In rehearsal mode, for the most part.

It is a mess, but damn I wish I had some of that stuff. I can never seem to come across a decent deal on a Rhodes or a set of xylophones or marimba. Awesome (and cozy-looking) space.

As someone who has that stuff (piles of amps, a rhodes, a Hammond M2, and a slew of goofy instruments), it's a double-edged sword. They are incredibly sweet to own and play, but the goofiest things can go wrong with them so (maintenance) and moving is just awful.

Thanks. That Rhodes was $350 in my hometown about 12 years ago. It's getting steadily more out of adjustment, and needs some attention. I had it in the shop once when I lived in NYC, but not since. I broke something in the amp when I moved to Connecticut. :(

Those student Wurlys can crop up for cheap. They have no tremelo, but are otherwise just like a regular WurliTzer. The trick is to open up the back and connect an AC cord to the white and black wires, and it'll run. No output, just speakers, but that's part of the charm of the sound, IMO. There's one with a broken middle C in my son's room.

The Vibes were found in a junk/antique shop. Like $125. No belt/Motor, though.

It's been far more messy at various points. This is actually relatively good!

Yeah, it's a labor of love. It's rediculous to try to keep three hammonds running!
 
Been a while since I last posted, so here are some updated pics:

The xlr panel was made yesterday courtesy of my friend teaching me how to make cables:

Merry Christmas All! Just been setting up my Christmas present to myself :p
Finally got some respectable monitors in my humble bedroom setup, so I thought I'd update.

I'm still waiting for my SM Pro M-patch 2 to arrive so I can wire them up properly.
In use a week or so ago before the new monitors...

Its a very comfortable and 'friendly' space to work in - well it is my bedroom after all! Cosy, but there's still plenty of room for me and 4 or so other people to laze around in there during a session. I use the room next door (my sister's bedroom, but she's away at uni most of the time) as a cab isolation room... its an old house with thick walls so it works really well. I can crank an amp fairly high in there an barely be able to hear it in my room :)



And for the record, this is what I started with a few years ago...

Cool space masada2502 - I'd love to get my computer monitors looking more like that (see my post just above yours) - but did you soffit those Mackies? I can't quite work out from the picture, but it sure looks like it. How has that actually worked out? Don't they need some airflow around the back for cooling of the amps? They're not ported cabs, but don't they have the passive radiator on the back?

Those Mackies are quite bass heavy anyway... and that's before you stick them in the wall... then there's the KRK sub I spy... I just see it and can't help but wonder if you have a complete low-end nightmare going on there! :p
