What music-related gifts did you receive?

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

Hi everybody.

Just wanted to ask this question out of curiosity because one of my brothers surprised me with AC/DC's "Family Jewels" double DVD plus a "Live At Donington" poster . So, I'd like to know which music-related gifts you received. Thank you in advance!

Iron Maiden hoodie, Iron Maiden shirt (Fear of the Dark), iPod (worst present I have ever gotten, took me about 20 minuets to figer out how to turn it off), Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, and Somewere in Time.

A nice Dean Markley guitar stand, &(got it a couple of weeks ago but it's officially for Christmas)a 73 P-Bass.

Edit: ROON's post takes me back; I got LZ IV for Christmas about the time I picked up bass, 30 years ago. [wrinkley old smilie]

I bought my own biggest Christmas gift this year. I got Feelinlow's Lakland 55-02d. My wife got me several patch cables of assorted sizes, because she heard me b****ing while I was trying to hook up my studio goodies, all I had before were either the longest I could find (bass to amp) or the shortest I could find (effect pedal to effect pedal)

Also, my tuner disappeared somewhere in the house a couple of weeks ago. She heard me getting progressively crabbier about that and tried to get me a new tuner, which is to say she did get me a new tuner, just not one I'd have gotten myself(BOSS TU 80). But hopefully GC will take it back in and credit me toward one like the missing one(Intellitouch).

What better introduction to bass than Led Zep's "Black Dog"!

[dan.ablett]

i got a boss volume pedal, and the latest guy sebastian cd, which features heaps of original BB musicians, including steve cropper and duck dunn!

Less technically exciting but i got a book about all the Great Composers of history. Call me a nerd but i love music history. I mean say what you will, but there's a reason people still remember people like Bach and Beethoven hundreds of years later. Who could you say that about from the last century of pop music? The Beatles (that's my vote)? Stevie Wonder (also great)? Certainly not anything these days. Yes i'm a snob and i don't care.


I also got an iTunes gift card with which I bought some Decemberists stuff and the newest White Stripes album (which is rather good).

Oh man I got some sick stuff for the studio this year. New acoustic panels for building some bass traps, a new guitar rig, fender prosonic into green backs, and this really cool little synth called a thingamagoop. Its by bleeplabs.com I suggest anyone get these, great little creative thingy.

I got an early present: SWR workingman's 4x10 and Big Ben 1x18 with a G&K head amp.

[Fassa Albrecht]

I'm now the proud owner of a Line 6 BassPod XTLive. I also got several CDs...Deep Purple, The Byrds, Status Quo and Pink Floyd.
