Talking Christmas presents for bassists?

Sign in to disble this ad
This isn't FullMetal im his fiance, I kinda hacked him XD

Every year I have got him, basically crap for christmas, but this year I want to get him something of use.

What does a bassist want for christmas?

As you probably know he has a huge pedal board and another new bass (again!)

What fun things can I get him that he can use with bass playing, he recently got a fret light, so im thinking something along those lines.

Thought all you people would be best to get a few ideas from.

Thanks in advance

He's obsessed with anime and red hot chili peppers. You probably already know that about him. He says he really wants to cover his bass in anime and red hot chili peppers stickers. That's what you should get him. Oh, and a massage.

The only winning move is not to play.

Looking at his pots and some of his gear, I would say he has his dirt list covered. You might look for a modulation type effect (phaser, chorus, flanger) or a time based effect (reverb or delay).

Do you have a budget?

That's the inlay I think. I don't know if they come as stickers or not. I wouldn't think so but I could be wrong.

Maybe you should express interest in his pedals and ask him to explain them to you, you don't have to listen, just pretend to, and then ask what kinds he's probably going to add to his collection. Unless he says it. Then you know what to get him lol.
