this P-bass from secondhand and salvaged parts. Can't wait to plug it in...
Plugged it in for the first time. Wow! I've never had a "regular" Precision bass before, and I now finally understand why the tone is so popular. Killer midrange on these GZRs, and the tone knob is actually useful. Gonna take some time to get used to the wider neck (I prefer pencil-necked GL Jazz or Soundgear). Love the bridge cover; perfect palmrest for pick playing. I don't think I can go back to glossy pickguards after seeing how good this one looks.
Very pleased. This may be the best (and most traditional) Frankenbass I've ever put together.
Thanks..I've seen that also and I'll probably be seriously looking after the holiday season. No pa support for my church so wt800/410 would be good. I'm sure I'll find that rig when I start my search.
You didn't read the instructions in your bass manual? Example, "Purchase largest mailbox available".You have a large mailbox!

It needs its own road? I missed that in the manual!
..... so that’s how I get one of those 8x10 cabs.
