And a Family Photo for good measure (some of the other members are at a rehearsal space)

clever using an entertainment center for your setup
I just have a hand me down end table as an amp stand

I agree, Warwick, thats an awesome setup! I will have a Thumb 5er someday.. I will. ;)

Thanks lads. I like having my effects within arms reach when I'm at home practicing. That way I don't have to bend over to make adjustments, or clumsily use my feet. It also keeps things really tidy.

It does make things a little cumbersome when tearing down to go to rehearsals.

EDIT: The MB2-500 makes a great practice amp with -15db pad engaged and the master volume and gain barely up. :smug:
 
woo, first time posting. yeah so I'm a guitarist, what of it? <_<

Left to right..: Japanese Strat, Excel Acoustic (lol, it surprisingly plays and sounds excellent.), Ibanez RGEXFM1, Fender Concord II acoustic, "Sawyer" fretless Jazz bass, built it ground up myself, and a '98 Peavey 4-string. Not the most impressive collection, but I love em all. :)

i'm really digging the one you built yourself... Is it hollow-body or are the f-holes just for looks? Something about it... I just... want...

Lol, well you see, the bass was my brothers back in the early 90s. (I'm only 16, he's 28 now.) And it originally had frets. He defretted it, and sanded the body down. He then left it at that, and all the parts but the machine heads, body neck and pickguard were lost over the years. So later on when I was like 14 or so, I picked it up, and (like an idiot) had the body's heel re-routed for a fretted P-bass neck that I got from a friend (along with the bridge thats on it right now). So later adfter that I got the peavey for like $75, so I decided to turn Sawyer back into a fretless. so I ghetto's the neck back on (wood filler, aaaaaaw yeah. lol), and it plays great now. And it is a solid body, the f-holes were just cut for looks, and I suppose they make it lighter as well. Sorry I drew out your answer so much.. :p
(Oh, the bass is technically a "Series 10," and it has an ultra warm Duncan single J-pickup.)
 
I really love the look of that Warwick. :cool:

It's not my cup of tea tonewise, but it's so simple and beautiful.

Yeah, I love the clean looks. It sounds great too, through my Boss ME-50B. Smooth beefy middle with a growly low end and the highs are just pure and nice. I love the low tech aspect of it. I figured why get all the extra control on the the bass when it can all be done on my pedal board. It's not as punchy as my Ibanez but hey it's a fretless. It's not what I bought it for. I'm mostly a finger funk, jazz and experimental rock player.
