Jack Daniels, Toblerone, Socks...

It's almost like he has been watching me...

 

Son got a Behringer Reverb Pedal. He has gone a bit Telecaster and Jeff Buckley of late. I'm sure the Muse Bass will return.

Some money, a voucher for my local commercial fishery, and a book about words by Susie Dent.

 

But the stand out has to be: Bryn Terfel: Carols & Christmas Songs on CD…

 

Susie Dent was on Russell Howard podcast earlier this year. She was Suzie Dent and didn't come across as particularly engaging. But I enjoyed it, it was calm.

I got singing lessons from t'other half.

 

Could be a subtle (or not so subtle) hint. Never has a singing lesson in my life.

 

I used to sing solos when I was younger in primary school and then I grew up or something like that<cough> and can now strip creosote off fences at 10m. Fish wives and RSMs aren't in it.

My birthday and Christmas fall within three days of each other and I was gifted this Retrovibe by the fam as a joint present for both events after me seeing it in Bolton and commenting on it to Mrs ead (not by any means as a hint; as a few of you know I'm selling my basses these days due to arthritis).

 

Having been in touch with David it seems it was one of 8 made in this colour around 10 years ago.  Absolutely immaculate although the pickups are apparently not the original fit items, so I will probs restore the right ones if I can find some.  Interestingly it's a 33.25" scale and has the push pull on the bridge tome control.

It's not for sale, but if you still need one I'm happy to lend it to you in the medium/long term.

Ah well. One arrives courtesy of Mrs T and My folks next week, early 2000’s Korean made one.

It'll be similar to mine, then.  Mine's late 1990's and it's a beast.

A new folding music stand. For practising, definitely not performing 😂

A nice plaid shirt, which will appear on stage with me some time soon.

A bottle of Talisker malt whisky for inspiration.

Excellent Len, but please take that 'e' out of 'whisky' - it's from Skye, not Newtonards.

Please add a ‘w’ to Newtownards - I’m from Northern Ireland, not Scotland…;-)

Possible bass Christmas present.

 

Had a surprise "Merry Christmas" message from a guitar player friend, first one in forever 😀 

 

 Mentioned a close friend, who we lost back in 99, and that he'd got his hands on our mate's bass 😎 

Said he thinks it's only right that Hammy's bass should go to me 🙂

 

Arrangements for hand over to be made in the New Year.
