The Scream Parlour Rack of Basses of Doom

[bovinehost]

My buddy Dan helped me install a new hanger system because let's face it, I had way too many basses on the floor in stands. Danger! You get to a certain point and you can easily fall over them. So we made martinis, broke out the power tools and this is what happened.

These are not all my EBMM basses, but rather what happened to be in the studio this weekend.

Top left to right:

1. 20th Anniversary SR5 with rather special top. Best Stingray 5 on earth, I promise. There are other 20th SR5s, but this one is one of a kind.
2. Flaming Biff Bongo 4HH, which I have been playing rather a lot lately. One of a kind, built for me by BP and the guys way back when Bongos were considered "unusual". (Sterling, revisiting this bass years afterward at my house: "You know, this is really a pretty good bass." )
3. Reflex 5HSS in Lamborghini Orange Burst. One of a kind? Sure! The one I grab these days when headed out to annoy people with live music.
4. Black Sapphire Bongo 5HH. One of the first Bongos and needs a new jack as I've abused it over the years in beer-stinky bars and so on. It converted a lot of non-believers and will never leave me.

Bottom left to right:

1. A F%nd%er which is not really mine anymore so don't even try it. (Good Hwy 1 P-bass, though.)
2. Big Al 5H in Sterling Silver with matching headstock. Yes, it rocks.
3. SBMM Ray34ca in Mint Green. You don't have one of these? Why not?

Yes, I realize how lucky I am.

Someday, Heinz will hang there again.

Isn't this fun?

Really nice Jack! I have 4 of my basses hanging because my "0ffice" is small. What a space saver, congrats on an awesome project.........

Very nice! I've got mine on wall hangers with 4" screws straight into the studs - don't think its going to budge haha. Has anyone else ever noticed that the perfect spacing to hang basses is the exact same as standard stud spacing in walls? Coincidence?

Very nice! It's great having them out - to admire and to reach for whenever the mood suits you!

I have four hung in my home "office" and the 2'x3' Bongo print in my work office so there's always good vibes around!

Very, very nice. How many martinis did it take?

 

[bovinehost]

Exactly one martini each during the process.

Afterwards, well, see, we weren't working or measuring anymore, so.......

Home decorating at its finest. You should be on one of those design shows my wife has on TV all the time! Very nice, Jack.

 

[kylierider]

Very nice. That 20th fiver sounds tasty I'd imagine.

 

[KevinM]

Nice rack, Jack.

 

[Psycho Ward]

Very nice Jack! But it makes me sad too, as I can't bring all my basses to Texas.

I put up a bunch of wall hangers this year but just don't feel comfortable having too many basses out at once. Not sure why, maybe because I like my Balls tucked away at night in their cases but it sure is nice to have some out on display!

 

[J Romano]

I consider my EBs hanging as art work for my office/studio!!!! Can't think of anything classier........

 

[Holdsg]

Artwork that can make your booty shake!
