Mrs. Tig's gift to me was the early Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass Short Scale and Acoustic B20 1x12 bass amp. I gave her an iPad.

We enjoyed giving the kids some much needed stuff, and the grand kids educational and fun toys. I gave my son in law the pawn shop find Squier Tele Custom (http://www.thefret.net/showthread.php/13971-NGD-50-pawn-shop-Squier-Tele-Custom?highlight=pawn+shop+Telecaster) and the old modded Peavey Vypyr 15 that I was saving for such an occasion. He's really into classic and modern metal and was completely surprised and pleased.

Gave my youngest son his first Acoustic guitar for Christmas. And though I'm not a big fan of highly lacquered acoustics, for a "first" guitar its pretty sweet. Good looks, thinner body, and a pretty good sound when plugged in. I know he loves it. Everything he had gotten thus far was hand me down cheap electrics.

Gave Mrs. Spud a 15 degree down sleeping bag and she gave me a chair kit for my Exped Synmat. Looks like we're planning to go back into the wilderness again.

Mrs. Basser bought me an Ibanez A/E bass, apparently to go with my Ibanez A/E guitar.

No pics just yet, but oh boy is it fun to play! Pretty darn quiet unplugged as I expected.

Run throught the rig though and it really thumps. I can hardly put it down.:thumbsup

I gave my oldest son one of those for Christmas last year. "SWEET!!!" He hardly ever plays his Fender Precision any more. Nice score NWBasser!!

I gave my girlfriend an engagement ring and she said "yes". I guess that's a fair trade, right?

Congratulations, guitarhack! :thumbsup May you have many years of happiness together.

An older couple once said that a great and long lasting marriage wasn't a 50-50 relationship, but instead, a 100-100 one.

Tig - true words of wisdom!

Guitarhack - congrats! Nice way to start the new year! Mrs. C and I just celebrated (yesterday) our 25th.

My son got a 3-hour tour of the Walking Dead set. This is him with his cousin Erin, with their guides:
