But yes, I agree wholeheartedly re the balance of beers across the bar. The insidious effect even seems to be creeping into our christmas and winter beers, which I normally look forward to for their ominous blackness - but no, yesterday I tried Wychwood's Brewdolph, a "golden christmas ale." It was nice enough, and I tip my hat to their terrible pun, but since when has christmas been a time for golden ales? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays it actually worries me, because it seems to be the marker of a pub that doesn't care about ale but is just trying to stop the ale drinkers from going to a different pub. Seven times out of ten, it's badly looked after, and tastes watery and stale. S.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Music related - a Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates Trembucker to load into my strat. I'd quite like some more sheet music to practice with too. Other than that (apart from a new Stingray 5!) I'm quite happy with my gear these days Non-music. Magic props are always good - but muggles don't know what to buy. Magic books can be good. I have a big selection of films that always needs adding to. Maybe one of those beer selection boxes or a nice bottle of wine. I'm pretty easy really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpw5150 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 For me; Decent headphones - my neighbour has expressed displeasure at my bass playing and I don't want to engage with anyone on my London commute.... For Mrs GPW5150; A new watch and a coffee pod stand...**She lost an Omega Seamaster that I gave her many years ago and I am getting sick of used coffee pods/boxes all over the place For Junior #1; Rollerblades, Magic kit, Nintendo DS game and some other stuff For Junior #2; No idea! Probably pink and fluffy... Family; Either an air hockey table or a Nintendo Switch..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 New stage gear for Glam Rock band i'm in. Made by same guy who made Glitter Bands gear. 🎅 And we got a great price on our gear cause the drummer knew him from his days in Glitter Band in 90's. I'm chuffed.

Then in the space of 24hrs I'd seen, pondered and paid for a (hopefully) dream bass, it'll be here on Tuesday. I would do a NBD as it'll be an interesting one but as it's R related I'm not sure I'm allowed, and the model doesn't end in 0,1,2,3 or 4. Oops 😁 NBD is compulsary. Nice one. I might actually buy myself another Ric bass. Last one i had was in 80's. Probably a nice blue one. Enjoy and please share your thoughts and delights.

BassTractor Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Nothing much. I'm the modest type. I just hope someone who loves me enough buys me an Arturia Matrixbrute synthesizer wait what's the beautiful, knobby thing standing just behind me with its fantastic modulation matrix? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Barb steward had set a 50 quid limit for Secret Santa (and don't forget to enlist, folks), and as this was £59.99, nobody on BC was gonna give it to me.

Graham Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 My wife told me what my present was the other day, a couple of hours with her away from the kids for an afternoon, including a trip to my favourite burger joint. Sounds amazing 😍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stylon Pilson Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 (edited) Incidentally, I want to know if anyone else does this: in the past I've received minor grief from extended family about them not knowing what to get me for Christmas, so now from about September onwards, anything I need, but not urgently, I'll put on my Amazon wishlist. This means that I now have a post-Christmas tradition of "mopping up" - basically doing a big Amazon order to buy myself all the things that, while not urgent 3 months ago, I'm now crying out for, because no-one bought them for me.
