#227 - 06/16/09 01:49 PM Good gift idea?
slimpickings newbie Registered: 05/15/09 Posts: 30	I know little about bass guitar but my brother-in-law plays and I thought this would be a perfect area to buy him a gift for his upcoming birthday. Can anyone advise me on what would be most appreciated by a bass guitarist?

New strings are always wonderful. Or just a gift card to your local music shop. That'd be good times. I know giving a gift card can feel thoughtless, but going with him to the guitar shop would more than make up for that. Plus, it's worth it to give a musician ANY excuse to head to a guitar shop.

luvssound newbie Registered: 05/15/09 Posts: 30	I feel the same way. I prefer to give a gift card, especially f it is in an area I am not familiar with. It can be difficult to pick out a gift for a person when you nothing about ther hobby or interests.

candit newbie Registered: 05/15/09 Posts: 30 Loc: Currently sitting in a chair	Some people are very picky with their hobbies, I think I would much rather receive a gift card for a huge music store than end up feeling bad if someone picked out something I would not purchase for myself. _________________________ I wanted some cookies, so yes, it was me, in the kitchen with my hand in the cookie jar.

For Christmas and birthdays, my sister and I both give him gift cards to his favorite shop. Yeah, he always knows what he's getting but he always looks forward to getting it.

chitzy stranger Registered: 07/06/09 Posts: 20	I agree that you have to be careful not to purchase something that the person is not going to use. A gift card to an online shop is a great idea. I'd much rather have someone give me a gift card than something that I say "thanks" for and then put it in the back of my closet....
