FinnDave Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 My wife knows better than to buy me anything musical - she knows what is a must-have this month will quite probably be for sale before midsummer! She did give me a couple of waistcoats I'd admired in a Glastonbury shop recently which will be in my gig wardrobe next year, though.

lozkerr Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I bought my own. A set of IEMs, the score for The Wall and a day on my own today in a studio. Much better than enduring crap Christmas telly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickJ Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 A few bassy bits from the family this year: Jamiroquai Bass Book Vol 3 published by the awesome @Stuart Clayton Money for a pickup upgrade for my VS4 And tickets to go see the Tedeschi Trucks Band @ Wembley in Feb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Standing in the Shadows of Motown from my amazing wife. Can't wait to get in to that, though the kids somehow had other ideas of what to do with my time yesterday!! I also treated myself to a second hand squier classic vibe tele as I haven't had an electric guitar for a very long time and I'm bored of my acoustic and it's limitations. It arrived on Xmas Eve which was a nice result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I wouldn’t leave any keys on display either, but definitely keep the ones that can be scanned somewhere where they can’t. Have a safe Christmas and New Year 👊. Thanks - my BMW has keyless but it's been disabled, it's also in another town! If someone wants to nick my crusty Passat then good luck to them...

Mrs Bassfingers key becomes inactive if it doesn't sense motion for 4 minutes, making them completely inoperative until they are physically moved again. Fords of the last year or two are the same.

King Tut Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 A Harley Benton D Seed delay pedal, a Comfort Strapp and a subscription to Classic Rock magazine. Happy Colin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savethedaves Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) A Smoothhound wireless system - picked it up slightly before Christmas and it might be one of the best purchases I've made. No more kicking cables out of my board or getting tangled! Edited December 26, 2019 by Savethedaves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathy Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Mrs H did exceptionally well. I got a EHX Freeze pedal, a Levys strap, the Flea and Tony Iommi autobiographies, and a book by Zappa's former housekeeper. Most other gifts were either grooming or gin related.

Bobthedog Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I have been given something called a Skoog Music "Skwitch" No idea what it does yet but it is music connected and therefore should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 The closest I got to a bass related Xmas present this year was some baddass shoes (debuting at my next gig) and I did impress my step daughter by playing along with her favourite Little Mix song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Theodore Logan, III Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) I got the “Beldray Cordless Window Vac". Not quite musical but certainly produces a better sound than my bass playing (at least to the partners ears). Also works wonders removing the moisture from Windows, Glass and Mirrors!!! “WOOP, WOOP!!!" Ideal for clearing early morning condensation, misted car windscreens and steamed up shower rooms!!! My prayers have been answered!! It truly was a Christmas miracle!! I also got this “Darkglass" plectrum that came with a free gift.... I think it's a fancy doorstop...

Some years ago, before scanning became the way to take high value vehicles, the persons responsible would break into houses, often whilst the occupants were asleep, to remove keys that were visible and then take the car. Scanning removed that necessity. Now that some keys are harder to scan, thieves are falling back to what they used to do. Either way, key hooks and the like are bad news in the crime prevention arena. I feel I should point out that I live in an upstairs flat - my keys are only visible if you are 20ft tall! I also live in a cul de sac full of mainly old people and council tenants - your typical car stealing burglar is going to be looking elsewhere.

JapanAxe Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Mrs Axe got me a music/tab book of Brad Paisley guitar, at my specific request. Spending Christmas with outlaws and only brought my acoustic, but might have a run through some rhythm parts this evening. Also my daughter gave me a toy shaker which I suspect may have come from my grandkids’ toy box. I will keep it with my egg shakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
