I’m probably an idiot for never having thought of this on my own, but I was just watching Flea’s rig rundown a minute ago, and this is how his tech stored the strapped up basses. My strap length is much shorter than Flea’s, so it does not work as well, but you get the idea.
I think it’s pretty cool, I no longer have to worry about accidentally stepping into them when walking past the stand.
Hmmmmm. I’ve tripped over a few things in my music room, but have yet to trip over a strap on one of my basses on the rack.
I guess this is a good solution if that’s a problem.
This is what it used to look like before today’s revelation. It’s right next to the door, and it was pretty easy to step into them, especially in the dark.
Ah okay, I see what the issue is now, and can see how you might trip over them. I always just tuck the straps toward the back when parking them on the rack, so I’ve not had that problem.
Also, I notice your rack appears to be in a traffic area, so tripping could well be a problem.
That’s a cool idea.
Since most all of mine are on quick connect straplocks, I just got an over the door rack to hang them on.
Nothing like an organized mind . . . or an organized strap storage 
I would sprawl out on that sofa, and wind up knocking myself into tomorrow on one of those headstocks. 
Great idea @akos !
I’ve lost count how many times my wife has complained about my bass straps being a hazard since she has had to use a walking frame.
She even made me move my hard cases from behind the sofa. I just can’t comprehend how some people are just not up for a challenge
I use Schallers, so I just take them off. Only takes a second to put the strap on each end. Only need one strap that way too.
(I do have two straps but really only use one.)
Same here. I have two straps, but one of them is the cheap Dunlop strap I got with my first bass. It doesn’t have strap locks attached to it, and I only keep it around as backup.
I don’t have a problem because I put my basses in the rack facing the other way.
The rack is on the right side of my practice space, so this is more aesthetically appealing as well.
Also, if I grab a bass by the neck with my left hand across the front of my body it comes out of the rack ready for me to slip the strap over my head and rock out. 
Yeah I’ve tried that too, but they looked silly that way, facing the wall.
Maybe I should move into the apartment next door, which is a mirror image of mine…
I started there too but then did not like the way it looked either.
Then when added the extra 5 holders to the rack … no room for straps anyway.
A great idea to take them off completely.
Me too! I only have 2 straps… I don’t waste money on straps that I could be spending on basses 
Same, two straps, and I might sell one 
That’s funny because I have 2 straps, they’re identical and I’ve only ever used one of them 
Wow that’s clever. I’ll have to give it a go. I’ll also post a pic of my ‘tecknieeck’ lmao
Hey nice stand! “Mm, verrry nice how much?” (Borat)
I have that same stand. Sweetwater has them in the $50-$60 range
