You can always get another wife...

If you buy it, do not start about putting frets to it, no! 

[KingPrawn]

For that money Id want them to cover the cost of the divorce !

[Beedster]

Hmm... Turns out it's not as easy as all that..!

Personally, I’d divorce you if you bought something so horrid!

 

A Hawkes double bass is a different matter…

We’re all different and beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I can’t see the appeal here.

I can imagine circumstances where I’d spend that on a bass. But not that bass.

 

Forgiveness sometimes, permission never.

If, like me you're a big Primus fan, that's got to be tempting. But unless you're pretty darn rich I can't recommend it in good concience.

Don't fancy yours. Bass, that is, not other half.

That's called a win-win isn't it?

That kind of depends upon what kind of wife-related outcome you’d like when factored against the siren call of GAS 

 

if she’s a keeper you need to steer clear of wood-based purchases that are excessive in value
