Japhet Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I'd have made the slidy thing for her clothes and put all my music gear in the wardrobe. Hope she never finds this post - I'll be living in the shed for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Really cool rack you have there. I like the chains too - dealing with the security issue. This does really make me aware how I'm lucky with Mrs G. I've got a 5-bass rack in the lounge. She likes it. She's even encouraged me to go buy a bass the other end of the country and we went off on 300 mile drive all to feed HER love of the sound of bubinga!

ColinB Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I hung my guitars and basses on wall hangers in the hallway - MrsB thinks they're excellent there and wants the same again when we move house. At the mo' they're down and in cases and the holes filled in 'cos we're moving in 2 weeks. .....and I have a [u]lot[/u] of ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKenrick Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I saw something similar on facebook a while back and it seems to be one of the best ways I've seen of 'hiding' basses from the missus...

Doctor J Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I didn't find one and the kit got sold a couple of years ago... which did increase the potential bass storage capacity, or BASTCA, if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
