WalMan Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Zoom B9 (OK that was me in a fit of madness ) Son & daughter in law (though mainly her as he's out of country at the mo) got me two tickets to LBGS13 for Saturday - may have one to spare as not sure MrsW is interested in accompanying me (added to which she would put a dampner on "I really shouldn't but what the heck" purchases on the day . Came as good news as I have been meaning to, but forgetting/not getting round to buying tickets for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 My dear Mum and Dad got me a Hofner Violin bass - gobsmacked to say the least. Always wanted one in tribute to Macca but could never really justify it to myself, not being able to imagine hen I'd put it to use. Well, it's a wonderful little bass, and it goes 'plonk'! Good old Dad (the mastermind of the operation) got a hardcase, 'proper' Hofner flats and authentic Hofner knobs to replave the bog standard black ones that come as stock. I'm genuinelly chuffed. The Mrs got me the Goblin box set (prog bass overload) and the Led Zep Celebration Day Blu-Ray (very little bass sadly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I got a Kindle Fire HD. How is that bass related, I hear you ask... I just watched (listened to) a Miroslav Vitous solo bass gig in work (there is no-one else here) while typing a report. I also downloaded a music reading app to practice my sight reading on (I am trying to learn to read bass, treble, Bb and Eb clefs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom in Dorset Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 A set of michine heads, a bridge , a truss rod and a set of jazz pickups that will fit perfectly on the fretless bass I'm building, how my wife and kids got it so abolutely spot on I'll never know. It's as if I ordered them myself and they just wrapped them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grassie Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I got a year's subscription to BGM starting with the Glenn Hughes / Andy Fraser issue (including free bass strings), plus John Taylor's autobiography.

Leen2112 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I got the usual but really helpful bass strings, they always say 'sorry' when giving them to me but It's really helpfull. The best though was a pile of Pickboy reefer 1.00 (sorry, pick user here) These are the only kind I use but all my usual stockists are out of them. Well chuffed.
