Mr Fudge Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I think there should be some kind of bass rehab clinic. Instead of the Betty Ford clinic, what about the Geddy Lee clinic? Perhaps Paul McKenna will bring out a self help dvd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelk27 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 [quote name='MacDaddy' post='292277' date='Sep 25 2008, 09:57 PM']Where do you put them all? I had enough trouble with storage when I had 4![/quote] I'd been thinking that too. Staying in an old property, I think I have a few more corners than the average modern property, but still, I think I'd run out of corners well before I accommodate 57 basses. And even if I started to use manmade corners, formed by furniture and walls, I still think I'd come up short! Mind-boggling ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetera Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 [quote name='4000' post='292147' date='Sep 25 2008, 08:10 PM']What Id like to know is what does the missus say? Mine goes apesh*t about me having 5! She [i]hates[/i] bass gear. Still, that's probably as much to do with me as the gear; just another thing to give me grief about![/quote] Mine knew I was a musician when she married me.... my passion for my instrument was one of the things that attracted her.... therefore she knew what to expect. She is a musician herself (piano, clarinet, guitar & sax) so she also appreciates well made, good sounding instruments. I wouldn't be with anyone who didn't appreciate music or support me in my musical endeavours.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically her parents are both musicians but her dad only has 2 guitars and her mum only ever had one so I don't think she sees the point of more. Also, she's just one of those people who hates the wrong sort of clutter. I think if I was bringing in wads of cash it might make it easier but I don't play covers (and hence get few gigs round here and make no money in my band, and have never managed to get further with my songs).

MuseMatt Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 For some it just seems cool to date a musician.. until they find out they have a love for music and they have to fit around that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Exactly. An ex-girlfriend used to call my basses "the other women". I don't think they like playing second fiddle really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
