TimR I couldn't agree more with you on that one.

heck, I wrote the book on THAT one! Worst example was probably a primo 1965 Hofner Beatle Bass I scored from Manny's and had shipped via FedEx.

The darned driver showed up at the kitchen door right as my wife was in the kitchen and I was really cutting some dados to distract her enough to hide that big shipping box in the potting shed before she realized what had happened. It was like a Marx Brothers movie.

Since she has learned to keep a count on the number of hardshell cases all over the house it has slowed me down considerably.

I have to store stuff at our music room at work to get past her eagle eye.

NO WAY, I can't get away with anything! Everytime I buy someting new she always finds out. She loves coming to my gigs just to try and catch me with a new bass! LOL

Hey Tony,

Now I know why you purchased that stock pile of Mosrite bass cases you occasionally sell on ebay. Keep her confused. :lol:

Maybe that's why I have so many now. When I was married my wife wouldn't let me buy any. :lol:

DITTO on what Billy said (LOL!).

I'll be in the Music Room, and she'll come in, stare at my new (old) guitar that I smuggled in earlier,
and ask "When did you buy that???" I'll usually respond with something like "Hon, this is the 1st guitar
you saw when we were first dating." :shock:

..........there's a pause, and she goes "Oh".........
But I have had a few close calls :roll:
