urbanx Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I kept mine in an unheated shed for about 5 years - absolutely fine. Now been in an unheated garage for 2.5 years - absolutely fine. It is a Marshall tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LITTLEWING Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Absolutely!! Sockets tarnish VERY quickly in outside humidity and sound like crap until you scrape the contacts bright and clean again. And a spider suddenly appearing on your dashboard doing 70mph to a gig doesn't go down at all well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Black Shed Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'm amp head and cab-less ATM, but new kit is on the horizon. How would you guys feel about gear in flight cases in the shed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesparky Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 The solution for the time being is that they're going into my son's wardrobe (it's pretty big). He's only 2 so he doesn't need all that space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1432981408' post='2786719'] Mert, I'm not sure I'd get away with basses on the living room wall. You're much braver than me to try that one on. [/quote] Mrs Zero loves the seven basses adorning our walls... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I have plans to store my amp in the shed. Surely it should be ok with insulated walls and boarded out, wouldn`t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I used to keep my cabs in the under stairs cupboard in our last house. Easy to dig out for rehearsals & gigs, but out of the way for normal life (plus it saved lugging it upstairs). The only downside was digging it out from under all the coats & stuff that got lobbed in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 My bass cabs used to get tucked side by side under this massive dinner table the last owner left in the house. It was the only place I could get them in and out easily for gigs. Nicely out of the way until you kneecapped yourself on the corner pieces while tucking your chair forward to sit down.

Handwired Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I have a rule that I apply to [i]all[/i] my musical equipment, It's only ever stored in an environment that I would be comfortable enduring myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtcat Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Converted my shed to a studio this year following arrival of baby as wife insisted the house was to be a music gear free space. Soundproofed, insulated, dry lined, plastered, double glazed, ventilated and alarmed. I use a humidity controller / air conditioner. Its more secure than the house, warmer and big enough that the whole band can rehearse in there. Now the wife complains constantly that she never sees me. She says I love the shed more than I do her. Clearly she's not as daft as she looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
