Topic: Ok, so what new toys did you get?

Merry Christmas all.

For me no music gear, but the computer is spankin' new and replaces my dinosaur.  Emachines 4 Gb ram, 750 Gb hard drive, love it.  Right away I'm enjoying the net and music much finer than before.  But I know ya'll got some nice toys.  Extra credit for photos.  Come on, put 'em up.

Re: Ok, so what new toys did you get?

I have everything musical I will ever need except a looper pedal and I doubt I REALLY need one.
I got my grandson Casey bongo drums. he had to let him open that present early to play them on a gig we had on the 23rd at his former Montessori School.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?

A Squeezebox Duet that streams music from computer to my stereo in the front room.  I love it.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Gig bag (no longer have to wrap my guitar in a blanket to take it with me YAY), tuner with chord finder (built in electronic chord chart of sorts), music stand (so I can see what I'm playing without leaning over LOL), peg winder, and some pots and pans so I can cook more food!  ha ha!  Nothing too special... but my b.day is coming up and I'm getting the new Motorola Droid on the 4th when our contract is up! 

I got my boys each new electric guitars... because I was so good to them, at least there's more good guitars in the house and of course I'm allowed to play them too!  smile

sorry to hear that!  I didn't really get any toys either... sad day... feel like a little brat pouting in the corner cuz I didn't get anything to keep my attention for more than a minute or two... although the things I did get will come in handy.  It's ok if you go pout for a bit about it dino... and then take a trip to the store and get yourself something good!  LOL!

Re: Ok, so what new toys did you get?

$45 of iTunes cards got me some fresh new tunes to jam to in the car...also got a phone and a Wii...I buy everything I need for guitar on my own, so there was no need for Santa to bring any guitar accessories.

Re: Ok, so what new toys did you get?

Bose Around-Ear headphones...amazing sound.  My sweetie wanted me to be able to hear my ipod when I'm on the lawn tractor.  What a gal.  No guitar stuff, but that's really up to me.  MKM, I hear you on the music stand.  I got one just before Christmas and the crick in my shoulder is finally loosening up.

Nothing exceeds like excess.

Re: Ok, so what new toys did you get?

Nothing to do with Christmas, but have recently acquired a Boss Rc-2 looper & a Roland Cube amp. Wife has yet to notice!!!

Re: Ok, so what new toys did you get?

Got a little Roland Pocket Pod. Great Item for practice...I can plug in a set of headphones, an MP-3 player with backing tracks and play away without bothering anyone. Can also use it to shape sound going into my amp...so far, no complaints!

Re: Ok, so what new toys did you get?

I got 20€, that's it.
Since I have everything..., there are some nice things I would love to have: a 62' TV screen (155cm) but the price $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$and I have a 127cm.
New PC maybe? I don't work since 5 years now, you can call me retired (and retarded), I was very lucky in my finances, so I don't worry.
BUT WHAT WOULD YOU PREFER? $$$ & €€€ and pain the whole day, not able to walk upon a hill, no gardening, "quick-cooking" like a steak .... YOU CAN HAVE MY LIFE, I PUT IT ON EBAY
BUT I AM HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING

Thanks. I have recently added to the stable a Squirer Strat body/neck, with custom paint job... all done by myself, with that prewired HSS pickguard. Still waiting on some parts (jack, jack plate, misc. screws, tremolo bar).

An Ibanez Tubescreamer TS-9, Line 6 Spider III 75, Line 6 POD 2.0, like 10k picks, a Crybaby, a Boss BD-2 Bluesdriver and a Boss PSM-5 that I use as main switch.

In the works:

Will trade the Squirer Strat for a Telecaster or an Epi Les Paul.
Another Tubescreamer
A Marshall Bluesbreaker, when the wife authorize me some funds :-(
