Bass room

[waynepunkdude]

As some of you may know I have just moved house and have some how convinced the other half to let me have a bass room.

I only moved in yesterday so it is in a bit of a state but I thought I should post a few pics as a starter.

That 6 string Bass you've got there looks awfully small compared to the others

Nice room, Wayne Where's the trombone hiding?

[lozbass]

Excellent - you have a very understanding partner!

Every room in my house - bar one - is a bass room (a situation that is remarked upon frequently by my partner...but she doesn't mind - wow!)

It's in the bath at the moment, I found an action man in it

I'm practicing with the mouth piece only ATM.

I was wondering about that. what kind of scale is it 22"? can't see you getting a nice fat tone from that! .

Anyway, nice one. Everyone should have a dedicated space where you don't have to tidy away so you can so less important stuff like eating, watching TV, sleeping etc.

(To be fair though, i'd describe it as more of a 'bass cupboard' than room, but it's your cupboard, and that's the main thing )




Edit: You learning the bone then wayne? cool. I just hope we don't loose you to the British Trombone Society forum. (Saying that, there's no chance coz it's dull, dull, dull over there )

One tip though, practice with the whole instrument. Without the rest of it you don't get the back-pressure and resonance. It's like playing bass unplugged. No, it's more like practicing on the fretboard without strings. Good luck with it.

Nice one - I got a bass room too ! It's great to have a proper space to make a mess in .

[EBS_freak]

Nice. Bass rooms for escaping reality are much underrated. Every bass player should have one. With an 8x10

Yeah just started learning, I will start practicing full instrument now it's all cleaned up

It's definitely a room as I get charged council tax on it

Cheers, that's the only bass I painted myself (so far)

The Ashdown sounds good but it's a bit loud so I may unplug one of the cabs so I can drive the amp a little more without pissing off the neighbours.

I like the stickered up bass. Reminds me of my old Dean bass. al la offspring stickers!

You can't go wrong with punk bands and skateboarding stickers

Once I get the spare roomdecorated, I'll have a bass room as well.

Currently every room is a bass room. Im sat in the living room and can see a big box of bass spares to my right and my Trace TVT9 guitar combo to my left that i use to practice new tunes

[7string]

I got a bass room as well.

It's great to have the support and understanding from the other half.

Am I the only person who finds this sentence funny?

No.

[Higgie]

I like the Fretless P!

I have a bass room...but it also doubles as my bedroom

[waynepunkdude]

[WarPig]

Too many basses Wayne, you need to sell me the SUB, VMJ and the white p
