Show off your bass room

My instrument storage rack came from Menards, the plywood for the shelves from The Home Depot and the carpet runner on the shelves from Lowes...

The amp wall. It appears that guitar amps currently out number bass amps...

And, I generally leave the MarkBass CMD121P in front of the entertainment center where I plug my laptop in to practice.

After years of having 4 kids take up most all our living space and me having to grab my CD player and headphones and use whatever room was unoccupied at the moment, with both my sons gone now, I finally have my own office and practice space. :hyper:

Better shot of the rig and bass in the room (which obviously is the most important part of the room. ;))

Was wondering when the first fEARful would show up.

Good one, Sundogue!!

Thanks. My own 210/6 designed cab sits under it. It was the pre-cursor to my 15/6 build and shares a lot of similarities (to which I think of it as a fEARful lite). The fEARful is superior, but when I used two of my 210/6 cabs they were/are killer too.

Obviously in that little office I can't turn up the fEARful very much. I might though in the Spring when I get to some remodeling and need to demolish one wall. :D
 
My home office serves many purposes... bass guitar room... computer room... cat sanctuary. :D

It looks like you've been called out on the carpet by an executive meeting of the basses. So, were you given a promotion or did you receive a proper dressing down?
 
I like this idea and have considered it. But wow, it you don't get the screw into the stud there will be tears for sure.

This product is from hercules...

... I like the fact that the instrument gets locked in.


I have this exact setup and did not use a stud, just went to Home Depot and got the kind of fasteners used to install bathroom cabinets! Very long thick screws with expanding fasteners on the inside of the wall. Pretty solid. And the hercules holders work crazy good.
 
So after stolling through all the pages in this thread the cynic in me is compelled to ask...is this about who has the biggest, coolest house or is this about who has the biggest, coolest bass/gear collection? LOL.

M. M. :)
 
So how are you liking that Ovation Typhoon? They peek my curiosity only because I see them so rarely.

Good eye, especially with my blurry camera resolution.

I got it a few months ago and was pleasantly surprised by quite a few things with the Ovation. It is very well appointed for dialing in the set-up. It is nice and light at 7.1 pounds. The Typhoon’s semi-hollow body has surprising volume unplugged, but it really shines when DeArmond single coil pickups are fired up. This is one of the few basses I enjoy with the tone turned all the way down - still rich and dark.

Okay here you go

Basses are kept in front closet. Door has been changed to a fire proof metal door with a password protected electronic deadbolt system. also inside I have the Lenox Home Security camera with night vision on a digital recorder so if you get in, you will be recorded and if you steal from me and I find you I will cut off your thumbs. Yeah am working it out in therapy ha ha ha

Wouldn't the fire proof part be a little silly since the closet itself isn't actually fireproof? Good idea either way. Perhaps we should start a "paranoid bassist" thread. :hiding:
