the facts:
im dating a girl i will probably marry.
my dad just got out of a divorce with my mom.
he told to buy everything i wanted before i got married.
that is why i have 5 basses, working on selling some and buying more.
my girlfriend doesnt like all my toys, but she cant do a whole lot about it.

ps-nice looking bass you have there, it looks lonely.
maybe you should work on some friends.

What I learned early on... Girls will have the posters of rock stars all over the bedroom... They love this guy, they love that guy... "He's so sexy, and he's so sensitive".... Guys they will probably never even meet, let alone get a piece of. Then they move in with you, and the first night you stay out at practice late (actually trying to BE a rock star)... you come home and get the back of their head in bed, and you're woken up by banging pots and pans the next morning.

Dreaming about musicians... Girls are all over that. Actually living with one? Not so much.

Yeah, I get it.

Anytime I want something new I gotta tell lies to my wife. Last one was to get this bass I've got now, I told her I traded my old semiacoustic guitar but in fact I traded it in the Ampeg I've got now. Loaned some money to buy the bass, but shhhhh, she doesn't know! Thank god she's not into looking my bank account balance...

And yesterday I bought a pedal and a melodica but asked the seller to ship it to my mom's, so I can bring them home and let them sit somewhere almost hidden, so with time I can start using it in front of her and when she asks "what's that?", "did you buy this?" I can answer: "baby, it's here for months! Didn't you see it? I selled my [insert rig here] and the buyer tossed those in"

Hell... I feel sorry for myself.

My wife says "Why do you need more than one bass?"
I say " Why do you need 50 purses and 20 pairs of shoes?"

Me: Honey, check out this sweet Ibanez Prestige SR!
Wife: Oh, nice.

Me: Honey, look at this Fender P Bass!! It's a vintage model!
Wife: Oh, nice.

Me: Ooooh, I'm not into Stingrays but look at that finish!
Wife: Oh, nice.

Me: Is that all you can ever say, "nice"?
Wife: But they all look the same to me.

I shrug, shake my head and forget about it. BUT, gods forbid I EVER say the same thing when she's showing me purses and shoes!!! I'll feel her wrath for days!!!!!

I must be one of those lucky ones, cause I've definitely taken a bass with the intention of selling and ended up buying another one instead (half the time while still keeping the original bass)...and every time I go to tell my girlfriend, trying to find a way to sneak it in or assume she's going to get mad, she ends up commenting on it and why she likes it and gets almost as excited as I do! She always says, so long as I can afford it might as well do what makes me happy.

You better have a private eye tail her all day... she could be a serial killer or a foreign spy... or quite possibly Satan!!! Because that sounds too good to be true!! :D
