WHY PLAYING BASS IS BETTER THAN YOUR SPOUSE

Basses never need a shave, nor do they have hair on their backs.
Basses don't snore.
You don't have to feed your bass
Basses never argue, you are always right.
Basses never wake you up in the middle of the night, for any reason.
Basses don't care what you look like or what your age is.
Basses don't care and don't comment about what you spend your money on.
When you're playing, your bass doesn't care if other basses are bigger or better.
Basses don't get you pregnant.
Basses don't have mothers.
When you've finished playing, you can put it away.
You don't have to praise a Bass after playing it.
Basses don't abandon you at gatherings for more interesting players.
You don't have to explain to a bass if you don't feel like playing tonight.
Basses don't complain if you wear "sensible" clothes.
When you're lost, you don't have to argue with your bass about stopping to ask the band for directions.
When your bass is being played too slow, you can speed up.
When you need someone to play with, your bass is happy to accommodate.
You buy the tools your bass needs; it doesn't buy tools that never get used.
Your bass never finishes before you do.

Okay then.
Bass not waking you up in the middle of the night- what about me? I must be weird cause more than once I've woken at 3am with a need to play. Shame I live in a uni dorm....
Not having to feed your bass- mine seems to enjoy taking my fingernails off. I've never found the broken pieces either...:confused:

Bass not minding if you don't play tonight- I feel guilty if I don't play....

Basses having tools that they need, not want- My particular bass came with a load of tools, the grand majority of which I haven't worked out their use yet.

Basses not arguing back- mine seems to. Particular songs seem to have a bad effect on my bass, and it retaliates by hitting me in the thumb with the G string. OWWWWEEEE!!



But I love my bass.......:bassist: :hyper:


Also, you choose the bass, and you don't have to court it, take it out on dates or pay out for a wedding.
 
You can always turn the volume down on your bass, not so much on your spouse.

A cold bass against your bare legs is allowed, but cold feet are not.

When your bass "farts out", it doesn't smell like your wife's fermenting colon.
 
all you need is 2 fingers and a thumb,

or does that apply to both? lol



hmmm why a bass is better then a spouse? i can carry it in a bag on my back and not get stoped by the cops.. i win..


Uuhhh... I never get stopped by the cops when i carry my girlfriends in a bag on my back.

I guess it's the whole, harmless All American guy thing.

Remember folks - we live right next door
