Crusoe Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 I got a chord-a-day calendar,. What did everyone else get?
Dad3353 Posted December 28, 2023 Posted December 28, 2023 A present for myself : a piezo_pre-amp kit to install into my acoustic (holes to be cut into the sides, and the capteur to be fitted under the bridge...). I'll then be able to record without recourse to a mic. 3
knirirr Posted December 31, 2023 Posted December 31, 2023 A couple of books of jazz soloing technique turned up amongst my presents. 1

ezbass Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 I received very few (hardly any in fact) Christmas presents and certainly no musical related ones. TBH, I’d rather folks didn’t try to buy these kinds of things as anything I need/want would be a very personal acquisition. 1
tele-strat owner Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 Strap/Picks chord buddy, OK useable Strap and Picks, That Chord Buddy as seen on shark tank, as seen on TV, as seen on you tube, do yourselves a favor don`t just do not. 1) If ya finally get it to fit properly, without silencing other strings or the strings on the same chord being played 2) constant readjustment of chord buddy so that it does not do this. I am talking between chords in the same bar/song or chorus. 3) If it is not being adjusted then your putting it back on. 1
police squad Posted January 23, 2024 Posted January 23, 2024 my christmas pressy hasn't come yet, hopefully soon though and I'll post a picture when it does (it's Brian May related, not that I'm a fan boi or anything, I just love his guitars) 1
Musical Mystery Tour Posted January 24, 2024 Posted January 24, 2024 Sort of guitar related, since I got it for my youtube vids, my lovely partner Fifi got me a Tascam DR-05X audio recorder

tele-strat owner Posted February 9, 2024 Posted February 9, 2024 Nice I am not much on the reds, but I like the dual tones here

murphybridget Posted March 8, 2024 Posted March 8, 2024 It's portable, easy to use, and provides excellent sound recording capabilities.

Useful for plugging into my Tascam interface, and would also be good for sending to FOH if I played 'live'. I don't know why more don't do things this way. 1
knirirr Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 This year: A book on jazz guitar comping concepts. 2
Rosie C Posted December 25, 2024 Posted December 25, 2024 This year a Joyo "Oxford Sound" pedal. So far I'm very pleased with it - lets me go straight into our PA without lugging an amp around. 3
Kiwi Posted December 28, 2024 Posted December 28, 2024 I picked up a super cheap Ibanez S670 with a fake body for 1500RMB ten days ago and went about upgrading, fixing and customising it with chrome Gotoh hardware and Dimarzio Satriani signature pickups. I wanted to do a Chromeboy painted finish but it's not possible to do it well on wood bodies. The original Chromeboys had finish cracking and bubbling issues do to wood expanding and contracting with seasonal changes, the follow ups had bodies made of lucite not wood. So I did the next best thing - bought a load of mirror vinyl wrap online and found a friendly auto wrapping firm to do it for me after my own attempt failed miserably. The reflection isn't 100% sharp but only really noticable when you are standing closer than 5 meters. I'm planning on using the guitar for a show coming up on Jan 11. The good thing of vinyl over paint is that I can get it re wrapped if it starts to look a little worn. 2 1
