Stocking Fillers (Not legs :0)
« on: December 15, 2008, 09:52:44 AM »
So then what small things have people asked for over xmas. Most guitar related purchases are too expensive to have as presents (unless you're really rich)

I've asked for a G7th Capo but what sub 30quid things are other people asking for?

Hercules wall hanger because I cant really risk knocking my Pearl off its stand again :lol:

I'm getting some Couch guitar straps for each of my guitars as well, £25 each so I guess it sort of fits the sub-30 quid thing :P

I've always found the cheapest shitetest batteries you can find are the best bet for battery-powered guitar gizmos. Decent batteries tend to drop a little in output as they die rather than just stop altogether, sometimes I ouldn't notice in soundcheck straight away ten you're into the gig wondering what just isn't right.

Obviously, just replacing everything every gig would have solved this straight off  :lol:

I think that the wife is getting me an MI Audio Crunch Box...

OK, not exactly a cheap stocking filler, but if it turns up I'll be happy!!!

Try those Lithium batteries... all I can say is I'll never go back, I used to get 2 maybe 3 gigs out of Duracell... 1 gig for standard betteries.. 7-10 gigs with Lithium. To be honest, the G2 unit tends to eat batteries, so I'll stick with them for that piece of kit.

Awesome pedal.... I love mine, it's like a hot rodded Marshall in a box through a clean valve amp!

I wouldn't mind that amPlug. Or another guitar, maybe more BKPs.
I don't really know. It doesn't usually work out if I want something or not anyways.

I have "You already have one!" parents which doesn't go well with playing guitar.
"Would you like some lemon oil?"
"Oh, no thanks, I don't eat fruit."

I have an AC30 amplug, its pretty fun, although i havent used it in ages.

And agreed on the parents thing.
