Guitar Hangers on Amp

I'm not sure if this would work on a regular half-stack, cuz of the height, but I can hang a bass on here, too, with this extra tall Bassman 'pyramid' cab.

Just a couple cheap hangers from Wally World and a couple pieces of 2X4, weighed down by the Bassman 100 head (the Bassman was heavy enough, the Peavey PA was added, after)

JFP,

1. Very cool amp grills
2. I'd engineer somekind of failsafe for when the drummer comes stumbling through and knocks the head off, instead of just relying on the weight of the head to hold the 2x4s down
3. I take three for my heartache

1. Right?
2. lol
3. And the men who hold high places must be the ones who start

Watch out for those black foam-rubber covered neck hangers. They're fine for occasional use, but I have several on which I've left guitars sit for a few months. I then ended up with the neck stuck to the black rubbery stuff, such that a black residue was left on the neck once I finally picked it up again. This does come off, but is messy and unsightly. So, my fix for that was old tube-style athletic socks, cut to fit around the hanger, so the neck is resting on cotton instead of the rubber.

This was a while back. I did something similar, except I screwed the 2 x 4s to the wall. This is the wall that you can't see from the rest of the house, where I hide the ugly orange one that will never be seen in public.



And the rest of my functional electrics...except for the Les Paul, the retired "baritone" strat, the lefty, and the kid's Wolverine Peavey... The bookshelf was taller when I installed them, and I didn't bother to cut the boards to actually fit.

Whats the bass with the sunburst?

Nobody knows! The body, hardware, and electronics are quite definitely from one of those 70s Korean hobbies where it doesn't really matter which brand it was because they all came from the same factory. The neck didn't seem to quite match, but I'm starting to think it might actually be original. The decal on the headstock is in no shape to tell us anything. I posted it a while back, but we didn't get any closer.

It's shortscale and cost me $80 with a brand new set of strings (so, what, $40 for the guitar itself?). I usually keep it tuned up to A, but for my Big Black cover band I drop it to standard and it rattles just right! It was originally wired as many of these guitars were - pickups in series and a slide switch to short each, then master V and T. I removed the switches so they're hardwired in series and swapped the pots for rotary switches that add different caps in parallel with or short the individual pickups. The pickguard is all busted up, so I printed the words "we do what we like" (as in Jordan, MN) on some contact paper and stuck it on there. Then I bled all over it.

It actually sounds and plays really well, but I hate that sunburst. One of these days imma strip it down and paint it. Can you guess what color it'll be?

Ah, I might remember that thread. The curvy-ness of the horns reminds me of a Burns.

Ash sees a sunburst and he wants to paint it black

Let's see, Em to Bm to . . wait a minute, isn't there a Maj to min in there somewhere?

The bass says Univox Hi-Flyer to me, circa 1972 or so. I forget what we concluded in the other thread, if anything.

On second look, no, not a Hi-flyer:


That's the Eastwood modern copy, but it's a fairly accurate repro.

For my experimental headless guitars I use a guitar neck friendly polyurethane tubing 5/8"OD instead of rubber






I wonder how to shrink my guitars to decent size?
