    NBCD!!

    So I just turned 50 on Sunday, & look what my precious bride made me! What a cake topper! All handmade/hand drawn. You wouldn't believe the lengths she went to to duplicate all this. An exact replica of my main bass & my gigging rig!! Extra points if you can guess what everything is. One...

    What does your wife think of Talkbass?

    I have seen quite a few “my wife” mentions on here recently. Makes me curious…

    What is your significant other's attitude towards your bass playing?...

    An informal poll to see how much support, or lack of, most of us are getting at home. Just to clarify the poll boundaries... Supportive could be anything from "Play me something, honey" to expressing a sincere interest in basses you like or the music you're listening to or just sharing your...

    What's cheap, red, short scale, lefty and arrives from New Hampshire while the wife is at work?

    I swung and missed at iagtrplyr's in the classifieds, so I had to drown my sorrows with Kurt. Now I have to clean up really well (packing material bits incur a dressing down, not for sneakiness but because it's bits of packing material invading the dining room), have some fun and then put it in...

    Your names for you gear vs. your spouse's names for your gear

    Hey guys, I recently watched this video featuring a guitar player's wife going over his gear and testing her knowledge. It reminded me of two Christmases ago, when after a few beers my girlfriend and went through my gear that still resides at my parent's house. The results are as follows...

    Billy Sheehan "wife" build

    A work in progress in my shop. Not a exact replica but it has all the important elements Gibson EB0/Precision pickups, Telecaster bass neck, Ash Precision body. The bass will be wired V/V/T with one output as I split my signal into two amps where Billy uses two independent outputs one for...

    My wife bought me a Stingray! My first MADE IN USA bass.

    Wife: Let's go out. Me: (kidding) if you gonna buy me a bass. Wife: Ok (I was thinking she was also kidding me). After she's done shopping.....(for almost the whole day!) Wife: Where is the guitar store? Me: (heart beating fast) You're kidding, right? Wife: Do I look like I'm kidding? Inside the...

    Wife Doesn’t Know

    So, Friday night (Saturday early hours) after a long week and a few glasses of fine Kentucky (as if there were some other kind) bourbon I decided to give in to my urges of lust. This sexy, long, lean and aggressive black beauty of a bass begged me to give her a home so, I put in the online...

    I told my wife this

    She insists on wearing these winter leggings with little sleighs on them. The sleighs were not printed correctly on the leggings. OK--they look stupid. I told her if she continued to wear them, I was going to buy a faux man bun. I have a pretty short haircut. She just slitted her eyes at me and...

    Wife got me a new Fender Jazz, is it authentic?

    I know there's a lot of knowledgeable folks here on Fender. It's definitely not a player and the intonation is awful, but I think it has a place in my collection. Happy Holidays everyone!

    NBD - my wife letting me relive my youth

    My wonderful wife and son made me very happy by getting me this beauty for Christmas. I’d mentioned that I’d really love to get another Thunderbird and showed her a picture of Epiphone Classic PRO in black. Much to my surprise, this showed up on my doorstep.

    What my wife knows, and I didn't know she knew

    My wife is a non-musician, but she's been hanging around my playing for 35 years (we met at one of my gigs). She mentioned something about instruments on TV the other day, and I realized I hadn't ever asked what she knew about bass and all things musician. Here are the results of my interview...

    WIFE IN A CAR ACCIDENT !

    She totaled her car. She says she is okay but I am not sure. She was still mentally recovering from the shock. She is with my son waiting for a tow truck about 20 miles south of S.F. I came home from work but she wants me to wait at home. Sitting on pins and needles right now. The last time this...

    The wife says don't sell this one!

    So, my other half has been pretty good about my bass hoarding over the years, even when I spent months without playing and still bought basses. The current count is around 15 (I think). Over the years, she has also given me a few basses as presents (xmas, burthday etc.), the last bass related...

    Anyone know why my wife is cross with me? I can't work it out.

    Need to learn two new songs for a gig tomorrow - draw a line between the band members on the map and I'm in the middle, so makes sense to all come to me - we're a Beach Boys tribute, so we all sing, and the two new songs have us all singing different parts through both these new songs, so we...

    Not sure where this should be posted, here or bass humor, but feel free to move or delete as necessary... Let me start off by saying that my wife is my hero. She is the primary reason that my son and I manage to exist and not walk out of the house every day looking like we got dressed in total...

    NBD: My wife loves me!

    At the beginning of the year I started saving for another bass. I wasn't entirely happy with my Schecter, the first 5 string I ever owned, and was hoping to at least get closer to my eventual goal of a 34" 5 string J bass with 18mm - 19mm spacing. Being a lefty, and hoping to keep my budget...

    And then my wife says... (bass man cave post)

    "You could sell one of those basses and have enough money to finish the Sheetrock in this room" Please excuse the mess. My kids just finished their daily ransacking ritual.

    Just wanted to throw this out there, and get some feedback, horror stories, or (hopefully) some success stories. My wife and I work at the same company, but in very different departments. She's in charge of marketing, and I am more or less entry level elsewhere. My background is...

    New Bass, Great Wife

    A few weeks ago I was reminded how great my wife is. I was lifting weights in our basement, music blasting and wife upstairs on the phone. I had 245lbs on the bar. I was trying to get one or two more reps on the bench when I felt a tearing sensation in my chest. I immediately put the weight...

    ESP for Christmas

    Mom and wife pitched in together for my Christmas present. My wife and I picked it out. I've been a fan of the ESP 400 level basses with the EMG 35dc, and 40dc pickups for a while. Great gigging basses that don't break the bank but are great for hard rock and metal. I currently own a f-415fm...

    So, my wife and I were watching HGTV/Macca joke

    Watching a show about "tiny houses." One house shopper was a bass player relocating from Nashville to Santa Barbara, CA. One thought that would NOT leave my mind was this--What do you call a bass player who can afford a real house in Santa Barbara? Answer: Paul McCartney!
