Just play a note low enough to vibrate her. Works like magic!

Hmm, Maybe I should have kept that secret for myself.

I was practicing "Ball Of Confusion" once, and my girl-friend was watching. She commented on the fingers of my right hand and how they moved. She also said "you can't sell that!" when I mentioned I was considering selling one of my 7 basses.

We've been married for almost four years.

Bass all y itself can be pretty boring even to bass players. So maybe play along to a song she likes. My wife asks me to play along to recordings.

Playing keyboard parts on the bass from well known ballads (while singing to her and looking softly and deeply in her eyes) is my way is my way to serenade the lady of my heart.

A couple of years ago I tried serenading my wife with some bass playing. She told me to turn it down, she was watching a Lifetime movie!

That's hilarious.

Once, after month upon month of listening to me noodle away on scales, arpeggios, fragments of "Teen Town", etc., etc., my girlfriend at the time finally snapped and said, "Don't you ever play any SONGS?!!"

I did serenade another girlfriend once with a portion of a Bach cello suite, and she liked it. However, she was mostly amused by the fact that I was wearing ONLY the bass at the time.
