A pretty clear message... right?

[JohnnyNoStars]

Wait, she didn't buy you two of those stands?

I think you need to seriously review whether you're with the right woman. She may not be taking your passions seriously enough.

 

[Maxdusty]

Actually, this year we had our 4th and likely last child, so I thought it would be cool to get her a mother's ring- which if you aren't familiar, is a ring with the birthstones of each child in it.

Ah... it seems like the number "4" has great significance in this year's Christmas presents with you and your family. Hey, a bass also has "4" strings!

 

[Bob-I]

You married well. I asked my wife to get me a stand that holds 3 for gigs. She said "what do you need 3 for?"

 

[Pork_Chop]

Your wife's cheating on you.

 

[Neuroman]

I remember those days!!!

Fill it up! It's not like you are at risk for hoarding or anything like that . . .

Its not Xmas yet! YOU PEEKED!!!!!

 

[JimmyM]

Oh, and get this- my wife wants me to teach her to play a little, but she wants a short scale, so I guess I have a reason to buy one of those! This would also work for my kids!

The truth comes out! She wants the 7 bass stand to accommodate the basses SHE wants to buy!

 

[Hoochie Coochie Man]

One time, I asked my wife what she wanted for Christmas, and she said "a divorce".

I told her that I wasn't planning on spending that much this year.

Edit: I bought her a brand new snow shovel instead. She was so happy, she actually cried when I gave it to her.

Edit # 2: I wonder what she's up to these days. Haven't heard from her in a few years.

Edit # 3: I can now buy any bass, guitar, amp, piano, organ car, truck, beer, whiskey, or whatever I want.

Nice! Proceed with caution!

My wife once told me, after surveying my six instruments, she thought I had quite enough basses.

We'd been married for 20 years, and I know my wife. Clearly, she was getting at the fact that I needed more amps.

So I got an SVT.

 

[Bassamatic]

That is a great wife. The best my wife does regarding my instruments is NOT to roll her eyes when I walk in with a new one.

Regarding a Short Scale bass - Go look at the Squier VM Jaguar SS - it is far too good for the price. Looks good, plays easy and sounds huge. Just got one and can't keep my hands off it. And it is clear she bought the rack leaving a space for HER bass.

 

[bassrich]

So my wife bought me one of those long instrument stands that holds up to 7 basses for Christmas. The only problem is, I only have three basses. Do you think this is her way of telling me I need to go buy 4 more basses? I think so.

to me that is a hint you are getting 4 more basses for X-mas or you have the green light to buy 4 more basses either way it will be a merry X-mas for you

 

[placedesjardins]

They don't sell stands for 3 basses. You might not want to read between the lines and assume anything.

 

[M.R. Ogle]

Jeez... you can sure pick out the responses from the SINGLE guys!

 

[BazzTard]

In fact, if you DON'T fill it, it sends the message that her gift was not needed, indeed an insult. You OWE her the courtesy of utilising it as it was intended.

 

[Jughead6]

Fender guy mainly? How about a fretless Precision? Don't see those every day. Bonus - you can channel your inner Sting:

I can think of nothing worse than channeling my inner Sting. Thanks for the mental image!

 

[JimmyM]

Actually they do. I have one.

 

[hsech]

My wife would say "do you value your life"?

 

[davy4575]

I have the best wife on the planet.....She changed her name to EX. seriously though. I went for years killing my art and bass collection via having a wife. never again. no musician should ever have to not buy a bass to keep his wife happy

 

[Jay Mastro]

It's because they're going for 20 bucks on ebay right now! Grab 'em while you can!
