Yup. My basement studio. I'm gonna gig it with my MTD 535-24 in a few weeks though.
WOW!!! I want a basement like that. I'd never leave it, though.
It's Not pretty or fancy but it's got everything that I need.
Nice setup! That Bergantino NV610 is making me miss the one I had and stupidly sold.

That's amazing. My plumber said not to put too much work into my basement studio-- no rugs or anything. Said he's seen too many get flooded in my area. I've got the bare minimum BUT it's away from the family and I don't have to put everything away every time!
I stupidly sold my first one. Bought another several years ago. Not going anywhere.
This is the one I had 20 years ago. Still miss it. Think I sold it someone here.
Some of you may remember the Marcus tribute build that never happened some years back. Well, the build happened, but it was never brought to market. I think there was a picture of the back of it hanging in the shop circulating at some point... I do wonder where the physical bass wound up. Maybe it tuned into a Christmas present for Marcus instead?

First rehearsal with a new band tomorrow after Covid and moving to a new city. I’m very excited to see how the bass performs 
I'm intrigued by the Tyler Amp B-15 thingy.
Very cool amp. Not loud enough for my gigs but a terrific studio amp. Based off a Marshall Superbass 100 circuit. It will really nail that Motown thump tone too.
I could never afford a NYC Sadowsky so I was intrigued when they released the Metro Express line a few years ago. I took the chance on the reviews that the new generation is much improved over the first generation ones and took the plunge. (Thanks for the Sweetwater financing!)
So far I’m loving it and I get the hype. I did replace the pre with the drop in one with the VTC and it makes a world of difference. I still love my Stingray but I have another tool in the shed. Many compliments on the tone from the band and sound men.
I’ve struggled with “jazz” basses in the past though. I love how they play and feel but couldn’t get a tone I really liked but the ME has a nice growl and bite to it. My only slight complaint is I wish the active and passive levels were more balanced. The 18mm spacing works fine for me and I love the feel of the roasted maple neck which I also loved on my Ray.

That V6 is going nowhere.If you ever decide to offload that v6, I’m your guy!
Oh and badass bass, too! Haha
And I really put the Sadowsky through its paces last night. 2 full sets.
Super happy with it.
