For me it's the Sandberg California JM4, in Satin Redburst. It's a beautiful J style bass with both passive and active electronics. This with a set of Daddario flats and a nice Gallien-Krueger amp is my ideal setup. Someday, someday.

What about you guys? If youcould pick any instrument what would it be?

Id like a Cello...

Hmm I've always wanted an Autoharp, Chapman Stick, Waterphone, and Hang Drum

Steinway Model D. 'Nuff said...

Other than that, a triple french horn, Stradivarius cello, hang drum (so cool!), harp...pretty much every instrument since I can't afford any at the moment. :p

A Gretsch Corvette or a Fender Jazzmaster!

Hard to be more unaffordable than a Steinway ... but as far as what I'd actually want at the moment isn't all the terribly fancy or unaffordable ... a Taylor 316ce. Played one in the shop and loooved the way it had both really resonant low end and sparkly highs.

Dude those are both like 600 bucks. I'm sure if you saved for the them you could get them.

What I'd love is a Gretsch custom shop guitar. I can think of 3 or 4 designs I'd already go for.... mmmmmhhmmm.........

I've always wanted a hang drum.

Practically every instrument I wanna own right now, I cannot afford because of my meagre allowance and hopelessly jobless student status (for now). But if I were to be picky:

If I were picking a grand piano, I'd pick a Steinway.
And if I were picking a drum kit... Tama Imperialstar.

Organs.

Because Fugue

Yup! I just need to get the money..and then justify the cost versus loads of other stuff! A custom guitar sounds tasty too...probably stick some single coils up on dat, 24 frets too!

I want an Ibanez RG2228 Prestige guitar.
But I'm poor so I can only look at in in photos :(

I know this dude with a HUGE cathedral pipe-organ AT HIS HOME (!)
He knocked the floor off a room on the second floor just to fit that baby in.

A grand piano! Or how about just ANY piano instead of my cheap keyboard haha.
I'm not too much of an electronics person, but a Moog would be super fun too.

hmmmmmm....

a voodoo sg

Dude, I could totally get use for that; I am an organist! But I won't ask for one, since I've got the best setting and best place to play an organ.

I actually approached a organ smith and asked what kinds of prices we were talking. Turns out to be 80 000â'¬ to have a custom organ made. I take it that this associate of yours bough his as used? :P

Getzen 3003S Genesis Bb-Trumpet EUR 2299
Frank Hartung Guitars Embrace Model starts from EUR 3200

Really though

I'd like to be blessed along with a tree in africa from a tribe then have a really nice traditional djembe carved from it. Of course I'd need to make peace with an african tribe first and learn all their ceremonial rhythms. Probably cost me a good 10k at least as well as a good portion of time to set that all up. But I think it would be worth it if money wasnt the factor.

I had a 2 hour clinic with a djembe master who did that and it made for a helluva good story at least.

rickenbacker

$2000

Forgot you play trumpet! I recently started myself on a luxurious Thomann Bb Trumpet.

Any books/guides/beginner peices you'd recommend? I'm mostly practicing my C scale and doing some bits by ear!

Cello
Eos Harp

I also want to build my own Tesla coil tower that interacts to music! :-D

MiniMoog Voyager

Laser Harp

Yeah, he got it from a local church.
