You know you´re obsessed with bass when...

[bass'n it]

When one hangs they're bass on the wall in the livingroom and is the centerpiece of said wall. ?

I'm thinking about doing this in my apartment. Got the idea from guys on the PRS and Carvin guitar forums -- those two groups compete in everything!

 

[tom once dead]

You are at a friends birthday dinner, and you happen to notice one of the guys has a bass on his shirt, and you work out the exact model of the bass (It was a Line 6 variax 705)...

When you think about who you're going to will your basses to.

Give them away?!?!?!?! TRAITOR! Take 'em to the grave. It's not like you can buy a bass in hell!

You just saved me a lot of money. I don't want a tattoo someone else has, and I was thinking of that one in that spot.

im getting that one, but in a different spot..left hand, im not sure what the part is called, not my palm, but right under the thumb

When your bass collection is worth more than your car...

I know my bass stuff is worth more than my car. Anyone else

...when you are lurking on talkbass at 4:30AM hoping you will gain some strange form of bass/ tone enlightenment, and fail. And then do the exact same thing the next night.

Yes, the reason I joined was to post the story of my last two nights.

If you're a female bassists, and you don't think of compliments concerning your rack as sexist.

guilty



but I drive the totally awesome 1988 turbo volvo wagon---

 

[rokkitt]

You have bass clefs on both sides of your car.

It's epic, except when I get the, "What is THAT?!" or "I like your music note on the car." Both of which cause me to facepalm.


And you make an account on these forums just to brag to everyone about your car and its awesome bass clefs.

lets see it!

although it might have been a guitarist too... Otherwise he would probably been quite obsessed...

When you're a teen, and you own ****** equipment, and thinking everyday of upgrading but can't because you can't get a job.

You're thinking more of your first decent bass than your first car

Having GAS when all you have is a cheap-ass Ibanez

I'm so damn guilty

Can someone help me out?

+1. I'm 16. I've got an amp that does well for me, now i just need a new bass and some pedals. But i'm dropping a sport this year so hopefully i can get a job and (attempt) to get this stuff. But it's hard, i hear ya!

 

[bassman03]

And someone said when your girlfriend knows about talkbass as a non-musician, i know THREE girls that i just talk to a lot that all know about talkbass and can guess that i'm on there depending on the day/hour......

If you're holding your bass at this very moment while sitting in front of the computer reading about basses.

 

[mrbass02]

When you're 18 and your friends are all saving up for a car, every penny you earn goes into saving up for a Sadowsky or a new amp.

You read this thread and think "Damn why have I never tried that?".

You constantly think about breaking the armrests of your deskchair just to make it more comfortable while playing bass.

While checking the TV guide and see a program on Discovery named "bass adventures" or something similar, and you switch the channel because you think there might always be a chance that it's not about fish.

guilty of all but the first

 

[mrbass02]

Guilty!!

When your right forearm has more muscles than your left.
When you shake your fist at the screen in School of Rock when everyone gets a solo besides the bassist.
When you hold your instrument by the strings without worry of them snapping. lol

i hav seen school of rock at least 100 times and EVERY time it ends, I keep expecting a bass solo, as if somehow they tacked it on at the end. Shame, Shame
