Some of the following were taken from the Talk Bass Forum. Some are mine.
- You're watching School of Rock and get mad when everyone gets a solo except the bassist
- Your bass collection is worth more than your car
- You wake up in the morning with your bass in your bed and your husband on the floor
- You walk by the frozen section and out of the corner of your eye you SWEAR you saw a box of "Bartolini" pasta before realizing it says "Bertoli"...
- When your Personal license plate on your car just says E,A,D,G
- You into Bass Pro shop and go looking for the Fenders
- You've purchased clothing items just because they match the finish on your bass
- You get irritated when the only music related earrings you can find have treble clefs on them
- You ask your husband to renew your subscription to Bass Player magazine. . . as your Valentine's Day gift
- Your car stereo settings look like this:
Treble: |
Bass: ||||||| - You hear the words "G-string" and don't think about pole dancers
- When you're typing, you slap the spacebar every single time.

- While at the paint store selecting colors for your house, you search for " Fender Vintage Sunburst"
