nash Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Looking to get two of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000EEJGRK Any thoughts, experiences and suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 i've got the version with the wooden back plate, one in the living room with my beloved mcilroy acoustic on it and another in the study with my 77 precision on it, i think they're great, just make sure you fix them securely to the wall, they are only as good as the fixings you use, i ditched the supplied ones and used heavy duty ones. They're great as you always have an instrument to hand, i play far more now as there is always a bass or acoustic to hand. I should also say that my precision weighs 11 pounds and the hanger holds it just fine (unlike my poor back) Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I've got one of the wooden backplate ones too & I've not had any problems with it. Don't use the tiny little rawlplugs they supply with it though; make sure you fix it to the wall very securely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I have a couple - they are fine as long as the fixing to the wall is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrdirtyrob Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I've got one of the wooden-backed ones too. It's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soliloquy Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I use them, my 34" scale basses do seem to have grown to 35" scale basses though, due to gravity having its way on them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyc Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 they're pretty decent, especially as you've always got your bass right there ready to play... I'd have to agree about the fixings though... it held my 4 string fine, but a few weeks after i got my brand new USA deluxe Jazz V bass though i came home from work to find the whole thing had fallen off the wall... one screw snapped in half the other two just fell right out...

Soliloquy Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'm rubbish at anything DIY related, power tools scare the hell out of me. I made sure my dad fixed my brackets on the wall for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
