Am i unreasonable?

[Stingray Matt]

Just moved into a house with the love of my life. Tonight i'm going to pick up up the other love of my life, my Teal Stingray from my mums.

now, would it be unreasonable to hang the Stingray on the wall in the front room?? My other half seems to think so. It's ok for her to hang pictures from Ikea up in there but i can't hang up the Stingray??

Granted, she has allowed me a music/study room which will house the Ashdown but i think the Stingray would look fab hung on the wall.

Opinions please.

as long your first-love-of-your-life agree ... it def look fab on wall

 

[johans]

Johans... not married are ya?..
Matt, all I've gotta say is a happy "Love of your Life" means a happy home ... be satisfied with the music room, let your "Love" blossom and be the home-maker that's wanting to burst out of her, she'll be happier for it and you'll be all the more rewarded

LOL!

I'm allowed a maximum of two instruments in my front room, preferably only one. Amplifiers are not allowed. Neither are wall hangers.

You're not going to win this one

I know. I think the music room will suffice. She's already whinging about me leaving the toilet seats up so i won't push the guitar hanging issue.

I haven't played for a while so i'm itching to get my guitars back. I'll be locking my self in that music room i think!!

A bass on a regular stand in the corner might be less offensive to her... but I wouldn't bother trying to convince her that it's an ornamental feature. I've tried, it doesn't work!

The usual complaint in my house is that "basses do not get seats"

 

[Stingray Matt]

Yeah, that's an option. I can't see it making a difference to tell you the truth. I'll have to accept that she's got her way...

Very sage words above ...
I'm the unreasonable one ... some of you may recall words by my dead evil twin brother ... I live with his legacy ... my living room is a bass player haven ... no mere woman dares to enter ... that's OK for me because I've been where you're going and I'm now happy to be where I'm at ...

[clue - based on some considerable research ... men are essentially polygamous, wanderers ... women tend to be territorial ... they hate competition they feel they can't win against (meow, meow) ... depending on the woman, guitars (basses), and motorcycles (possibly cars), are considered as female gender objects - unfair competition, by many women ... up to a point, they like their men to be involved with these objects, (for all kinds of interesting reasons), and they like the rush they get when they feel they have lured their prey away from the competition ... but there comes a flashpoint of conversion (similar to the time of child bearing) when the woman wants to exercise her power over all other female objects and become the dominant one - queen of her domain ... like other queens in Mother Nature's Empire, women tends not to be polygamous ... they tend to take their thrones very seriously ... give up on the living room, enjoy your music room, and you just may avoid the doghouse]

Dude,

Who's wearing the pants here? She "allowed" you a music room? You're in for along, bumpy ride, my man. Personally, I've never been a fan of hanging basses. You wouldn't hang your hammer or circular saw in the living room would you?

 

[Stingray Matt]

Well i can't say that a hammer or circular saw are particular loves of my life!

 

[Jazzbassman23]

I love my basses too, but they're just tools. Admittedly, EBMM are some damned nice tools, but tools nonetheless.

BTW, teal is my fav. I've got a teal/maple SR4 and a teal/maple Sterling. I'd have an SR5 in that color, but a black one came my way.

 

[Stingray Matt]

Teal is fab. I have a Stingray 4. Here's a pic:

oops...the pic didn't upload!

In my house, it's definately my wife that wears them

It's not a matter of who wears the pants. It's a matter of picking your battles. Besides--any attached man who tells you he wears the pants, and wins every argument is, quite simply, lying.

I get away with an upright in the corner of the living room and a single bass on a stand next to entertainment center, which is more than enough for me. Wall hangers are for studios, and workshops.

Heh... or about to be detached
