So what gear did your wifehusbandgirlfriendboyfriend get you for your last birthday?

My wife bought me a Godin 5 string bass last year...and Pro Tools M powered last week. My wife likes me.

Well besides the one gift she keeps on giving she got me a steel bodied Dean resonator guitar. The cool factor on this thing is over the top.

my wife got me the love pedal "magic boy" which is a econo vibe pedal which is fabulous with single coil guitars.

In 1991 my wife wanted to get me something nice (drum releated) for our first Christmas married. She called a buddy and fellow drummer and asked him to go to the music store to help her. She decided on getting me a new ride cymbal. They went into the cymbal room and saw that there are a couple dozen different ride cymbals displayed. When she asked my buddy to help her pick one out her told her "buying cymbals is like buying underware. It's very personal" Well, she picked one out herself and that cymbal is still my go to ride, but she never bought me another piece of musical gear again. She always tells me "it too personal"

*translation* too much of a pain in the ass.

Funny, not even 30 minutes ago, I was trying to con my girlfriend into buying me an RNC for my b-day next week.




She actually bought me an M179 for Christmas, so I figure she might as well start a tradition of buying me expensive stuff.

Note to any young people reading this: find someone to marry before you finish college---by the time you finish high school if you're lucky enough to find someone mature/responsible enough to marry you at that age. You may not get another shot.

Have to disagree with this advice. You should wait until you're 30 to marry and then start drinking shortly thereafter

In 1991 my wife wanted to get me something nice

Ah 1991, what a year...The last time my wife ever bought gear for me that I didn't specifically ask for...She bought me an Ensoniq SD-1, a Tascam 32-PBH, an Alesis Quadraverb, an Alesis MEQ-230, a pair of Peavey HK-8 nearfields, 32 3' patch cables, and a night on the town...She had a really shitty job that paid really well...

...I only wish she'd have asked me what I wanted, like she does nowadays. She makes much less money now, however, and the gear seems to have stayed expensive...
