Finally...almost have the basement functional

[Securb]

My plan when I bought this house was to have a jamroom in the basement. Other projects took president and when I joined my current band the need for a jamroom diminished. But there are amps down there I miss playing especially my beloved Fender Quad so I almost....finally have the basement in order.

Nice selection of amps. That Washburn bass is OLD.

Love that bass I got it at the annual warehouse sale for our local music chain for $80. All I had to do was replace one tuner. It plays and sounds fantastic. If I croak it goes to Jolly, he has always wanted one of those bad boys.

Bringing that Quad up the stairs must be fun! I bet it is easier going down.

I have a walk-out basement on the lower level and a wheelchair ramp on the top level. However, there is a two-flight long staircase if I bring any amp to the practice space. That being said the Quad has been retired for about 15 years. After decades of gigging, I restored it and put it in mothballs.

When we first looked at houses, the first house we looked at had flood damage in the basement, so we passed. This house seems pretty safe from flooding.

Maybe I should have said retired, not mothballs. It still gets played, but I no longer drag it out for gigs. Too heavy and too fragile to be practical for any gig I do these days.

Super Reverb? Awesome amp...but heavy.

Yeah, Quads are pretty rare, for obvious reasons. They are like furniture...put them somewhere and leave them there. I don't think they were designed to be moved.

Looks like a nice space! Are you building some bass traps for the room? When I finished my basement music room it always sounded boomy until I built a few big corner panel absorbers.
