iiipopes Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Just remember - she bought you the bass, so she would have no reservations about using it on you. Treat her well. Quote
ubit Posted September 4, 2014 Author Posted September 4, 2014 The stakes are high now, the bar has been set and lots of other analogies meaning I'm gonna have to step up next birthday! Quote
tauzero Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 [quote name='ubit' timestamp='1409492980' post='2540134'] I'm gonna definitely stick with this one, but what the hell can I buy her now to match this ;( [/quote] So far I've bought Mrs Zero two ocarinas, a stylophone, and (for one Valentine's Day) a didgeridoo. There's plenty of instruments out there... Quote

Black Coffee Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Just remember that gifts can become weapons. That would have a nice arc and trajectory for throwing two handed, or being swung like an axe towards you. Also the bass strings are excellent impromptu garrotting wires. Four of them....! It's like the look you get when you're out and you have a joke at her expense in front of friends ; the "just wait til I get you home" through gritted teeth crocodile smile and stare expression. Mrs bassman doesn't do this as she is a supporter of my hobby, but I've witnessed other less fortunate musician friends with a pint of Guinness adorning and drenching and dripping over a new ampeg 8x10 that was bought with the money supposed to be for a weekend away with her.

Emanew Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Splendid gift ! Take care of your girlfriend Meshell, a real Artist, made me discover this Gibson bass in 1996. http://www.bassguitarrocks.com/les-paul-bass Edited September 27, 2014 by Emanew Quote
HengistPod Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I had a girlfriend of similar quality once. She bought me a 1990 Gibson Custom Shop Thunderbird for my birthday. Jet black, ebony fingerboard, gold hardware. One previous owner, Floyd London of The Almighty. Those of you who kept your old "Bassist" magazines, it's featured in the "My Bass Is A ..." bit of the September 1996 issue (ZZ Top cover). Quote
