JDL Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 The season of gifts and giving is almost at hand. Please, share what things such as gear that you would like to receive this Christmas? Not that I will give you anything, I just wanna know what your dream gear would be if you could have anything. (I will post later what I would want.) So let the dreams and fantasy gear listings fly. . . (JDL-peace) JDL on Purevolume Bird\'s Eye View on Purevolume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc taz Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I'd keep it simple for now. I already have two basses and a good Peavey TKO 115, but a third, and perhaps a fourth, and a fifth are in order. Da List, Man: - 6-string Ibanez Soundgear SR406 bass - another one but lined fretless, and specially treated ebony board so I can use roundwounds - 5-string acoustic-electric Martin bass guitar (I think Carvin makes one too) - 3/4 size 5-string custom upright, or NS-5 electric upright - 1 4x10 Hartke Transporter cab - Hartke 3500 amp - Boss GT6B processor - Roland V-bass sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernest828 Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I suppose my list differs from a bass player being a producer. I`m looking realistically at getting at least one of these pieces... Distressor (Heard only great things about this and would love to have one) Great Rivers MP NV2 (Neve pres...who wouldn`t want one) Avalon 737 (Already have 2 of `em but they`re so damn flexible, could always use another) Avalon 747 (Nice stereo compressor for the cash. Last on my list but still there.) Ernest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Sweet Willie_ Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I'll play. I like to dream. --DiMarzio Ultra Jazz pick-ups in my 4-string Carvin LB-70. --Kern IP-777 preamp --Peavey DPC-1400X power amp --two 4-ohm Acme Low B2s (or two 8-ohm AccuGroove Tri-112s) --EBS BassIQ envelope filter and OctaBass octave pedal --Enough cords and cables to hook it all together! If Santa leaves me all of that, he can take my SWR Super Redhead with my blessings back to the North Pole with him! Maybe even if he just drops off some of that! (Although the Acmes coming down the chimney would be a whole lot easier than the Sup' Red going up!) spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars. Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk.

g. Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I play mainly on one bass, the other being for backup. But, it's a great bass. And I have a great rig, and some mix-n-match pieces to leave at a practice space, and... I'll tell you, my Xmas wish is for people who can't afford much and are really laboring under the limitations of using crap in a loud band, I hope Santa will slip them a better rig. I just want maybe a few CDs and maybe while we are at it, get everybody who needs it some Good Taste In Music. Things would be so much better for us all ; } .

MattC Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I want the bank to approve my loan so that I can get my upright out of layaway. I'll soon want the bow, a good pickup (leaning toward the realist) and a rackmounted SansAmp as a preamp. I'll NEED a new rack, an Anvil 12-space. I'll also ask for a BBE 442 and one of those flourescent rack mounted lights, the cameleon. And because no one will buy it all for me, I'll need a way to pay off my charge cards from these expendatures. ...think funky thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Simply stated, a new amplifier, preferably a GK. I'll have to do some research first before I tell Santa exactly which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g. Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 ...and, Santa: if you could get some more people to Cupmcmali's gigs, I'm sure the fresh faces would be appreciated! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickerman Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Well, I'm lucky as I'm still a young-un. I've got parents, aunts and uncles and VERY generous grandparents. So, here's my list, I'll prolly get 1/2 of the stuff... Carvin 2x10 cab Ampeg Billy Sheehan Preamp $$$ to add to my savings toward new bass Fender Vintage Noiseless Tele Neck pickup DiMarzio Fast Track Tele Bridge pickup New jacket (cold carrying things to gigs and practice so it counts as gear) BUT! Better than Christmas... GRADUATION! In May, I have my graduation party and my grandfather told me "I'm sorry but we only have $1000 set aside for you grad. We set aside $1000 for each of our four grandchildren so you can choose something and let us know" ... ... ... My jaw was on the floor... "Sorry" ??? "ONLY" ??? Wow. So, I'll prolly get an acoustic bass or something... Also, you always get "oodles" of money and my college is taken care of. (scholarships and parents saving for 18 years) Good time to be me. I'm SO blessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g. Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Ah Wickerman, you simply need to look at Kinman Tellie pickups! His noiseless pickups smoke anybody else's! Actually the only ones I've heard that have all the best qualities of vintage p'ups. If he ever gets 5- and 6-string J pickups out the door I'll buy them without hesitation though what I have now is fantastic. He's THAT good. .

cornbread_medhotmail.com Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Well, I'll be lucky to get a lump of coal, but I'll tell Santa what I really want, just in case A Lakland 4-94 Deluxe in a Cherry Sunburst A 50's era P-bass, all original An NS Electirc Upright Peavey DPC-1400X 1 each Acme B2 and B2W Zon Sonus 4-string 70's era Ampeg SVT and cabinet and the most important thing....Jennifer Love Hewitt--she sings, so she counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike H. Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I want a Yamaha BB604 and an acoustic bass since I don't NEED them but wouldn't mind someone buying one for me. http://www.identity5.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_dont_fret Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I'm a dreamer too, so I'll play. 1.) A Hohner 6string bass (those things are sweet) 2.) A good solid bass wah with a cool funk function built in 3.) A good amp, probably a GK or Peavey of some sort 4.) A good bass synth of some sort 5.) And anything else that I've left out that I could use on a regular basis Well, I'm not that great of a dreamer, as I haven't really had one in a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davebrownbass Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 A little more patience and grace, and the strenghth to enter our contest season with good cheer. A nice digital camera would be gravy...maybe a Sony F707 or Canon G2 or Nikon Coolpix 4500. In the bass world, I'm still wanting to play a Reverend Rumblefish...if I like it, it would be great to take to church on Sunday.

Tom Capasso Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Wickerman, It's nice to hear people that appreciate gifts. Bastid, You can use all those string sets when you go into full Seismic production. There are things I'd like, but it never happens at the holidays. I either get clothes (which is great) or "combined" gifts (me and the wife). Although last year the kids got me "The Beatles Gear Book", which was very cool. We need to update the song... 5 sets of string 4 10 inch cab 3 cables 2 boutique basses and an unused 1951 P Tom www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

And you pray for this every five minutes, right? Cause I don't believe it will happen no matter how much I pray for it. Never. Of course I wish it would stop forever, but then again, that's even more of a fat chance. I'm starting to really like the Daoist philosophy, though. It sounds really nice. Anyway, I hope it happens too, but it'd be sheer luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Jew Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 For the band: A decent mastering job on our newest CD 1000 pro copies of the aforementioned CD to sell A new run of band t-shirts to sell A working smoke machine For our singer: A new wireless mic Self control For our drummer: A stick and heads endorsement. It looks like a wood shop behind his kit. Taste in women. For our bassist: A Geddy Lee signature Jazz bass. A pair of shoes that don't look stupid onstage. For me: A nice rack tuner. A dead cat and a string to swing it with. \m/ Erik "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." --Sun Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
