Brag about your music related gifts!

Sign in to disble this ad
Gifts you've given or received. If you got/ gave music related gifts for Christmas, birthday, anniversary, or anything else in the last week (though mostly Christmas) post it here.

If you didn't, that's great! Don't post saying "I'm ____ and don't believe in gifts/Christmas/whatever". Still feel free to contribute if you have something to contribute.


Anyways, my parents bought me a record/tape/CD player with a radio in it. Along with it, they got me a bunch of vinyls from hair bands. Off the top of my head, it was Dokken, Ratt, Blue Oyster Cult, Heart, and Guns N' Roses. I already had The Wall by Pink Floyd and The Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson. While it still hasn't convinced me that vinyls are the only way to go, the sound quality's certainly great.

I also got a Digitech BP90 mutli effects pedal, which I love, a capo (I know some of you will think I'm crazy), a book filled with blank sheet music, and two fathead posters (Quiet Riot -- Metal Health, and something Ozzy)

Pictures will be up later if I feel like taking them.

I got a Danelectro Fabtone, Stu Hamm DVD, 2 sets of strings and gift certificate for a cd.

And last year I got a ukulele and a kazoo.

Every year keeps getting better and better. ^^

Gotta love Fliptops!

I got Meddle by Pink Floyd, and not much else was particularly musical :P

Could have done with some patch leads though tbh..

My wife picked this thing up at Costco for $150. I scoffed at the idea.

I stand corrected: This thing sounds amazing! Very cool acoustic imaging and it charges the ipods. Looks pretty cool to and the remote control lets you get into the menus.

Thanks honey!

I got one of these: http://www.guitarfetish.com/Super-LI...TE_p_2069.html
Also a Home Depot gift card to finish it off.
Plus, I got a Korg Monotron, which is pretty fun.

I gave my son a Squier Mini Strat which actually plays pretty well, but the tuners suck.

PG&E decided that I didn't need electricity today. Good thing half the Fiance's family wasn't supposed to be there and there wasn't about $80 of meat in the oven when we went dark.

And I got a room that I can dedicate to studio type activities

Man that is BS. I can sympathize. I ruined my holiday prime rib roast with a german oven set to 250 C not 250 F!

Closest thing I got to music is a shirt that I'll be wearing to play a gig on the 31st. :P
Although it is the most comfortable shirt in the world.
