Sterling stuff Markus. Those boards and the light just work.
(Do you actually own a carpet or sofa?)
He he he! Thanks man! Yeah...I have two sofas, and one room with carpet...but I just sit on my sofa.

Great photos, and I love the simplicity.
BTW, do Lakland basses use graphite support rods in their necks?
Thanks very much! All Lakland US basses (4 and 5 string), and Skyline 5 string models do.
Phew, that's a relief! I thought that I'd upset you there for a minute
.Sure, they're KRK Rokit 6 studio monitors (Link ...), which work really well as hi-fi speakers in my apartment, as the rounded shape of the room and the lack of soft furnishings tend to make 'normal' hi-fi speakers sound like soft junk
. (Hey, "Soft Junk" would be such a cool name for a band, don't you think 
!?).Hhrmmph
! Anyway, They are active speakers, so I have to plug each one onto the mains and then use the pre-amp output from my hi-fi amp to run them. It's a shame in a way, as my NAD amp sounds pretty good when pre meets post (hmm, "pre meets post" - maybe a good title for 'Soft Junk's' first album ), but I never get to hear that these days.Mine are the model before the ones in the link I posted, so here's a shot of them, somewhat detracted from by those nasty Fender Custom Shop P Basses (
) ...Great sounding speakers, provided that they're standing on something solid.
Er, um ... my ENTIRE house is only about 35-40 feet wide.

Say what
!? You're in Texas man, for God's sake! Everything is UTTERLY MASSIVE in Texas - I know, my geography teacher told me ! Wowzer! Lurvely pics, Markus! You could try shifting the white balance to a 'warmer' setting, if you're concerned about the lighting being too cool for that (already very cool
) Läkland 
. It would look something like this ...I hope that you don't mind me playing about with your photo, Markus, but if you do, just send me a quick PM and delete this part of the post.
It's a really good photo (as are the other two), so it deserves to be adjusted to look the way that you want it to, IMHO
. That said, I don't really know how you want it to look - I'm just guessing and trying to assist. I really hope that I don't offend you .

Bwahahahaaaaaaa! Your teacher was only talking about our @sses from the barbecue, fried food, and beer.
My humble abode is only 1,200 sq ft. Perfect size for just me.
I liked the picture before but love this! I really like the color it brings out in the floor and kind of makes the bass glow. Almost like a subtle HDR effect. I'm sure warming a picture up can be done in most photo programs but can I ask what you used to do this?
Thanks! No offense taken. Personally I think your adjustment looks too yellow/pink to me. Comes down to preference, but I am extremely comfy working with photoshop as I do it for a living. I like the contrast of dark colder wood floor, and warm bass color....and cold chrome.

Ha, ha! Talk about 'putting one's foot in it'!I'm sorry Markus, I had no idea what you meant about " the light not being ideal for photography" and (wrongly) assumed that you were referring to the warm vs. cold elements of the light, rather than the harshness of the window light (which is how I am now interpreting your remarks
).Anyway, I apologise again if I came across as trying to teach you to suck eggs. I'm only a 'hobbyist' where photography is concerned and don't even have (official) Photoshop software, so I was really taking a chance by offering you the 'benefit of my wisdom'
!Still, I love your bass, as well as your photographs of it
.(Jeez, I'm glad that I don't post here often - perhaps this will have blown over by the time I come back again
).
He he he! No biggie at all man! Love the discussion! So cool that there is a thread like this to view all these great photos!
