Christmas Help

[bassman31783]

So my wife's family keeps asking what I want for Christmas. Like most of us what I really want is far too expensive to ask for. New bass, a second cab, recording gear, etc. Ha. Truth is, there really isn't anything I need or that I'm dying to have (outside of what was mentioned above). So I need your help with ideas. Lets try and keep all gifts related to music, unless your an uber outdoorsman like myself and have a suggestion that relates to fishing/hunting/camping. So let's set the price at $75 or under and see what suggestions are made. Thanks for your help.

All new underwear including all new socks. 100%. Get rid of everything old. All New.

You'll love it.

Haha. Very true

GC gift card? Or a gift card to another instrument vendor? Leather jacket, even a faux leather jacket- I got a nice faux leather jacket under your price range when it was on sale. All bass players should have at least one leather jacket.

I hate bad cords. Just got one of these. It will test six different type of cables. Less than $30.00

+1 on the leather jacket.

I have 2, a short light one that is good on chilly summer nights and a 3/4 length heavier one that I wear to gigs in winter. (This is the UK where the only thing predictable about the weather is it's unpredictability, so YMMV.)

Just seen the cord tester post - another excellent idea.

String sets, cables, etc. Inexpensive, but critical things us bass players always need to be replacing.

Thanks Stewie, now I want one. Why I oughta ...

If you are an outdoors type, $75 will get a pretty nice knife.
To me, a knife is the basic must have tool.

 

[slobake]

Probably find some nice luthier tools at StewMac.

Ok I like the cord tester and knife. Keep 'em coming

Concert ticket(s)? Usually under $75 unless the venue is ridiculous or the band is "too hot" to have real fans.

 

[Immigrant]

Whirled peas

 

[Auzzie-Phoenix]

Couple pairs of Fox River boot socks (really really comfy), and a new fishing reel.

 

[CrashClint]

I am hoping 1964 Ears has a Christmas special as I want a set of the V6S.

 

[pcake]

zoom b1on?
2 or 3 sets of strings? (you would obviously tell them exactly which strings) or a set of TI jazz strings?
jamplay 3 month gift card?

 

[delta7fred]

zoom b1on

+1

 

[Mike A]

Set of Thomastik Infeld strings!

 

[hbarcat]

The big coffee table type books are always good gifts. Easy to shop for. Price $20 - $70

I might be tempted to ask for a set of Fretwraps. I'd been meaning to buy/them them for awhile, but hadn't gotten around to it yet.
