What does your bass say about you?

I busted my bass guitars for having a conversation with my wife recently...it went something like this:

~

Bass#1: Yep, I saw him oogling that Custom Shop job again! Just this morning!

Bass#2: Yeah, and I bet he falls for that babe without even telling you!

Bass#3: What a creep! Remember when he bought me that I was the last bass he would ever need?

~

[That's ok though - Her shoes were talking to me this morning!]
 
The question is, "What does your boss say about you?"
My boss tells me I do acceptable work. I don't really care what he says- he pays me, tells great stories and hands out beers after 5, working or not. I love him.

On topic- what my bass(es)say about me: boom boom boom, whacka whacka boom bweeeyyooop BOWWMMM UH. I'm not sure what it means, but that's what they say
 
johnson P-bass-I wanted something that was pointy,and a P-bass,but I couldn't afford a jackson.
squier P,refinished from black to metallic green-I didn't want people to know that I completely lack imagination when it comes to picking basses.
squier VM jag special crimson-precisions and jazzes are too mainstream for me.
 
MIM P: He likes his P's, but not too expensive.
MIA P5: Uhhhh, scratch that last one.

KSD Burner: He likes the brand with passive electronics and a cheaper price tag.
Spector Performer: See above.

Yamaha BB5000: I don't know what dark corner he found me from, but I'm glad he did!
Yamaha RBX-5: Me too!

My bass says, "he loves music, supports the whole band, caresses me with a light deliberate touch and isn't afraid to be firm to get his point across."

"He keeps me safe and in proper humidity and temperature and doesn't let just anyone handle me. In fact the people he hangs with wouldn't ask."

"If he ever ships me back to my creator he packs me like his own child."

"His tech looks after me at minimum twice a year as the seasons change."

"What else is there?:)"

Your bass is a spoiled little trust fund baby. I hate pompous little rich basses. It needs a good slamming into an amp and left in the shed overnight, or maybe a week on the road with Green Day.
