So, I bought a Peavey VB-2 off of a fellow TBr and it was just delivered. Here is the email I received from my wife:
"your music thing was just delivered"

I really wasn't sure how to interpret that one.

My girlfriend (listening with apparently knowledgeable interest until now) :
"What's an octave?"

She: (pointing to the band) Which one is the bass, like you play?
Me: That one, with the four strings.
She (listens to a few bars of root-fifth country bass) Wow, bass is boring!
Yes, I still married her. She LOVES Rush and now understands! |

I really wasn't sure how to interpret that one. | Self-assess the part that's uncovered. Then know that she thinks the covered part doesn't look as good as that....

Having said that, she just bought me an iPad, so I need to be polite and supportive. |

| | | Lindsay, I hear you. My wife comes to a few. Once or twice a year. Not quite as bad as your situation, but I hear you. I'm not popular with the ladies. Even my own wife. Small joke...
