So my wife and I just had a fun argument.
I finally have opportunity where I can start making money as a musician as soon as I get an amp. So I've been searching and searching for the best possible deals to fit my needs and wants and ended up with a budget of around $1,250 or so.
$150 for the head
$200 for a new bass (Not in desperate need, but I figure I should probably upgrade from my worn out Peavey since I'm going to bed doing studio work)
$900 for the cab (on affordable monthly payments) or roughly $600 used
So I'm using up the last of my PTO time at work to add the hours to my check, and then I got my income tax coming up. So if I'm getting the head with my next check, then at the end of the month I got my Income tax as well as my last Feb payday (with the added PTO) I'll be able to get everything and still pay my share of the bills.
No matter how I try to explain it to my wife, she just keeps hearing $1,250. She thinks its WAY to much and instead wants to set my budget at $200....
Last $200 amp I had was a Peavey TNT 115S. The best thing about that amp was when I sold it... and even then I ended up taking a $120 loss on it.
So I've made up my mind. I'm doing whatever the fuck I want and if she doesn't like it then that's not my problem. I have a fleshlight I don't need her.
