My New Studio Build (perhaps overly detailed)

I bet that the cats will love climbing on the acoustic treatments. From their perspective, you built a wonderland full of interesting surfaces just for them.

You can’t blame them, you like climbing as well. :laugh:
While it’s true that they WOULD enjoy climbing on them. The reality is that they’re not allowed in the studio.
 
I’m up on Orcas Island for my wife’s birthday. We’ve been hiking and indulging in too much good food, and yet somehow my mind keeps wandering back to the studio. So... Sunday I’m going to hammer out the trim paint first thing. Break for breakfast and a haircut at 11:00. When I get back and the paint has dried enough I’m going to build these little corner trim pieces for the corner bass traps and then get to hanging acoustic treatments. If all goes well I’ll finish hanging the treatments on New Year’s Day, and SHOULD have enough time to move into the main room. I’ll be cutting it close, but I’m hoping it’s possible.

Time to push! :bassist:
 
...and it begins.

Somehow the treatments look like a modern form of hieroglyphics crossed with braille. I wonder if there are cryptic messages hidden in the patterns of that art.
They look like a repeating pattern. I’m guessing some sort of binary alien language. Probably a cure for all our earthly ills.
A pre CBS P-Bass tort pickguard will most likely provide a Rosetta Stone-like translation.
