I'm in a bluesrock/harder rock cover band at the moment. I used to be in punk, metal and alternative bands.

Besides my 12 Rick's I have
- Klira 162-3
- Squire Katana (first bass)
- Bach Precision
- ahum, thats it at the moment. (I also had 2 Warwick's, NS WAV, Epi Rivoli, Gibson G3, Ashbory in the past but they did not get much playing time next to my Rickenbacker's.)

For My Rick's I have at least one and max 2 fitting cases (not counting amplifiers). The rest is caseless. My instruments are within reach divided between the 2 rooms where I'm most; the living room and the music/computer room and the Bach bass lives at my Drummers house at the moment.

LOL! I moved into a new house last year, smaller than the previous one, and it definitely became an issue! Right now I have most of them stacked in the closet of my "music room"...

I've been wondering if I should be stacking my cases instead of having them all standing on one (body side) end of the case. Seems like stacking is better cause it's less weight on the padding...unless you're the bass on the bottom. Thoughts?

I seem to remember hearing that you shouldn't stack them flat on top of each other, or at least not with the instruments inside...

...I wouldn't do it that way, either. I stand them vertically next to each other.

For those who did not recognize him, this is the guy who got -at least- me buy Rickenbackers. He even got a signature model himself.
