lol Some people settle for a Kia and other's work there asses off for a Mercedes. Its your money and what you enjoy.

GF's in the past used to give me hell if I bought a new bass, it didnt even matter how much it was. I guess they just hatin cause that money wont going in there pocket instead.

What's up with that, seriously? I mean were you living with these chicks and splitting the bills and not kicking in your share or something? All they are is GFs not your wife, so how in hell is it any of their business what you do with YOUR money?

Again, I can see that if you guys live together and you aren't paying up your share, otherwise, it's really none of their concern. Even if they were really hot and good in bed, that would be enough to cut the cord for me.

I'm currently 20 years old and in college. I work 3 part time jobs and keep 17 credit hours as a music major and I have a taste for expensive gear. Every time I buy a new bass I get constant bombardment from people saying how ridiculous it is that I'd buy such a thing. I wont get intothe details of all the comments, because well this post is already long enough :)

So my question is, why are people so hateful that I have/buy nice gear? I work really hard for what I have, I dont understand why my playing boutique basses is a such a problem.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I think you might be a little bit paranoid!:eyebrow:

is your playing solid? if not, they might think it foolish of you to spend so much on your gear when your playing doesn't seem to warrant it.

if you were a killer player, i doubt highly that they would say a thing about you purchasing boutique equipment.

or they could just be envious.

Justin Bieber drives a $187,000 Ferrari. I doubt his driving is solid enough to justify a 200 mph car. But he has the means to acquire it so who am I to judge the silly kid?

Young + Can't Play + Cheap Bass = Okay
Young + Can Play + Cheap Bass = He oughta get a better bass
Young + Can't Play + Expensive Bass = Rich kid
Young + Can Play + Expensive Bass = Awesome
Old + Can't Play + Expensive Bass = Awesome

Dude, I get that from a coworker who:
A) is not musically inclined, is not a musician;
B) calls a bass a guitar; and,
C) said "You should just have one bass and one guitar." She actually believes that last one. So, I don't let her know when I get a new ANYTHING!

The way I see it, I'll value someone's opinion of me and my equipment when I see that they can play Rush's Hemispheres on both bass and guitar, like I can. Otherwise, I just ignore them. ;):D
