Johnny Wishbone Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Smooth Hound wireless. Not used it at rehearsal/gig yet but after a couple of hours noodling around at home I'm already thinking of getting a second set just for the house!

PatrickJ Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I got a neat little Fender Custom Shop tool kit, fits perfectly into the pocket my gig bag. Sadly I must have been on the naughty list as Santa didn't bring me the Hyper Luminal compressor I was hoping for 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oZZma Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) A soldering iron to make pedals and cables, from my stepfather. He is a retired electrical engineer so he was very happy when I told him I wanted to learn this stuff.

Passinwind Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 My luthier friend dropped this in my lap last week. Part gift, part barter for preamp design work I've done for him. Purpleheart fingerboard, custom neo sidewinder pickups optimized for slide bass. The bottom knobs are a temporary set I put on so I could get started on the electronics package. I'll probably go with something blond to complement the pickup covers and headstock. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I'm claiming my Jack Casady was a three-weeks-early Christmas present to myself and not just another result of random GAS 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Nothing bass related as such but some t shirts with bass related taunts and a fender and Marshall fleece hoodie (two in total) also an iPhone X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Just the Geddy Lee book I bought for myself Son #1 got a Darkglass 3BK, son #2 got a Hofner Ignition violin bass (he likes the Beatles) - so I still have new stuff to play with 😜 I may have to give up hopes of the Norris family band though with 3 bass players, unless we just play Big Bottoms over again 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knirirr Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I received a book with lots of example blues bass lines, with accompanying CD. Perhaps, with some work, this may even result in my blues playing becoming somewhat interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJ Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Well after 40 years of playing, Mrs JPJ bought me a beginners book of reading the dots and an introductory lesson with a local music school. This is something I’ve wanted to do for years, especially as I’m working with ‘proper’ musicians these days. So yes, this 54 year old is going back to school and I couldn’t be more excited 😎 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) Nothing bass related from the family, but I got myself a Christmas present - the standard Basschat IEM starter pack: ZS10s and a P2, looking forward to my first gig of 2019 in Jan to try them out in anger.
