Dream bass

[nofi]

i have sort of a special birthday coming up in a few months. my wife came up to me the other day and says she was planning on buying me my dream bass as a gift. she said something vintage/expensive that i would never buy for myself. i told her that is very sweet of you but i'm happy with the stuff i have.(2 cheap basses, 1 amp). what a gem she still is after 31 years of putting up with me.

31 years!  Congrats!  I'm working on 13 with my second (and last) wife.  You can always get a nice old P bass.

So , is it the fact that you'll be 60 what makes it special or is it something else? Damn, I'm a nosey SOB .
You're a lucky guy .  Actually, I'm a pretty lucky guy too. My wife did the same thing for me a couple years ago. She wanted to buy me a Tacoma Thunderchief and I just could not allow myself to be that self indulgent.  I've got enough stuff to keep me happy and I really hesitate when it comes to  dropping an excessive amount of cash on something that is more of a Want than a Need .
I had to talk HER in to going the cheaper route and buying me the Olympia.
Anyway, I know how you feel buddy. Sometimes life is pretty good

You are a lucky man indeed!

I've received a few basses for anniversaries myself...

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Congratulations!

Congrats! I can imagine you don't want her to buy you a very expensive bass, but ask her for just a nice and affordable one!

Are you offering him the Buzzard for sale Chris?

Congratulations on No. 31!

Sounds like you are an extremely lucky man.

Be good to her.

What's it gonna be...? the BIG Five-O...? 

[leftybass]

I remember the "BIG Five-O"!

[nofi]

i remember the big five o too. now it's the bigger, more craptacular six oh!

there rick, you happy now.

[rahock]

  Hey, be careful and don't go farting dust all over the place. I heard that can happen once you hit 60.

There is that old expression for those that hit the "BIG Six-O" - the classic three laws...

1 - Take a p*ss at every opportunity...
2 - If you get a "woody" (which I believe is a US expression ), use it, even if you are on your own...
3 - Never, EVER, trust a fart...

First time I heard of this one was from Billy Connolly... Hoots Mon...

Congratulations, nofi! wow
31 years married & turning 60!! Pretty good accomplishments for a Rocker!!

I've still got that '53 Gibson; if she's willing to go 10k, it's yours.
You'd have to flip it back to righty tho. Hmmm I've got the original bridge somewhere. heh
