Very cool, man! So glad you and Jesse hooked up. It’s good all around.
I heard that! Beautiful, beautiful gifts to the world.
Fun Shark fact
Sharks are older than trees.
Sharks - 400 millions years old
Trees - 385 million (Wattieza)
Meh…
Dayum… some nice hardware all around! But… it looks like you need stuff on the walls also Something classy for sure, perhaps a cool Jaco print!?!
Accurate read from a small snapshot. I have yet to find anything to hang on a wall (and I love art). #minimalist

Can you do it while wearing oversized headphones?

I’m with you, man. I don’t have a thing on my walls in my music room. Lots of instruments all around, though, which are the only art pieces I care about.
I very much miss my music room and having to put everything away every time I play got old a long time ago. Hall closet is full. Under the master bed is full. Cases standing at the foot of the bed. Pedalboards everywhere in case or bag. I’ve actually contemplated getting a temperature controlled storage unit, making a master inventory and just rotating things every couple weeks. The cost may justify the household peace and organization.

This is actually a problem for me. I have bare walls and a large glass panel right behind me. It’s the worst possible environment for room dynamics for audio… lots of loud and dead spots from reflected and reinforcing/interfering sound waves all over the room. It’s terrible, makes me want to hang blankets or something.
Acoustic panels on the wall, maybe?
They would go a long way to damp the acoustics, plus make your space look pretty badass pro.
Yeah I need something like that. The real problem is the glass behind me though. It’s better if I open the cabinet doors so at least there’s a workaround there.
The real problem is the glass behind
I’ve worked in recording studios that used heavy drapes when the glass to the engineer was possibly causing too much bounce. And, of course, drapes/curtains are retractable when you want daylight or just wanna look outside.
Back in my college days I and my then-wife rented a sprawling old house with my best friend and his girlfriend. There had been another couple also in on the deal, but we took over their bedroom and set it up as our rehearsal room when they moved out.
The acoustics were live AF. So being the young bohemian musicians we were, we scrounged a couple of old bed mattresses to cover the windows. We even went the extra mile and bought a military surplus parachute and secured it to the light fixture in the middle of the ceiling, then thumb-tacked it to the perimeter of the ceiling. In no time, our music room was deader than Fred. So we just turned our amps up until they still blew the hair off our neighbors’ heads, but, man, it sounded so good inside those four walls!
I had my antique upright piano in there, my tenor and alto saxes, and my two basses. Between my buddy and me, we owned almost as many guitars as @Al1885 has basses. We made a lotta noise.
The board looks great @booker_t !
I see you picked up the Aguilar Filter Twin and look forward to seeing what you think.
Congratulations on getting together. That’s pretty cool.
@eric.kiser That is a board filler (2nd choice) in case I don’t get the Proton when they are released this week. If I get the Proton I won’t have to tell you about the Twin (you’ll tell me).
Edit: The board is ALL Jesse. He showed up with a table, hard hat, protractor… well, he did have a table.
Oh hey! Wow! That’s a setup. Love to hear how the Yin & Yang sound out of that. SaWeet!
Wow, @Reasonably_Happy, Jesse man your beard is Epic!
