ianrendall Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Where do you store your bass stuff? Do you have a separate wing in your mansion? A temperature controlled outbuilding? A spare room converted to a music room with your babies lined up on display on the wall or in stands with a wall of amps and cabs? Me? My wife has graciously allowed me literally a gig bag sized space in a cupboard by the chihuahua’s bed with a space on half a blanket box which is just the right size for a Barefaced Midget with my Promethean head on top of that in its little bag. My music stand and guitar stand hidden under the bed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 My microphone / keyboard and guitar stands live in the cupboard by the door, 5 basses live in the living room on hooks, 2 gig bags live in the cupboard under the stairs, almost everything else lives in my office upstairs, which is small and very crowded.

barkin Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 5 minutes ago, ianrendall said: I live in a bungaloid Doesn't matter. Whatever space you're allocated, it's always a bit too small. The overspill from under the stairs resides in the living room, conservatory and spare bedroom. And the car boot. And a mates house & garage.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Basses that aren't being used (on rota) under the bed, unused cabs in the hallway, everything else in my living room. Still need more room though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Another one for the spare room club. I have to move stuff into my bedroom to make enough space to get the sofa bed down when guests come. Edited January 19, 2018 by Cato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodiakblair Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Started off all I needed was one quiet corner in the wife's workshop (spare room). Now she's gone I've managed to fill the living room,spare room and the cupboard over the stairs. It's all good as the moggie only needs about 16" so he can curl up in front of the oil heater.

T-Bay Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Stack lives in the conservatory or rehearsal room as I like to call it, Basses mostly in the living room but a couple in the bedroom including the acoustic for last minute noodles before kipping.

Dom in Dorset Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Single, living alone , all gear in the living room, on the walls , on the floor, on racks, on the sofa. Maybe that's why I'm single? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Speakers and amp in the airing cupboard, two basses under the bed and one bass on a stand in the living room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeystrange Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Amps, cabs, pedals etc. In the living room - some under the stairs, some behind an armchair. Basses in the spare room in what was intended to be a built-in wardrobe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliwailer Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Bless IKEA, when we ‘designed’ 2 large sliding wardrobes I made a space for bass cases and gear, best thing I ever did bass storage wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Bass cave. Been a few additions since this was taken like a Fender P Deluxe, an Orange rig and a TE small rig. Edited January 20, 2018 by dmccombe7 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivansc Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I built a 3 room extension to our house many years ago. Dining room with vaulted ceiling for her, combined utility and dog room for dog & washing machine, studio for me. The only thing NOT music related in the studio is a bloody great double wide filing cabinet which wont fit anywhere else (according to SWMBO) but I can live with that. Oh and all music stands, mic stands, PA stands, etc., in the concrete shed safely snuggeds up in a large zipped keyboard nylon case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Burrito Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I live in a small 3 bedroom cottage; a bass & practice amp is in the living room (with strict instructions to the kids that if they want to reach adulthood, they don't knock it over), my bedroom has the basses lined up against the wall in cases and the amps are by the back door. The issue is I can't let the collection get much bigger as space is at a premium in this house. My wife is really cool about it all. The only compromise we've ever had is the bass in the living room gets moved to the other side of the room when the Christmas Tree goes up.

Paul S Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) My basses and home practice rig live in the spare room that I euphemistically call my 'office' where I also have all the office-a-bilia, pc, A0 drawing table, reference books etc. Everything else lives in a cupboard we had built under the stairs with spare cabs and head sitting on a wheeled dolly thing that slides into the depths easily. This is all going to change soon, though. We are thinking of having the closed stairs replaced with an open stair case which will look cool as flip (testing the profanity filter out) in our mid C20th styled home but leave all this clobber homeless.

Les Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 In the living room, in the spare bedroom, in the bands trailer, in the girlfriends spare bedroom, in the boot of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
