Lozz196 Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 I suppose they’re musically related, I got Andrew Ridgely’s and Debbie Harry’s autobiographies - now got to flip a coin as to which I read first. 1 Quote
bassfan Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 New Stereophonics album and my neighbour bought me a wooden box engraved with my name and “bass strings and things” which I thought was very thoughtful. 3 Quote
TheGreek Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) Not today...in my Secret Santa I got a mug with a message "I might look like I'm listening but in my head I'm playing guitar" and some bass shaped spoons. Edited December 25, 2019 by TheGreek 3 1 Quote
Harryburke14 Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 I got some guitar pedals - a fuzz and a Wah, and some velcro to stick it all to the board. Also had some Amazon gift vouchers that might go toward some cables or something Quote

Cool. I got a set of those last year. Still not even tuned them up 🙂. Quote

Crawford13 Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 I got this, it should keep me practicing for at least the next year... Quote
Bassfinger Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 (edited) Despite the title it is, fortunately, mainly proper music with not that much actual tab. Edited December 25, 2019 by Bassfinger 2 Quote

Then again she is the singer in my band so is sympathetic to the cause. I got her an IEM system. Edited December 25, 2019 by dave_bass5 1 Quote

BrunoBass Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 I’ve been thoroughly spoilt today by my good lady wife - including a couple of music related items. Mark Lewisohn’s The Complete Beatles Recording Sessions - delving deep into this book with a glass of quality IPA in my hand is my idea of heaven. Also, the 4 CD deluxe edition of a-ha’s Hunting High & Low. The prog rock fans amongst you may scoff but it’s one of my favourite albums and an absolute masterclass in quality pop music. Can’t wait to get stuck into all the outtakes and extras. Happy Christmas all! 1 Quote
Burns-bass Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 Everyone in my family kindly made a small contribution to a jazz bass I bought in December, so no wrapping paper, no wastage and no unwanted presents! Result. I also got an 850g bar of Cadbury’s and a a few books too. The best present was having an hour on my own to chill out and unwind after cooking for us all. Quote
HazBeen Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 I got sweaters and Tshirts...... oh and I agreed to a trade on BC plus payment of way more than I should.... but a very fine bass will be on it’s way to me soon. My own present of sorts. Quote
knirirr Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 I got a Vox curly lead and a "Tesco value bass player" T-shirt. Both should come in useful. Quote
franzbassist Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 My kids got me the rather wonderful Ronnie Lane six CD box set that came out earlier this year. 2 Quote
