Musical gift ideas for Christmas!

Company Instruments

Right now we're getting prepared for the holidays a-coming, so here at Mighty Ape, we're up on our feet a-running. Christmas soon to come and we're a little short on time, but this blog I decided to bring out for you little seasonal rhyme. I'm not usually a poet, but we've been known to wrap a present. We've been compiling gift ideas the whole family can get with.

We've got some choice guitar picks for all players and collectors alike. Kill two birds with the NZ Warriors picks, to please your guitarist/sports fan in one buy!

By the same token, if your loved one loves some cartoons, you could check the Simpsons picks and straps to catch a “Cowabunga Dude!”

If the family musician isn't a strummer or a picker, maybe check out our Studio Gear to get your shopping done a little quicker. But if recording's not their thing and they just wanna be a singer, you could look at Microphones with PA and have a concert with Christmas dinner.

Did somebody say microphones?

It's a great time to be a musician – our Musical Instruments Jungle is full of great products at awesome prices at the moment! Especially in our Microphones section. We've got some very exciting items among Shure, ART Pro Audio and Wharfedale!

Check out this Wharfedale Mic Set! Three mics for under a hundred bucks! Who does that? These mics would be ideal for a live vocal trio and come with a robust, padded carry case for carting between gigs.

In our Shure department, we're selling the Beta 58A like hotcakes! This mic is the upgraded version of the SM58, an industry standard, known for its durability and great sonic quality. Whether you're an MC or a recording artist, this mic is a must have in your microphone arsenal.

We've also got a bunch of USB Mics like the Art M-One, the Shure PG42USB for Vocals and the PG27USB for Instruments! These are designed with the recording musician at heart and bypass the need for an audio interface. Plug n Play baby!

Cover all your PA needs with Wharfedale

Sick of borrowing PA from friends, or paying for pricey rentals every time a gig comes up?

Well fret no more! Whether you're the wedding singer, doing pub gigs, or just hosting the family Xmas party, Wharfedale have got all you'll need to be heard!

With great packs like the PMX700 you could hold a small concert in your backyard. The two 12'' speakers, run through the 150 watt amp, are enough to get complaints from your neighbours for sure, but compact enough to chuck in the boot of your car to take away for the weekend – it even includes a mic!

If you're a DJ, or looking for some serious extra low end, why not check out the Wharfedale TITAN A12 Active Sub? It's active, which means it's self-powered, it's relatively light weight and most importantly is Loud! Boasting 250W of grunt, this is one way to get a party bouncing and is a perfect compliment to the PMX700.

Power your sound with ART

ART have been around since the mid '80s and have been pumping out quality products ever since!

Mighty Ape has a killer range available to suit your live or recording needs! There are a couple of choice gadgets however that stand out to me as a gear nerd.

One of which is the ART SLA-2 that would power many modern day rigs, running Axe FX or Kemper in stereo. A comfortable power of up to 280W per side would be enough to run a couple of cabs as a stereo set up!
