[lidl e]

And akg 240 mkIIs

I just have been a good boy this year because Santa (MrsRocks) has been very generous with me.

A Christmas Elf!... Nice...

[Lozz196]

A nice Mono GS1 Long strap. Had them before, sold on as wanted to stay with the look of my Dunlop ones but the back now dictates make life as easy as possible.

I’m at home surrounded by family, kids and grandchild. For the first year ever, I haven’t got a single card or present (maybe they’re teasing me 😂) but you know what? I’m not bothered and I couldn’t be happier. I consider myself a very lucky man and truly feel for those not as fortunate. A new Precision would have been nice though 😀

 

Happy Christmas to you all!

My MIL got me a strap. I didnt want to take the fosters so i justxgot a HB cheapie from thomann. 

 

It's alrighr, ill keep it, but that one looks more like what id want. 

 

How long is long? 

[Lozz196]

Not got a tape measure but if you look at my avatar pic that’s how low I wear my bass and the Mono will go about another 3 or 4 inches longer - for reference I’m 6ft.

Interesting.  That might be too long for me even, and I'm 6'6"

Mrs Bassfinger bought me a mandolin.

[Skybone]

A couple of sets of strings from the kids. Boring, but useful. 👍

Fantastic little rig. I used to have the same setup. You must have been a very good boy this year! 😁

[DGBass]

One of these. The tree was more kind of sitting on top of it rather than the item being under it. Early 80's MK2 GP11 1110 100watt 4x10 combo. Thank you Santa🎄My back hates you! Oh and a Boss TR2.

[Dr.Dave]

RS 66s. When a man is tired of Rotosounds he's tired of life ! 

 

Though I don't recommend putting them on after 5 glasses of French 75 which is what I just did !!

Remo drum skins

You slicing the veg?

[Lozz196]

Nice one, I’ve been thinking about DR Black Beauties for a while which are apparently quite like Hi-Beams, just black & coated.

[PaulThePlug]

@drTStingray... Never new Phil Lynott played a 6 string left paw?..

[drTStingray]

Beautifully posed though eh (I think they had some sort of Gibson deal for a while) - fear not, Louis played a Precision, then a Stingray (and Sabre) and also an Alembic in the 70s- early 80s era.

 

Some great bass parts in the book!! 
 

That pose is, of course, Musicman’s original symbol - appears on several albums (Louis with a Stingray, and a Precision at the start).

Nowt. A book on trees and a belt for me. Currently laid low with the lurgy so have spent most of the day in bed coughing and wheezing. 

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

Nothing bass related which is just the way I like it.
