I figure if the mortgage is paid, food is on the table, and the bills are paid, then we add to the herd...
... unfortunately, there's a lien on the house, cardboard isn't bad with a little mustard on it, and the utilities have been turned off...
... but, man, do 'we' have some awesome basses!

Everything looks the same to my wife, as long as I can sneak it in the house she never knows until after I gradually break it to her and I do sometimes just to see the look on her face, haha! . Even then she'll yell and complain a little bit but calm down in a while. I also usually tell her it cost half what it really did.
I never complain though when she buys shoes and stuff like that though, like the poster above said: You reap what you sow.

my husband the guitar player and i enable each others' musical purchases - basses, DI boxes, amps, even a few minutes ago when i ordered a new drum rack 
Not sure if more recent thread so bumping...
I'm a one bass guy. Back into playing for almost a year. In my youth traded lots of basses but never had more than 1. Play almost daily since I discovered I love shorties (traded a closeted rarely played full scale and haven't looked back). Already played everything in my <$500 range that local gc and small local shops had. Had free Saturday so went to city to try a few used store that have weak online presence. Nothing I liked though.
Was telling wife later about what I got to try and lack of finding new basses and she said she thought I liked my bass. I said yes but I like to try new ones. She told me not sell it while sounding ok I was looking for a new bass. Sounds like subtle I can have 2 basses with no questions asked
I know she wouldn't really care (unless I bought crazy multiple basses) and we don't police each other's purchases anyway..but found it funny she is more ok with me having multiple basses than I am. Lol. Feel like I haven't played consistently long enough to deserve more than 1 and it's just me doing it at home..no plans to play with others.
We always hit new camping stores when we travel...I need to add music stores to mix (I really got to play me in person to know if I like the feel...)
Just found it funny I am more restrained on bass purchases than non musical spouse.

I've been single for over 20 years so I have to cook up my own guilt trips and I suck at it. 
The cats don't care what I get, as long as they get their tuna on the regular.

After trying this out, I feel more like myself now, than I did a moment ago...
