Lol looks organized!

[rayc]

Tidy desk tidy mind?

[paulman]

Well I feel a lot better about the organizational state of my studio. Ok, maybe just a little better.

[Armistice]

I've actually just reorganised my "studio" - aka media desk in the corridor. I always knew I was sitting off to the right and that was fine, easy to centre when necessary, but then I got the floor redone and in trying to avoid scratching it with the dining chair I sit on when working, I put said dining chairs leg tips in little felt booties and sit in on a rug, so it doesn't move around so much any more...

Time to reorganise though - too hard to reach everything from the right end, so I've essentially stacked all the boxes on the computer and moved self to the middle - problem is though, I use 2 screens but while I'm WFH I've moved one screen to the desk/dining table, so now the right half of the desk is completely empty. Apart from the monitor. Looks weird.

Did you have Oasis over for a session?

[vomitHatSteve]

Sadly, my live room became the de facto dumping ground for things during the painting project over the last two months. We finally started on the control room (slash office) this weekend. Hopefully, in a few weeks everything will be neat and organized and on casters

I finally finished all of my upgrades:

That was actually my studio from 2001 until about 2014. It sounded, as you can imagine, like total ass in there. Good thing I had the carpet to save the day and make it sound totally pro!

The drywall and duct taped foam on the computer desk in an attempt to quiet down that screaming computer was a nice touch too.

[JD01]

Fucking hell, Tad. It looks like yours has been ransacked and then fly-tippers have turned up to chuck old junk computers parts in the there.

I'm re-organising mine over the next couple of days so there'll be a photo. At the moment its a complete shambles.

Wow, lots to sort through in that horror show. That looks like the recording studio of a serial killer.

Love a good makeover story.

[vomitHatSteve]

Some of those cables make me extremely uncomfortable, tad!

We've all been there.

Is that a can of Mountain Dew behind the keyboard? Miner would be proud of you...

So many (and I mean MANY) questions...lol...but I'll limit myself to 2:

1) What's the ShopVac's role in all this?

2) How has nobody mentioned the tiger-striped beast of a guitar leaning up against the back wall? Especially notable is how it's perched precariously at just the right angle on the cement (CEMENT!) floor; hopefully it didn't slide out at some time and scratch up the back.

Indeed it is! It has been a constant in my life up until the last few years. I'd like to think that Miner would have approved

Hahaha I assume that the Shop Vac was chock full of spider egg sacs at that point in time since I must've been tidying up the place (the sheen of cleanliness really comes through in the photo). That basement was the most spider-infested space I've ever witnessed. But no other bugs. I have no idea what the spiders ate down there. Maybe each other?

Oh yes, the tiger striped guitar. It's an '84 Aria Pro II RS Inazuma. I actually still have that monstrosity. I got it when I was 13 and I played the heck out of it until I got my first "real" guitar, which was a Charvel (when they were owned by Jackson). That Aria actually plays really well, it's got a great neck. But the pickups are absolute garbage, so it never gets any play any more.

Believe it or not, only 1 guitar ever fell victim to that cement floor. That was my Les Paul. The strap came off of the strap button while I was playing and it fell from waist height onto that concrete floor. In a total miracle, the crappy plastic jack plate cover took the entire brunt of the fall. It shattered into a bazillion pieces and the rest of the guitar was totally unscathed.
