Hot Tub Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) I usually play very quietly or with headphones on, but our neighbours are on holiday this week, so I persuaded Mrs A to let me use my amp in anger for 10min. She came into the spare room and watched and listened to me play and was absolutely blown away. I ended up playing for about 40min, and my dear wife was speechless. Eventually she said, "I know you come up here and play bass, but I never realised you were a musician." Y'know, I really, really, love her! :wub: Edited May 29, 2008 by Astronomer Quote
ped Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Lovely stuff. Was she sober? What kind of stuff were you playing? Hold onto her matey!! ped Quote
JakeBrownBass Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 i wish my girlfriend was that nice about my playing! Quote
ashgeezer Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 My missus doesn't pay me any compliments at all but i couldn't care less to be honest, i just love playing my bass, simple as that. You have a decent woman there, keep hold of her. Quote

Hold onto her matey!! ped[/quote] Yup, sober! I was playing stuff like Green Onions, Soul Man, Midnight Hour, some ZZ Top, some AC/DC, Addicted To Love, The Devil Went Down To Georgia, gawd, loads of other stuff. Playing along with backing tracks, and she loved it! Quote
ahpook Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 yaaay ! that's sweet. girlfren has said a similar thing now and again. Quote

Buzz Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Be afraid, be very afraid. I suspect you'll find something either been broken or got rid of in the next couple of days. Quote

johnnylager Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Playing along to some Rush t'other day and Mrs. Lager seemed surprised I knew it. Closest to a compliment I've ever got from her! Quote

Machines Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Wow, that'll never happen to me. The missus only like cheesy dance tunes, I could sit here and play Portrait of Tracy better than Jaco and she'd ask me to keep it down. Quote
Galilee Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I hope you took immediate advantage by having a go on her bongos. Quote

el-gnomo Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 .. Closest I've got to a compliment like that was when my wife got herself a spot playing bass for 1 tune with a friends band (bearing in mind she had never played before), after me trying to teach her "heatwave" for 5 minutes, I got "it's not as easy as it looks is it !" Quote
Guest Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 hopefully i have bagged myself some indoors playing time, the other day my wife said "what parcels should we expect this month then? I never get any parcels.." fair comment with all the bass equipment i have been through, my reply was "none got every thing i want/need (actually i did order a badassIII )" . Well i am feeling slightly smug as she is away at her mothers so i have brought her a laptop and made sure it's addressed to her, should be OK for some uninterrupted playing time when my shuttle arrives Quote
