Show us your "office"

Here's the thread wherein all you low-enders show off your practice space, be it basement, bedroom, or professional studio. Post your bass cave!
Here's my little corner-

Here's the drummer's space-

And the guitarist's vintage Sunn spot-

And finally, the songwriting/laundry folding futon. My wife probably wants her laundry room back...

Now let's see where you get to work!

Here's a shot of my MESSY "studio" at home. I swear its cleaner than this. It's the second bedroom at me and my girlfriend's place.

I just use a laptop and a Line 6 Toneport (not pictured). It's decent enough setup to jot ideas down or jam out with a couple friends. No drums in there, obviously. That's my 62 P sitting on the chair though, so at least this photo is good for something

It's a 60's/70's Japanese guitar from one of those massive factories that slapped them together using the same parts and put different names on the headstock. There were hundreds of brands from that era.

The name on the headstock is "Bradford". Couldn't find any info about it anywhere online.

I got it real cheap, and, well...it plays and sounds like it...

It's got a pretty good surf rock tone, and it can get beefy with the flip of one of it's 1000 switches/dials.

My main problem with it is, the PU's stick up so close to the strings, you hit them with your pick. It's weird...and it's not like I could drop some new PU's in there, the routing is too large.

From upstairs...

Guitarist is playing through a crappy PA because he broke his amp, and the replacement isn't in yet.

I guess I'll get a picture of mine.

ZippyButton · #15 07-22-2010, 03:17 PM

I definitely played my six string through that same PA throughout my college band days. It was loud enough, but not particularly pretty.

Yeah, it's loud. He hates it, but he doesn't have much choice. If I keep the Hartke/Ashdown turned down to about 1.5 on the master volume, he can even be heard over me.

I used to have the exact same silvertone tube amp you got that in that picture.

The actual office:

That pics about 2 years old, right after we moved in. I've moved my SVT/8x10 into this room since my old bands practice space closed.

I still keep my B15/pedal board in the living room for at home practices:

This is from the space closing party we had - the landlord made it into his photo studio:

My original band's new practice space. They have a control room behind the wall and behind the point from which the picture was taken is office area.

My cover band practices in a basement, don't have any pictures.
