With your Bass, ON TalkBass?

Just out of curiosity...

Do any of you have your bass strapped on / on your lap when you're on TalkBass? I know I do it quite frequently, but what about you?

I'm usually plugged into the bass trainer with a set of wireless headphones on.

I almost never do. I have an instrument with me when I'm practicing and I'm totally focused on practicing. When I'm done, I put it away and that's that. =p I hung them all up on the wall now though. Looks good. They like it up there. Good view I guess.

To answer the question, rarely. I can't actually remember a time in particular when I did, honestly.

I do 90% of my TB'ing from work. When I have time to play my bass at home, the last thing I need is to be distracted by this place.
