SR5 storage question

[sandaas]

Hello guys!

I'm a newbie in the forum, dec 2004, and haven't yet properly introduced myself, so I thought I'd use this oportunity to do so

I'm 27years old, live in Oslo-Norway and have been playing in various local bands for about 10years now. I mostly play rock, often mixed with funk or jazz, and recently also electronica (with LIVE bassguitarplaying of course ). Bought my first EBMM instrument last december and haven't played much on my other basses since then. .
REaaly loves the sound and feel of it, it's an SR5 with a natural finish

The question;

I'm living in a small apartment with not much space left, and a friend of mine suggested I'd hang my basses on the wall on "guitarhangers" to save space.
I'm a bit sceptical to do this even though I see guitarshops do it. I've asked several guitarsellers and they all give different ansvers.

Can this be harmful to the instrument in any way?

All help and visdom higly appreciated

Thanks, hansmarius.

Thats what I keep both my Stingray and MIA P-bass on. Very efficient. No harm that I know of. In fact, I'd think that it would help protect the neck from moving.

I hope there are no issues w/guitar hangers - a couple
of mine have been hanging for almost 10 years. Still
play & sound great

I believe the only issue might be someone removing it from the hanger that wasn't supposed to.

I don't believe it would be at all harmful to your bass.

Man what the hell is that avitar? I dig it... kinda looks like a gel cap.

Since I can't make a living slapping my basses, I manufacture generic pharmaceuticals to pay the bills & buy more EBMM basses. I thought
the avitar was fitting, a drunken capsule-man (reminds me of me).

Ok, thanks for the advices guys!
I'm going to buy some hangers and put them on the wall
Will make the room & walls look much nicer too
