fender73 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Surely he's a Fender P Bass player. He'd like to play other makes too but he endorses Fender, and there is a Claus in his contract..... ahem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloudburst Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Tut tut. None of you lot would make it through your first Christmas contract as Santa <rolls eyes>. Obviously it would have to be a Steinberger XL2 in order to fit down the chimney. :-) CB * Although I'd be tempted to mention the recently announced Ernie Ball Music Man 'Sledge' series basses.

Black Coffee Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 This thread is getting as cheesy as last years Stilton. Between Sledge basses and no sanity clauses, whats next ? Good King Wenceslas sat down, To play some bass this evenin; Laid the notes out all around Deep and crisp and even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the red colour has to be the same as used by Coca-Cola, since "Santa Claus" as we know him in modern commercial Christmas and holiday adverts is based on the original 1931 Coca-cola marketing campaign: [url="http://www.adbranch.com/coca-cola-santa-claus-1931-1949/"]http://www.adbranch.com/coca-cola-santa-claus-1931-1949/[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
