String poll - what would you like to see in a rehearsal/recording studio complex?

Hive is definitely my facility of choice. Great guys, good customer service, lovely clean communal areas and really well equipped rooms

Yet to break a string in over 37 years of playing.  But I always keep the last set of strings removed from each bass in the case, as there’s a first time for everything.

I'd advise against tying up money in stock likely to sit unwanted for a very long time. 

Unless they are in a good location for passing trade as well, unlikrly given the nature of the business 

I try to avoid paying to rehearse whenever possible. We use pubs and clubs happy to have us in on a quiet night and maybe sell us a couple of pints. 

However right now that's not an option so I'm forced to pay. There is only one consideration when choosing a space, and that is price. Nothing else. 

Every penny I spend effectively comes out of the next gig money, and there's precious few of those to look forward to.
