Busted!

[Zaphod B]

So that cheap Guitar Fetish Strat clone I bought a few weeks ago...

As an experiment I did not tell my wife that I bought it.

I have had the thing out, playing it, and in a stand in plain sight for weeks now. One night I was playing it on the couch with her sitting next to me while we were talking and made a point of bringing attention to it ("I bought this as a blemish") and I know she saw the shipping box in the garage.

Tonight she came home after a school function, and I was in the bedroom playing and we were chatting with our daughter. She turned to me and said, "Is that new? How many is that now?"

I said, "You've been seeing me play this for weeks! And, that's eight."

She said, "That's what we do with our clothes!"

Hahahaha, we were both busted!

Funny. I am greatful that my GF is a guitar player. But she has sworn me to a moritoriam on purchases. Oops. I just just bought a new strat. I think this is gonna hurt. Not in a good way.

I built a guitar rack out of PVC a couple of years ago (back in the day when I had 16 of various kinds).

A friend visited with his family from St Louis. His wife told him, "You need to build one of those." He said "I didn't know you wanted me to have so many guitars!" She replied...

..."at least it'll put a limit on how many you have!"

I visited him last month. He has six guitars hanging on the wall of his living room, and several more down stairs in his music room. Thank God he escaped the limitations.

Me, I've got eight in the rack and one more at our rehearsal space. Somehow I've got to fill in those empty spaces.

I have 13 in my mixed harem....which are in my bedroom, which has been made into a studio, with all the other gear I sleep in the living room.....and my babies aren't going anywhere, for anybody.

I have 10 and I only know 3 chords.

 

[true-eurt]

What's a chord?

 

[dragonworks]

What's a chord?

a chord is a portion of a circle.

 

[Unsprung]

I'm lucky. I'm single, so I don't feel bad at all for owning 17 guitars.

A circle is of 5ths?...the music of math.

 

[true-eurt]

I know what it feels like to be busted...

 

[Dani Pace]

I've got 15 guitars and 5 bass guitars in my harem, only one of them was smuggled in. I did get a couple of them by trading which took my wife a few weeks to notice "something different."

are you all pussy-whipped bitches here or what? do you all really have to consult your GF/wife if you want to buy more music gear?

If you work, pay your bills and want to buy some music gear with your own money then you should do it.

"If you work, pay your bills and want to buy some music gear with your own money then you should do it."
Who's not mortgaged, or not on a budget, or not in a sharing relationship then?
For my part seven guitars, two basses, 1 'cello & 1 violin - at least 4 of which were bought for me by my spouse.

You're lucky. My in-laws don't have any musical talent, or interest in making or listening to music, well they listen some I guess.
They think I am out of line for spending money on my musical equiptment.

this is what I have
1. Kramer focus 2000
2. Peavey bravo
3. Mass attenuator
4. 4 effects pedals
5. a boss e/q.

I can't imagine having a les paul and telling them in cost $3000
I am the only one with a hobby though.

 

[Dogman]

My wife buys me all my gear..my new guitar, bass and drums are all gifts. I think she likes me...

"Hey Joe" is a circle of fifths.

Make that 11...I just found another one I hid under the bed.

i just got a new power conditioner and patchbay the other day...only told the woman about buying the PC - didn't mention the patchbay. UPS showed up the other day with the patchbay while she was here...i figured i was busted, but then saw that my grandpa had sent me a package as well, and managed to slip it into the house and then the rack unnoticed. i wonder how long it'll be until she notices it and gives me shit.

If you work, pay your bills and want to buy some music gear with your own money then you should do it.

you're obviously either a)not married, or b)rich

the thing is, everytime a woman sees you spend X amount on something, she has to point out all the shit that she wants, that she could've gotten with said amount. "i could've gotten those shoes...or a new vacuum...or a sweater...or...".

i think you get the point.
