WISHLISTS! ILF Secret Santa v2 (2011)

[Haki]

Some of the best gifts I've ever gotten were things I'd never considered. There should be enough in my posts to give you a clue about what I like and have. That said, if my Satan (or anybody in general) feels like they're at a loss they could always get the Secret Satan overlords to ask their sacrifice to post in this thread.

I was surprised that there was so much focus on pedals...did people get a lot of pedals last year? I would think that's at the upper/rarer end of the gift spectrum.
Some victims are hard to stalk, so this was meant as sorta a mini cheat sheet but not a definitive gift thread.

I think everyone got some sort of pedal. I think it was in the "rules" last year.
Yeah I agree as far as a mini cheat sheet this works. putting down specifics prob is not a good Idea.

Also Stalking IS most of the fun with this. I have combed through most of my victims threads so I can get a good Idea who he/she is (we all know its a he). maybe a better Idea would be to drop hints in your posts to let you SS know the kind of shit your into. This thread has made the pedal part of my gift EASY!

I don't get the problem with how many hit the $100 mark. I understand if a person spends $100, yet their SS spends $50, you might feel jipped or something, but that's something you need to consider. Isn't it about making the person you're gifting happy? Just don't spend a lot if you're going to bitch cause you prob shouldn't have spent it anyway.

I am not sure, but I think most of the complaining came from people that spent less and then they felt embarrassed. Which is a notion I can understand and that's why I will try to find something equally badass for considerably less money than last year.

[Gunner Recall]

You either give a cool gift or you don't...shouldn't be about the money.

100 is steep...I'm doing SS on a few boards and among personal friends, not to mention regular christmas gifts for friends/family.
Not that my person is getting the short end of the deal...I've got some epic stuff planned. But I doubt it will top $100.

Put some thought in, give what you can, make it special/tailored for your victim and everybody wins.

This.
and homemade gifts can be worth millions. I got a good example of that a couple years ago on my b-day.

[jrmy]

This is all true. That said, I come from a family where people shit bricks if you don't give them a list of exact specifics of what you want.

Of course, they usually disregard about 50% of the list and come up with crazy unexpected stuff on their own.

Personally, I'm just stoked that ILF is so full of cool peeps that this kind of thing (a Secret Santa type thingy) is even a possibility in the first place. Whoever my Seekrit Satan is can get me whatever and I'll probably do a happy dance of joy.

When I found out who my target / victim was, I scoured both the wishlist and their posts. I think I've come up with a pretty decent little package... hopefully they will too!

yah. i could give a fuck if i get something worth $12. i know cat's on here are all about being pimps.

i'm super a-wiggle with anticipation. think i got my dooder/doodette's stuff figured out. waiting on an email responsor.

FUN!

[ashdown]

i'll pretty much be happy with whatever i get

buuuuut

i like octaves and choppy tremolos. shirt size medium. i like hunter s thompson and margaret atwood.

i want to hear your music.

buuuuut

i really can't say enough that i will be happy with whatever someone cares enough to gift me

[Tigerbass]

Arrrgh this is so tough. I will say that this year I would LOVE some sort of pedal, or at least something I could use musically.
I wear size med/large. If it's big then medium. small or shrinkable then a large.
I love modulation. I play bass so I suppose that is something to keep in mind.
I do have alot of effects including fuzz. OD and tremolos are 2 things I dont really have locked up, but I would love anything I can use honestly. Please don't feel I'm saying that's what I want!
Killer unique fuzz ALWAYS rulez! I love shit unique, modded, you know...secret shit nobody around me has!
I am a Cubs fan.
You can always ask Eric and/or MagicLawnChair if you have any questions.
Baaahhhh...I still feel douchey!

[tuffteef]

im just gonna do what it was last year
it went great
it was a pedal for bass or guitar or something related
some bought something or went diy or gave something they didnt use
and the rest was up to them

[julius_deane]

I love Muffy and Scramblery fuzz.
I love dark delays and long reverbs.
I love analog modulation.
I love pitch shifting.
I love synths.
I love things that are gray, light blue, and red.
I love vinyl and cassettes.
I love TV.
I love stickers.
I love junk food and sour (nongummy) candy.
I talk about lots of nerdy things on my Twitter @JLGeek
I love Couch, Fender, Fuzzhugger, EQD, Dr. S
I hope this helps.

[Holy Schnikes]

Hmmmmm....I'm struggling here but I'll say that anything you think is cool will make me more than happy, anything, guitar related or not.

Tops on my list would be a Shure SM57 to go with the e609 I use.

Nasty fuzz, something other than a muff/variant as I have a shit ton of these currently.
BYOC kit-the Leeds looks cool!

Can't come up with much else beyond utility type stuff.
Strings DR Tite Fit 10-50
Picks - Dunlop 88s
Deoxit D5 pot/switch cleaner-Stew Mac
Couch strap or wallet - something from the deadstock series would be badass
Soldering Station

Other:
Books- Fiction, Bios, Basic electronics (in regards to pedal/amp building)
Music-if you have a band, send me that shit!
Shirt-Medium, not black if possible

Candy-anything gummi (worms, bears, fruit, fruit snack, fruit rollups, you get the point)

[Bassus Sanguinis]

im just gonna do what it was last year
it went great
it was a pedal for bass or guitar or something related
some bought something or went diy or gave something they didnt use
or used and simply took off the pedalboard because that's guaranteed to be a cool pedal in the price range
and the rest was up to them

fix'd

But yeah, it worked great last year!

[behndy]

....... i want a pony. a magical, slutty pony.

NSFW: show
