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

replace work with school....and you'll know why I nearly failed 2 classes :eek:


true story...I would have gotten great grades, but 2 of my classes were largely homework and homework test related, I rarely did my homework because I played to much bass.
 
The same thing happened to me.. I had like 10 minutes to spare before i left to go to my college class. So then I started playing and what I thought was only 10 minutes of playing ended up being and hour and a half. So I ended missing my class cause I was having so much fun playing my bass.
 
When you're at a concert, watching music on TV, etc & you tell you're spouse: "1999 Fender American Deluxe Jazz 5" & she says with out hesitation: "That's what I thought."

Or you see (actually, I see) Jason NewSted, Tim Commerford, Will Lee, etc playing live & say: "Hey, I played that bass, not one like it, THAT bass."
 
when you have a huge amout of homework due the next day, and you gotta look something up online, but talkbass is your homepage, so you open it and see a thread that catches your eye, so you look at that...then 2 hours L8er, you havent done your homework, you gotta go to bed, and you learned about how many Sadowskys Nino has.
