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

[scsm]

When your 40th birthday cake is in the shape of your bass and your wife gives strict colour-matching instructions to cake-maker because "he loves the colour"

She's a keeper.

...When the bass edition of the Musician's Friend catalog is more arousing than a Playboy. (guilty )

...When the bass edition of the Musician's Friend catalog is more arousing than a Playboy. (guilty )

Ha! Has yet to happen to me but only time will tell.

 

[Lukanian-7]

Your proud when you get blisters
You've dumped your life savings into bass
You 16, listen to Motown, and like it
You've named all your basses

My god it's ... Me!

 

[CDRhom]

When your company sends you to a conference at a fancy resort hotel, and you spend 1/2 the time at the networking reception making eye contact with the Bassist and nodding sympathetically when he plays "The Girl From Impanema" for the x-teenth time.

(Dude, if you read this, your three piece combo @ the Coronado was great)

 

[kugelspot]

when you make a thread about being obsessed with basses

Touché...

 

[kugelspot]

You've gotten something bass related for almost every birthday/Christmas since you started playing.

True story...

My 18th birthday is on Sunday. Getting a Catalinbread SFT. So excited. Planning on asking for more pedals for christmas

 

[J-Razz]

When you bass up and realise bass, with all the bassiful basses you could have been bassing about, you were in fact bassing about bassing basser cabs for your bass rig.

oh no...

 

[Downunderwonder]

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

erm, most of my basses are worth more than my car

 

[Meatrus]

The most developed muscle you have is either your thumb or forearm on your right arm.

Yeagh thats embarassing, my right forearm is noticeably bigger than my left, it look like I have spent my time doing a different kind of slapping...

 

[toomanybasses]

Instead of reading Playboy you hit it off with a copy of Bass Player magazine

AND you can't find the centerfold!!!

 

[Igital]

When you have so many bass-related bookmarks in your browser it takes you forever to find the one you're looking for and you have no idea where many of them actually leads any longer

 

[Piotr]

When you are walking on the street and listening to some music while you play the right hand part of the bass lines against the edge of your jean's pocket.

Of course, guilty

 

[Emanuel Apascaritei]

when all you did in your work time is reading the 30 pages on this thread and getting angry when someone (customer) asks you something because it´s getting you off the thread.

 

[CarolatSheLives]

When your 40th birthday cake is in the shape of your bass and your wife gives strict colour-matching instructions to cake-maker because "he loves the colour"

That cake rocks! Happy belated.

 

[Jack017]

When your entire family imposes a new house rule; No slapping after 7:30

 

[RedBastard]

Also when you fall asleep playing your bass.

Guilty. Sometimes my partner goes to take the bass while I'm asleep and I grab onto it like someone's trying to steal it...

 

[NickInMesa]

When you have no clue what's on TV after 9pm.

 

[chokeslam512]

When foreplay with your wife/GF includes your rig and low B string.

 

[Hector_G]

uh.. maybe there are some things I should keep to myself...
but...

When after a miserably failed relationship, you move back in with your grandparents and don't really mind at all because you'll finally get to afford all the toys you've been wanting to buy the whole time you were with your girlfriend but she wouldn't let you because she was an evil selfish succubus and now it's going into the second year that you're still living with your grandparents and you kind of want to move out but you're getting too greedy with all the extra money you have that would be spent on rent.

:deep inhale:

...and you keep telling yourself that your almost done buying everything you could possibly need but then here comes another Warwick on sale in the forums here and it throws everything off because there goes all the money you WERE saving to get a place of your own and then we're back to square one.

So... uh... yeah.
