Thanks for sharing your pics! It adds to this online relating "world".
This chapter in my studio life is "small" but tidy and workable.... a long way from the rooms I built in 2001.
 
I tried to paste the URLs from my photobucket but that didn't work. Anyone know how I can share those pics here?
I can share this, but you have to wade through older studio set ups and guitars. LOL

Thanks  I've had to sell a few this year ( AlleyKat, Swingster, Washburn acoustic baritone) and the Virus Ti2, plus a couple mics (AKG C480b CK61 and Kel Song Sparrow), but I do use my other ones way more.
I really liked the series/parallel set up on the Swingster and want to re-pickup the Epi LP for that, once I figure out which pickups I'd like that are 4 conductor with chrome covers. That LP is very lively and I've upped the tuners and bone nut, so far. The parts-o-casters are very "me", though I'd like to Blade Runner the cherry died one. I can't seem to not tweak stuff. LOL    Is there a "Modders Anonymous"?
The Presonus MP20 has Burr Browns and the WA TB12 has a John Hardy 2520, so it's just not guitars, apparently.

HA  Good one Bob!  Elixers help and I buy them cheap (mostly). I do have my own box of singles and one with sets for everything, which come in handy when I either don't want to drive to Traverse City MI or the weather "convinces" me not to go. I suppose that comes from years of gigging with all the spare stuff I'd need to finish a gig and then years of clients who didn't bring __________ whatever to their session.

Good eye there Ed. 
I just put it up there like that so you would notice :) 
It is normally on the desk to the left as I still use it to figure out tempos and approximate drum beats for song writing and whutnot. Still has my original 4 songs I programmed in ,,? ya must have been 85.
 
You could store 4 full songs per set and then used a cassette tape to dump 4 more on your break. I soon got the Atari which drove it for at least another 3 years before I got the MT 32. I still think of drum patterns in terms of how they are stored --D1 is standard rock and D14 is a waltz etc. 
That little box taught me everything I still know about sequencing! 
I even learned about Triplets.

I had a 505 after my first DR-55 ('78?), that lasted till a pair of HR16's and the Seq (MM16?). Ted Nugent's drummer Cliff Davies was impressed with my drum tracks, when we had an acoustic duo in '96(?). I duplicated the snare and toms on the 2nd machine, delaying and detuning them for a fatter tone. I thought it was very cool.
   I continued that habit with a pair of SR16's. I just sold my last one, but they are really handy for practicing, finding tempos and goofing around. If an SR18 deal floats by.... LOL

Thank you. I've been a pro since '63.
 
 I feel like I've "calmed down a bit" since 2001-2006 when I was gigging 5-7 nights/week plus a Sunday brunch gig, 35 students and sessions when I could sneak 'em in. I had 34 guitars then. Life, Chapter 7 and retirement
have altered my sense of what I want "hanging around" to play. Money could certainly impact that! LOL

If I could live my life over the only thing I'd change would be to not have sold any of my guitars!! ( or Basses and amps) I'm sure my wife would not agree with this! 
 
Here's looking backwards at my "live performance" workstation. You can see some of my collection in the background. I should really update that for insurance reasons, Remember what happened to Bit (Dave)
