Did i made the right choice?

hells yes i would have.

only i would have been smart and told her that the problem was something that couldn't be fixed and that instead of waiting for a new mm to be shipped to the store you decided to get the corvette.

 

I wouldn't have because I've had a Warwick Corvette Standard. Didn't like the neck AT ALL. Way too big and fat. The jazz fits my hands much better.

 

I'm not married but if I was I won't of. I also don't think you did anything wrong.

 

"Honey, it's not your fault. I should have asked for this one in the first place."

 

Dude, it was a gift from your wife... it was a good bass, and the sentimentalism from the gift should have overridden any gas you has for the warwick.

Just imo.

 

well if you appreciated the gift so much why'd you trade it

 

Well, FWIW.....keep your eye on her for the next day or 2....hopefully she won't come at you with any sharp objects!

 

Taking it back and buying another MM won't fix this...that train has left the station.

This was a massive blunder on the marriage front. You need to start working on clearing up this mess as soon as possible.

If something like this ever comes up again, ask yourself which you like best...the bass or the wife. As for the bandmates, they're fun at practices and gigs, but when you go home to a cold bed, they're not much help.

 

Different strokes for different folks. When I buy my wife a gift I just want to make sure she loves it and will use it. Just this holiday season I bought her a new purse. I spent time picking it out with help from the nice sales person. She took it back and got something that she liked better - and I'm happy. My goal was for her to have a purse she loves and will use. Same deal as the bass. Your wife won't be the one playing it - you are. She should be thrilled that you have something that you love and will use. No, it's not the one she picked out, but it is still her gift to you.

I think you did the right thing. Now your job is to gracefully help her to realize that

Your wife really put her heart into buying you a gift and you basically trashed it, man you are neck deep, pity you.

To be honest I would have kept it, no matter what , but would probably have bought the other one as well, as a cheap backup that you can gig with and rough up, because you don't want to mess with the beautiful gift she got for you, you're keeping it for special.

 

sounds like you're screwed pardner.
there are rules to the game, she's got you now.
it's gonna be vacation with the mother in law....

 

You did the right thing. MM was broken, and you found better bass when you took it back. It's still a gift from your wife you know...

Once I bought nice lingerie to my girlfriend as x-mas present, but there was a small tear on the pants section. She went to return the stuff, but found more nicer lingerie. I was pleased...

 

well if my GF got me a marcus, id have to find some way out of it, because i cant stand they way they sound! haha

i agree with both sides to an extent. depends on the woman i suppose.

 

At least something good happened.

wow, i agree with Deep up there.

 

buy her a nice ring or earrings and hope she is nice about it. be real romantic. Then you will know. If she takes the ring back and gets something else, sleep on the couch.
