lowdowner Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 [quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1379130123' post='2209011'] I wouldn't be able to shut up about a new bass. I think everybody is in agreement that we don't or certainly shouldn't hide things like this from our other halves. The way I see it as long as you have enough money to live at the end of it spend as much as you see fit [/quote] this is just like me - 'look, new bass, new bass!!' <jumping around like an excited puppy> 'LOOK - NEW BASS!'... only to be deflated by a 'and how, precisely, is that any better than the ones you already have?'

Baxter Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm about to go and put a deposit down on a Coronado reissue. It wont be here for a few weeks - so that'll give me enough time to think up a good story/sell some gear/rob a petrol station/etc.....

BassTractor Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hahahaha! That brings it to a whole new level. I'll make a site. Send me two quid, the specifics of the bass, and your name, eg. "Steve from Exeter". Hm. Make that three quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] What is about women and kitchens? If you suggest they should spend more time there or that the kitchen is where they belong they go mental , yet they always want a new one . The way they carry on, you would think they would be happy you had bought a new bass so they could borrow it to form an anarcho-feminist post-punk band like The Slits and write songs about what a mistake they had made getting married , how" the system" isn't fair and oppresses women , and how much they want a split- level breakfast bar with wipe-clean formica top and a ceramic hob as soon as their loser husband coughs up the money for one .

BassTractor Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Did I already tell about the bloke who'd hid roughly 6,000 quid in the basement, and when his wife found out, she immediately ordered a kitchen? Seems to follow a pattern indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Riffed Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I have never 'needed' to buy a bass or 'had' to buy a bass for any particular reason. I've been fairly fortunate in that I only buy another bass when I want one. They are not the tools of my trade unlike some of you guys so I tend to look for things that I can afford at that time. If I can afford it my better half doesn't mind too much. That said I will shortly be looking for a new home for my 4x10 and 1x15 cabs as this will been seen as general decluttering which is a good thing apparently.
