How did you get your wives agree with you buying a such expensive Bass?

my first wife was working a lot and very agressive or angry when I buyed 2 alembics with MY money in 2 years. My actually wife is not working, she said do what you want my darling, your work for you and our home
;o))
Two positions, two wife, two mentality, two economic-social-religious origins.
 
I prefer my actual situation  
Are you afraid by your wife ?

How did you get your wives agree with you buying a such expensive Bass?:  My wives pitched in just to get me outta the house.

Jewelry helps.  
 
Bill, tgo

I just went ahead and did it.  It was my money after all, and she has hers.

P.S.  +1, Bill.  Bling always helps.

But sweetheart it was on sale.
I think I'll name it after you.

Every bonus check for 20+ years was spent on vacations, fun stuff for her and then eventually the kids - almost on anything but me. And then when the time was right I applied The James Malthumb Sure Fire How To Get Your Bass By Trading Up approach, that helps ease the burden.

Well, when I realised the lifetime costs of supporting my bass was much cheaper It made more sense to divorce her first. hehehehe
 
 
Sorry I couldn't resist.

My Spouse-ectomy cost me two of my Alembics...and I wish I had them back...which is more than I can say about her.

I'm single. It has its benefits.

Can you say... house addition: specifically gourmet Kitchen.

So, the other night I'm headed out to a gig. While loading my truck I'm making those old man noises lifting my Acme B-2, my wife looks at me and says, can't we find you something lighter?
I really, really love my wife. Looking for a neo loaded cabinet(s)now. My last Alembic,  she bought me for my birthday.

Even though I earn the income for our family, the wife runs the household and I would never make a major purchase without her approval.  That being said, she understands how important music is to me and she has actually ENCOURAGED me to make many of my purchases.

I have to add that a couple of years ago my wonderful wife told me you really should have an old Martin and let me get a 1953 D-28.  
 
Bill, tgo

Look _ @ Martin 0-18 !  it's not mine , but a friends .  He showed it to me about 2 weeks ago, so I  took a pic !__  Sorry I did not want to derail this thread _____ LOL -
