niceguyhomer Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Never mind the bass - does your fiance like older men? :brow: Seriously - I have the same bass, congrats mate. Quote
Cat Burrito Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Does she realise she's raised the bar now? That'll go nicely with your wedding bass & your honeymoon bass! Quote

I'm so proud of her, not only for making an excellent choice of bass but for supporting my local guitar/bass shop instead of buying it online! I've hardly slept all night!!

You definitely have to keep that now....for life! How many awesome Oly White 08/09 P Basses on basschat now? You make a good couple as well, congrats! (I hope I get the same if I decide on the same path with the missus....) Quote
molan Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 My (first) wedding cake was in the shape of a white P Bass, lol. Must have an old pic of it somewhere in the family vaults! Quote

Balcro Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Aye, that's a canny lass you've got there. The way to a man's heart is through his bass as well as his stomach. BurritoBass is cool. Balcro. Quote

You are a lucky man on both counts.. I think we need a new 'unoffical' Basschat policy that barrs you from ever trying to sell or trade that bass here on BC.. It has to be a keeper for life! Quote

waynepunkdude Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 That is awesome but you now have 2 Sadowsky's you're not allowed to play "Why aren't you playing the one I got you?" Quote

[/quote] Hahahahahaahaha The good thing about that is she (very cleverly) understands that the Fender does all the things my Sadowsky's cant do (Classic passive "old school" tone + low notes from the 5th string) and vice versa so she knows i'll use different basses for different songs/sounds etc Quote
NJE Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Congratulations, what an awesome gift, you must be chuffed both with the bass and most importantly the engagement. I will have to show the missus this one, I have been hinting at engagement bass (when the time comes) so maybe I should leave this page open on her laptop as a hint Quote
Rayman Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Congratulations mate, beautiful bass, and a beautiful missus too. Those P5s are absolutely outstanding. I had a go on Homer's P5 and was knocked out, loved it. Quote
Brave Sir Robin Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) That's a great family heirloom! The first pic cracks me up. Like a kid at Christmas Edited November 8, 2009 by Brave Sir Robin Quote
purpleblob Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) Congrats on your engagement and bagging such a thoughtful young lady. Hmm that's made me think. I seem to remember buying my wife an enagement ring (those many years ago), but don't recall her ever getting me anything in return. I think it's time to call in that debt with a call to the bass gallery Edited November 8, 2009 by purpleblob Quote
dangee Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 I've just shown this thread to my wife and reminded her that, having also bought her a platinum/diamond engagement ring, I am awaiting my engagement bass. Won't hold my breath! Quote
Marvin Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Congratulations all round. I think I would have probably ended up with something a little more basic [attachment=35992:05_08_15...teachest.jpeg] Quote
