Trying To Convince The Wife I Need Some More....

[bouvier]

Sometimes when trying to explain why there is a need for another bass, guitar, pedal or amp becomes difficult, you have to think of novel ideas.   Anyone got any......  I have a hankering for Thunderbird, Firebird, Esquire and the odd pedal.

you need  blue, green and purple basses. Shocking you havent got one of each.

No maple fingerboard, no unlined fretless, no fiver, no sixer, no 8 strings octave bass, no double bass, no EUB, no real ERB (more than 6 strings), no Zon Hyperbass, no 8x10, no heavy all tubes head, ... and so much spare room.

C'mon ! 🤣

Just tell her you do the dishes for a month

I don't ask for anything I buy...

I see: You have bought those tiny things with 6 strings! Ha, a good strategy! Every now and then "it just grew a bit" and you have a new bass. Genius! I can already see that leftmost thing grow to a double bass.

By the way, where do you bury those tiny things then, do you have a garden - or a big oven?

I grow them on a dedicated allotment, it is very easy.  All that is required is lots of small feedings with moolah, cash, wonga and the odd large injection of cash.   Hey presto a bumper harvest.   If you look carefully you will see a Loop grow into a Looper, just a few small additions of wonga and a couple large cash injections and it turns into a studio.

I tidied up the response and once I work out what half of them are I will most likely acquire them.   If it has 5 strings is that a broken lead guitar?  Seven strings or more is obviously a harp.   Lots of speakers in a single box must be a Phil Jones and I am not (nor ever will be) old enough to appreciate/understand centrifugal jazz......

Clearly you need more to fill up the wall space for the other 2 wall that I assume you have in that room.. feng shui and all that

The age-old battle!

I was chatting to a regular bc'er who said he always bought basses the same colour so his wife didn't notice the new arrival. Top tip I thought! 

[Piers_Williamson]

It works until you get tempted to buy a different coloured one.  However, my wife and I have come to an accomodation....if she spots I've bought another bass, she gets to buy a handbag (with my money).

You don’t have a five which is essential. 🤪

I covered fives previously, if it has 5 strings then isn't that just a broken lead guitar

[Geek99]

Mine simply cannot tell the difference between any kind of stringed instrument that you hold at waist height. So I get t-shirts that are guitar related
