Anyone buys themseves a Xmas present?

[Dave Vader]

Never


The dog is sometimes incredibly generous towards me though.

PS4!

I've even put it in the cupboard and I'm not going to open it until the 25th...even though I've already paid for it!

Bruce Springsteen's autobiography - half price at Waterstones - couldn't walk past it. To read during the holiday.

Gibson Les Paul Special double cut-away (Lucille look-alike) signed by B B King. The time of year is just a coincidence though. I won't get my hands on it until into the new year, for now I'll have to make do with feeling smug

[RhysP]

I'm thinking of buying myself a digital piano but I can't really justify the expense.

[LiamPodmore]

I bought myself Steep, Forza Horizon 3's Blizzard Mountain expansion and a cooling upgrade for my PC. Might get something else yet.

[Earbrass]

Had a rush of blood to the mouse finger and bought a Dave Smith Instruments Evolver Mono desktop synth on ebay. Fancied trying it out, and got it for a price where if I don't get on with it I can hopefully move it on without major loss. Touch and go whether it will arrive before xmas.

I bought myself a fish man preamp for my 12 string guitar. It has a tuner unlike the apc that comes as standard

There's time to read during the holidays?

Bag a pills ....

My wife and I bought each other a Roland Digital Piano for Christmas so I guess that counts. But my real indulgence each Christmas is to buy the double Crimble editions of Private Eye and New Scientist and find myself some space over Christmas to read them.

[Harryburke14]

of course. I havent got a mrs at the minute so i spoil me because i love me.

[Billy Apple]

I've got bits for my bike

[Lozz196]

Just ordered an Ashdown RM-500. If it works out ok I`ll probably defect from Aguilar to Ashdown as the sound seems to have a bit more oomph to it.

[Mudpup]

Just picked up a new compressor off here and treated myself to a Pedaltrain Metro 16 to stick it on and build a minimal pedalboard

[Cestrian]

Kala U Bass from Bass Direct. Best price I could find online and I'm loving the portability. Will be travelling with me pretty much every overnight stay. I took my Fender Jaguar to Australia last year and it was no fun lugging it around. Getting more accustomed to the polyurethane strings.

[lojo]

Not usually , but I brought a popmaster book for everyone at work and decided to get an extra copy for myself, does that count ?

[stingrayPete1977]

I've got welding tools from the wife for Christmas but I've a few more things in my watch list including a big bottle of gas which can't be posted so I might see if I can collect it while I'm off. We had a new car this year so that has wiped us out, jam sandwiches for Christmas at our house

[MisterT]

Finally decided on a Voodoo Lab ISO-5, picked it up from gear4music yesterday and MrsT is apparently going to wrap it up so I've something to open Sunday morning. I've even got the cordless drill on charge in readiness.

[funkgod]

Treated my self to an MXR talkbox it came today, iv just been aahhhaammmerrr .. pre checking it, you know, to make sure it work and that, i mean i would hate to open it on christmas day and find it does not work ,
its gooood

[itsmedunc]

As any BC'er knows. We buy ourselves presents, love them, think they are the bollo*ks and then sell them at a loss as we get GAS. Again!

[chriswareham]

Just bought a Commodore 64 and Steinberg Pro 16 sequencer software as a Christmas present to myself :-)

MIDI sequencing like it's 1984!

The Cat's never had a job for as long as I've known him. It's down to me to get presents for both of us.

This year it's a joint present. He gets loads of cheap pedals and I get a Diago Gigman pedalboard on sleep in.

No, but I bought myself an MXR Bass Envelope Filter for my 50th this year...

I bought myself one for Christmas!!

[BobVbass]

Tried my best but the chap seemed to take offence at me asking if he'd include postage in the price of the bass. Thought I'd save up instead now and buy myself a nice birthday present instead

[dmccombe7]

All from same bank account so doesn't really matter but i usually tell my wife what i would like and more than likely i'll just order it myself, she wraps it and hey ho Xmas is jolly and everyone's happy.
