You might be a bass geek.

This has probably been done before, I didn’t look, anyway, just for fun, inspired by swamp_bass's recent post "Y'all have made me a bass geek", here is,
You know you’re a bass geek when;
You browse and post Talkbass threads at work.
You can fix anything on your bass without a tech.
You swap out the pickups on a new bass, no matter how good they are, because it might sound better with the other brand.
You spend money to reduce your tuner weight then spend more money to increase the bridge weight.
You put strap locks on your bass but ride your motorcycle without a helmet.
You would take your wife to Anaheim, CA on vacation if NAMM was in town.
You install a passive, active, series, parallel, treble boost, kill switch on one pot.
You play with a pick when no one is looking.
You can always justify another bass with sound technical reasons.
You measure your string height with a feeler gage.
You change the pick guard to look like your favorite rock god.
You change the pick guard so you don’t look like your favorite rock god.
You calculate the tension of each string and try to balance them.
Your bass cable has the lowest impedance you can find.
You keep your basses in gig bags so you can get more of them in the closet.
You swap capacitors out because the other one is always better.
You zip tie or twist your pickup lead wire to make it neat.
You cut and install your own bone nut, or pick guard.
You like to modify cheap basses to see how good you can make them sound and play.
You write on blogs about bass stuff.
You were shaking your head yes on more than a third of this stuff.
Takes one to know one. Have fun. Post whatever comes to mind.

 

Ok, lets add belongs to multiple "clubs" on Talkbass.

 

It also ocured to me,

If you take more pictures of basses than women, you might be a bass geek.
If your pocket protector contains a truss rod wrench, a saddle wrench, and a polarity tester,...
If you own vintage push back wire, or know what it is.
If you dressed up for Halloween as John Entwhistle and didn't understand why nobody knew who you were...
If after typing "S" in the autocomplete of your browser, it fills in Stewmac instead of Sports Illustrated Swim suit edition...
If you put a Fender neck on an AXL body, oooooooh...
If you know enough to write jokes about being a bass geek... you are one.
