As long as it's not one of these.



Over 3 months and an ocean between that chair and me I still hate it w/ a passion.

YEah, I can imagine you do Rain

Matter of fact, I think I've heard about that chair before

Nah, I was thinking a little more in terms of a robust office chair where it's still possible to play the guitar. Not a bucket

Ha ha, that thing looks great in a 70's movie.

High back, Trimph1 - definitely! I wouldn't mind somethign that would support shoulders as well - and my head for when I nod off a little
 
Yeah, I've been looking at a few and thought I'd actually spend a few bucks on it. It'll be worth it. But they come in all shapes and colours these days. And I want them all! Perhaps.
 
 
Except the ugly ones.

I've actually found that a good office chair will do for guitar playing as long as it is good to sit in while leaning forward a bit and also if it's possible assemble it without the armrests. But if I'm recording guitars for hours upon hours something else might be desireable.

There are a few office chairs that have arms as optional, or adjustable. 

I just use a stool if I'm going to muck about on guitar or sax....

Yeah, I really like that. He he, a stool. Maybe I'll get one of those too for playing trumpet. I usually stand up when playing it but I'm geting lazier and lazier by the minute.

Hah"! Found another one that looks pretty cool. Apparently the armrests come off this as well without making it all wobly.



I've been happy with just siting in my "producer's" chair when playing, but had a look at a nice looking swivel stool from Ikea I might look into. It's worth checking out an alternative seating for playing instruments when everyone is recomending it

Ah, thanks for that on the Markus - I was really tempted on that one. Low back support is really important to me. I'll try it in the store but will keep that in mind.

Besides the one in my previous post I haven't found any excellent alternatives. That one is approx US$500 so pricey but concidering the amount of time I spend in it it would be worth it. They also had a totally awesome one but at just over US$1000 It's out of the question for me. When I get rich perhaps...

I've found a few that are sold here in Norway but I'm not sure if they would be any good for studio use. At the post/versioning studio I work for we have some absolutely awful chairs. They look pretty good but in use they're absolutely ridiculous. Would work for office jockeys with cash to spend but not for a music and recording studio

You have these types as well and even though they are extremely comfy with all that pading and stuff, it's absolutely horrible and tiresome to be draging around. I move a lot from keyboard controller to my desk and with a guitar, turn around and talk to someone etc etc so the chair needs to be light and easy to handle as well. That's what I like about the IKEA ones, they're never heavy - but then again, they're made of really cheap material.
