I suppose preference is the only answer, try one if you haven't already

I've got the JJ version. It's a stupendous bass. Sad you got to let it go but would recommend it to any potential buyer

[quote name='RhysP' post='502734' date='Jun 1 2009, 06:14 AM']As far as temperature is concerned, the thing that will play havoc with instruments is being subjected to rapid changes in temperature.
Leaving them hanging on wall mounts in a cold room then heating it up quickly when you go out to the room to play will not do your guitars any favours. In this sort of environment you're much better off leaving the instruments in their cases.[/quote]

It's not a big room so storing guitars in their cases wouldn't be ideal. I'm planning to use the room daily so it's also the inconvenience of taking the guitars out of their cases and putting them away again each day. That said my priority is obviously looking after my instruments, so I will do what I need to.

The room is approx 2.5m x 2.1m. Approx 2.4m high, with no natural light.

More thought would be welcomed.

Congrats on getting your own muisc room...........I would kill to have my own space...........

Thanks, I've a 10month old girl and partner with ears like batfink. I just had to get out of the house for reasons of sanity.

Thanks for the responses, they've helped me to look at things from a different angle. I was originally thinking more just temperature than humidity.

There will definately be poor air flow in the room which will, as you've suggested, cause damp. If I were to use a humidifier and a std electric heater, would this solve any damp issues and enable me to hang my guitars rather than put them in cases?

I really should know the answer to this at my age!!

Thanks again

Hi All

I've split my garage in half and built a practise room/poor man's studio. It's double brick with breeze block splitting the garage from the music room. I've used std insulation, sound insulating plasterboard on the false ceiling and four walls and concreted the floor. The music room has seperate access through an external wood side door.

I am planning to hang my two electric guitars from the wall but I'm also thinking of putting an acoustic bass and guitar in there. I was thinking of some kind of heater with a thermostat to warm the room when it got below a certain temperature? The room does stay cool in warm temperatures so I'm not that worried about it getting too warm.

Could anybody offer me any advice on this?

One last bump

Seriously for £180, you can not go wrong!!!

Have a bump Linus..[/quote]

+1 - lovely bass the price

[quote name='Etienne' post='485064' date='May 11 2009, 01:51 PM']What an amp- wish it could be mine!

OPTIMISTIC EDIT: How about a trade for my Tacoma Thunderchief ABG? [/quote]

That wouldn't be a bad deal actually. I love the Tacoma

I suppose the simplest solution would be to put my guitar through the bass amp and keep it. I'll have a mess around and see what it sounds like.

Straight swop, no messing.

[quote name='neepheid' post='397686' date='Feb 2 2009, 11:21 AM']Not very helpful, but if the neck snaps, then it couldn't take it.

Seriously though, some flats exert more tension than others. I have limited experience with flats, but I wouldn't get Rotosound flatwounds - I found them so tense I could hardly move them while playing![/quote]

That's exactly what happened to my lovely Tacoma. Put Rotosound flats on and the necks a bit goosed at the minute. Taking a trip to Ged Green the local luthier to sort.

And I didn't leave it in the sun, or the car

If budget isn't an issue, Tacoma Thunderchief. Probably as loud as you can get unplugged.

Good all round stuff - Interesting use of effects on an acoustic.

Hurt by Johnny Cash/NIN. On acoustic with vocals. Dreadful voice though, mine that is!
