Cat Burrito Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 Hardly exciting this year but I did get the nice faux crocodile case which sits amongst my small collection of folk / Americana instruments. 2 Quote

cascanicoff Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 I bought myself a couple of bass books (I can't help it, I am a bookworm). But my real self-present was this beauty: You can't figure out how happy I am with it. Or maybe you can indeed... 9 Quote

There was a lovely green one for sale here recently but it didn’t hang around long. I really love the shape. Quote

Harps Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 (edited) After much hinting to my wife (‘that one please!’), I am now the happy owner of a Harley Benton fretless. I’ve not had much time on it yet as we visited family. Hopefully over the weekend I’ll get to have some fun with it. first impressions were that it had the worst setup I’ve ever seen, the strings were flush against the fretboard. I’ve adjusted it a bit but I’ve got a set of flats to try on it so I’ll set it up properly with then. my other bass related gift was Pearl Jam the complete scores song book, which is both amazing and a little daunting! It will allow me to get my Ament on with some fretless songs! Edited December 31, 2021 by Harps 5 Quote

Enjoying it so far, even with telegraph wire strings 😌 That's a beauty, Is this the one from Bass Direct? The Sledgehammer Sabre? Quote

Badscrew Posted January 9, 2022 Posted January 9, 2022 Please don't throw me out, for Christmas I've got a GUITAR It's a Baton Rouge X54S from Thomann, a small size ("parlor size") electric acoustic. It's very pretty and plays nicely too! 3 Quote
