You’ve probably seen it, the gift ideas on our website, there are hundreds of them! And that can quickly overwhelm and paralyse you, especially if you are not a musician yourself, but want to please someone who is!
Julia, Kris, Simon, Guillaume and Jason have worked together to bring you a more concise list of their gift ideas, all categories combined, and… all items for less than €100! Let’s go!
Guillaume: The Rock Slide TRS-JLF Joey Landreth Slide
If you want to approach your guitar in a different and original way, why not try the slide? Explore new sounds, new techniques and expand your guitar horizons with this great little accessory.
An inconspicuous, but very useful gift: a high quality clip tuner, capable of returning correct information about the tuning status of your strings (and trust me, not all clip tuners are accurate enough to do it reliably! ). A GREAT gift for any guitarist or bassist.
Do you have a relative or friend who wants to start recording guitar or making videos for social channels with good audio? This mini audio interface allows you to record a clear and clean signal on your computer or smartphone and, with the help of applications such as Amplitube and the like, choose the sound that suits your needs.
Is there anything more fun and nostalgic than returning to the sounds that shaped your childhood? This new Teenage Engineering product is perfect for those who love to create innovative beats that nod to the video arcade games of the ’80s and ’90s.
A good set of headphones is essential for any musician or music lover. Whether you’re mixing your own song or listening to music, the audio fidelity this set of headphones gives you is simply incredible. Take your work to the next level!
Another apparently “uninviting” product but really useful for the average guitarist. With this set you can extend the life of your guitars, improve their setup and learn the fundamentals of lutherie (check out our YouTube Guitar Tech Tips series;)).
You’ve spent a lot of money on your effect pedals only to find that you have background noise in your sound. What to do? Most of the time these problems are caused by a “dirty” current. Solve your problems with this professional power supply with filter and isolated and galvanisedoutputs.
A looper is essential for taking your creativity to new levels. Whether you are a guitarist, bassist or you play the synthesizer, such a pedal can be very useful.
Another tool?! Yes, but this is for drummers! Many beginner drummers often struggle to find all the tools (with the right measurements) to adjust their drums. This tool has everything you need and there is no risk of losing it. Brilliant!
A hyper practicalaccessory to give new sounds to your kit. To get everything from ’70s sounds to percussion-like sounds, simply place it on top of the snaredrum to start discovering its potential.
Are you tired of seeing the bass drum “walk away” after each song because it slips while playing (despite the carpet!)? Try the Kick Block: Even with a 240 bpm blast beat drummer, the kick drum won’t move more than a millimetre.
A newset of strings makes an incredible difference when it comes to feel, playability, brilliance and tone. Unless you are looking for a typical muted sound, the Rotosound RS66 is a perfect set to bring your instruments back to life.
Do you ever have a melody in your head and wanted to play it but didn’t know what notes you are ‘thinking’? A portableharmonica, perhaps on a keychain, like this one proposed by C.A. Seydel, is perfect! Plus, it allows you to accompany the street musician you run into when exiting the subway without having to take the instrument out of its case 😉
Yes, another tool, but these are the famous “ugly but useful” gifts: a multi-tool designed for bass players that will allow you to adjust the action, neck and intonation (there is nothing better than a perfectly adjusted and tuned instrument).
A collection of gift ideas from our YouTubers, as well as useful accessories for any type of musician. Do you like their selection? Let us know with a comment!
