I’ve since sold that beautiful Pro V and added the Vintage Pro snd Classic Pro shown here. The old IV is slowly undergoing changes and will be something a bit different when finished.
Just came back from shopping, welcome onboard my first j-bass, JB62 CIJ:
I like how you hang your straps.
When I have an old bass I bought another one to play well....than another one that was lighter....and I said to me that's enought. Than I Addeed a Headless and a Fretless and .....a bargain and than....I'm at six and I say to me seven is enought...until the next one
You have MBS! Multiple Bass Syndrome! LOL!
I on the other hand only have a P-Bass, J-Bass, P/J Bass, 5 String J-Bass and vintage '67 EB-O. If I get near your 6 then I will start to worry!

Gee, I thought MBS = Multiple Bass Successes... 
My 2000ish MIM Precision...

I’ve been having some fun with my buddies cabin/lake bass. I brought it home to clean it up a bit and I’ve never been a huge fan of his strap as I often use it out there.
with that, I boiled the OG strings as I feel they have a bit of “character” for this unit. Gave it a simple wipe down and Oiled the FB.
I didn’t want to modify it from its “natural” state too much. Left all the rust on for Authenticity. Lol.
I felt my shoulder was gonna be looking for some relief next summer though so I did make a strap for it but it felt important to keep the original “strap” as part of it. Lol. Here is the bass and strap now

Here is a little something I have making it's way to me from Italy, a 1990 Manne fretless. It just landed in England this morning, should be with me soon.
Thanks. All of my guitars and basses use Schaller locks. So I bought 10 sets of the Fender buttons (cheaper than Schallers). I went to a local lumber reclaim place and bought a board and some Danish Oil. Very small wood screws for the buttons.
Here’s my new to me Spector Euro 4LX LH
These never come up second hand let alone in my favourite colour scheme and with the solid maple wings, very stoked!

Storing gig bags and straps drives me crazy.
I have a tendency to keep a few kicking around and they seem to occupy furniture I like to keep the dogs off of..... like all of it.
I think thats my wife’s least favourite part of me being a bassist
I'm lucky mine tolerates me randomly hanging them mm on walls throughout the house lol. Only time she said something was when I rearranged her pictures to mount one. Oops...
Nice. Same here. The basses are fine. It’s the gig bags she doesn’t like.
I have 7 bass hangers in our living room alone. Hehehehehheh.
