my suggestion is to just have your overall prices reflect amenities like that.
example: a dude recording out of a shed with no bathroom or couch is going to charge less than a guy with a full kitchen and entertainment system.
and in this case..having gear like this- whether it be amps/guitars/drums. I believe it will discourage people to use the good stuff if you tack on more and more money. Clients like to hear one sum of money and just know that its all going to good places. the more you talk about what its all for- the more they'll talk about skimping out on something like that...
ie: "buy new heads??ehh...I'll just work with my kit duuude"

so if you thought your studio time was worth 30 bucks an hour before...after having additions like that- add on to your rate. etc etc
