Relocating the String Swing stand &c.

The sport in the living room where I’d setup the String Swing was somewhat protected from rampaging puppies, but I wanted to relocate the guitars to a more protected corner of my bedroom, which was occupied with some wire shelves holding a couple of old PowerMac machines I haven’t turned on in years, some stereo equipment from the late 1980s / early 1990s, an Ultra 5 project I haven’t even started on yet, some old media gathering dust, and some droids. Sigh. That corner needed attention. Also, I’d displaced my reading/listening nook and wanted to restore it in its new, simplified configuration with spiffy new light.

I used this WORKPRO 5-Tier Storage Shelf, 72" H Heavy Duty Adjustable Garage Shelving Unit 2180LBS Capacity, for Basement, Kitchen, Pantry, 27.6”Wx11.8”Dx60”H, Black unit (it’s not 72" high, sigh), with just two of the shelves installed. It wedged into the corner I had available nicely, and seems sturdy enough as I have it assembled. I have the String Swing stand on the bottom shelf, and I’m using the top to store the unwieldy Headrush FRFR-112 Mk2:

I could have had another shelf in there but then I wouldn’t have been able to store the bass guitar. Sigh. Meanwhile my listening/reading nook has been restored, just in time to finish Heat 2, which was a great, fast read. (Even if belief had to be seriously suspended for some of the contrived circumstances necessary to keep McCauley / Shiherlis / Hanna connected, in 1988 (!) and later in 2000. But I digress.)

The nook, once again setup as it should be

Finally, the Jackson JS32 and JS34 have moved along to their new home, a college friend’s highschool program. Yay for reduced “clutter” – and for a beneficial re-use!
