Bass_Widow Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 [quote name='guitarnbass' post='63340' date='Sep 20 2007, 10:01 PM']I've only one bass right now, and unless I'm gigging, I don't see the point in having more, fretless/upright maybe if you like that too but anything else is just obsession for a bedroom bassist. If he's just playing at home and not doing anything else with it, you shouldn't put up with it, unless you've got an endless supply of space and money, but I expect you don't lol, in which case there's always gonna be more important, more constructive things to spend money on.[/quote] My husband has an upright, an acoustic, a fretless...... and a fair few others too....

Bass_Widow Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 [quote name='finnbass' post='63549' date='Sep 21 2007, 12:57 PM']I currently have 42 basses, 6 guitars 3 amplification rigs and another three combos. I have a whole room dedicated to the bass guitar. I don't see anything wrong with that. My wife has more handbags and shoes than Emelda Marcos but I am not on 'Handbagchat' moaning about it.[/quote] Crikey!! I'm not one for handbags either I am not moaning, purely enquiring as to when I should be concerned! I've never stopped my husband from purchasing another 'wife', I did however grumble when he purchased one when our daughter was due to be born anyday!! I understand from him that this is one of the most popular of his basses on this forum mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass_Widow Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hehehe! Actually our daughter is showing real intrest in them. She has asked when daddy going to purchase a pink on. I've told her not to give Daddy and more ideas! Some of his basses I am sure are pretty much more in value than when he brought them. Mind you when 'house work' is suggested, it's polishing the basses that is done and 'changing the guard' I am sure you will all know what that means!

I'm not into the habit of buying and selling stuff for income, but it's nice to know that if i need some quick cash or fancy something different, I can sell one of my instruments to fund whatever's needed (although I did recently think 4 was too many and sold one!!) My brother collects trainers - vintage/retro/ltd edition stuff mainly. He must have a couple of hundred pairs now, but again some of them have more value than one of my basses and he treats them like a currency Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_the_bass Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 i think the addition of Odour Eaters would make them non-original and possibly affect their value. he's bought stuff like 70s nikes from jumble sales for a couple of quid, taken them onto the trainer forums and got £200-£250 for them the jammy little bollox. I think his last imac came from buying trainers and stood him at less than 100 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Funk Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Ah, that's your problem right there. You have a guest room but no current guests, which is basically a room that's not being used properly. Convert it into a bass room (and paint everything white) and that purple bass will fit in nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am hoping I can lock him in there with a glass sliding door. He can then be like a fishie in a tank . He treated himself to some head phones so that when he practices he can spend time with me and I won't have to put up with the noise. The only thing is that I now spend my evening quitely trying work out what song he's playing from the harmonic twanging! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Al was having an affair one night after hearing 'unusual' noises at 3 am. Went down to find him Wii-ing to Tennis like one of the Williams sisters. Anyone who doesn't have a Wii, I highly recommend it. We are both gamers (me being a PC gamer ususally) and we adore the Wii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
