Show off your bass room

[organworthyplayer337]

We bought a house 6 months ago and now the noisemakers have their own room.

No matter how crappy the cell phone pic looks, the gear still looks good on my screen Lol

I'm actually in the middle of building a new one.

The purple room... it's a 7'x11' bedroom in a house built in 1955 I'm in the process of fixing up (Link Removed)

I'm doing a bit of sound proofing and prepping it for recording.

I've got a bit of work to do yet

Thanks for 'liking' my post organworthyplayer337! Here is what is looks like now:

I'm having a hard time guessing what color you like...

 

[kodiakblair]

Once it was nice and ordered

Then it grew and the couch

Well the Couch had to go to make room for this

Then this

Yes it does extend to the righthand wall.Another stand had to be got. Currently there are 46 basses squatting in my spareroom in two tiers, 6 multi stands, 3 A frames and 2 wall hangers. The room's not big enough for me to stand back and fit them all in the lens.With 2 incoming next month it pains me to say this but yes " sometimes there's just too much bass "

I hope Life treats You and Yours Kindly all through 2015

wow...what a great family! Do all those kids fight ?

I just acquired my....4th...bass in 25 years. Looks like I have some catching up to do!

Sweet!!

 

[kodiakblair]

Thanks very much xUptheironsx.

They're very well behaved. Treats like decent strings and a lemon oil rub help but the ginger cat keeps them in line.

BTW Peas in a Pod is a damn fine tune

overkill but nice!

Here's mine. Just bought a new house with a converted carport that I've made into my music room. Still a work in progress. As soon as I get some extra funds I need to run more power into the room. I also want to put up some nice blinds. I'll probably get a drum set too.
I love that I can back my car right up to the door which makes loading and unloading my gear very easy.

I love that idea!
What a great room.
And, yeah, blinds would be a high priority from a security standpoint.

A thought: you could use conduit to run power instead of drillng through the brick.
It's less hard work and you could hide it with moldings/paint.

Mine live in three rooms...bedroom, den and bassment. This photo of just the basses is taken in the living room because there is a soft couch to lay them on. A little info about the collection follows...

I haven’t done a “family photo” in a few years and there have been several changes. I’m relatively happy with the current lineup. From left to right (which happens to be Fender evolution sequence – Fender, Musicman, G&L and lastly the Fender clones):

• Mustang reissue with Nordstrand pickup 5% overwound, Audere Pro-Z preamp and custom pickguards from Axetreme Creations (“real” tort with Mustang Cobra car markings).
• Stingray HH Ball Family Reserve with clear pickguard and custom backplate from Axetreme Creations (tire tread background with Stingray car markings). No other modifications.
• G&L M2500 with third pickup, splitting switch and custom backplate from Axetreme Creations (tire tread background with Super Bee Six Pack car markings).
• Self-made ”Doner Designs” Jazz bass clone. Dubbed the Old 442 bass after its four band preamp, four pickups and two coils per pickup. Old refers to the body which is from my first Squier bass. Allparts neck, Dimarzio J pickups, Willpower Neck pickup, Audere 4 band preamp, Babicz bridge, Wilkinson tuners and custom Marcus Miller style pickguard from Axetreme Creations (red tort with Doner Designs logo on the front and Oldsmobile 442 car markings on the backplate).
• Self-made “Doner Designs” 72 P bass clone. Warmoth body and neck. Mahogany body, birdseye top, tung oil finish, wenge neck, macassar ebony fingerboard, burled walnut pickguard, maple knobs, Nordstrand NP4a, Audere 4 band preamp, Babicz bridge, Hipshot Ultralight tuners. Too classy to get a car theme alter-ego.
• Spectorcore fretless (on the couch) with SGD Lutherie Neo pickup, stock piezo pickup in bridge and dual Audere preamps – one for the magnetic pickup and one for the piezo.

All have LaBella 1954 flats and Hipshot X-tenders. All except the Mustang and the 5 string are strung BEAD.

The car theme commemorates my previous hobby which was a little more expensive than bass collecting. I had a Mustang Cobra and a Corvette Z06 (not a Stingray) at one time. The Super Bee Six Pack name is a tie in to the 3 dual coil pickups and the color which fits the Mopar cars of the late 60’s when my Dad worked for Chrysler.

Amp rigs not shown are Markbass. One is an Alain Caron signature amp and the other is a mini stack of the 1x12 combo with a 1x12 extension cab.

Here's 3 pics..I couldn't decide which one was best.....

My pic would look like kodiakblair's, except less organized. Gotta clean up some, but in my house, the number of non-bass rooms is << the number of bass rooms.

Awesome moog pedal!

Awesome moog pedal!

The pedal is actually a Korg MPK-130 (ala Geddy). It's hooked into a MOOG Minitaur (clamped to the table on an adjustable arm - right side). I got a MOOG sticker when I bought the Minitaur, which is what you see on the pedals. The MOOG sounds are amazing and a lot of fun to play with. Combined with the Ric, they're very handy for Prog. They can loosen fillings, though....

I just finished mine about two months ago, at least phase one.

I posted photos of my rehearsal room on page ten, in 2012. I said at the time that it was a work in progess, here are some more recent photos to show how far that it has come.
