Last year was my big buying year, but I started 2008 off with acquiring that great E60. Then I bought and sold a pair of CM-30 monitors. That was it until this week when I reacquired a G70 and then bought an FC-7 foot pedal to along with it. Now I'm kinda sorry I sold the CM-30's, they'd be great lightweight amps to have with the G.

But my best purchase of this year hasn't arrived yet - maybe tomorrow. It's a sealed Euro version of a Rascals CD with about 5 songs I've never heard.

PA1X Pro Elite ($4900 Au Dollars earlier this year - it was a great price at the time).

Bose L1 (Model II)

The (2) Korgs were amazing buys. Also, I love my Mackie 450s - really brings the sound to a new level live. I also like my Mackie MR8s in the studio - great sound. I'm currently learning the D888 to get demos to everyone

I purchased from AJ and Frank this year - major buys. They are both class act guys in every way

And I don't want to leave out George, who has been great to me in the past.

It pays to work PT in a Music Store.

How do you like those Mackies compared to the more expensive 824's? My boss counts on me to do the ordering for Home recording. Our market is "low end quality" MXL/CAD/ AT mikes,Alesis/Edirol/Zoom/ Behringer Monitors are amazing for the price (about the only Behringer product I would use seriosly) Thei non powered mixers are not bad though for abudget Studio. We carry the Alesis 5" and the Behringer 8's

The "budget" Mackies look interesting.

We have great deals on PRS 20th Anniversary single and double cutaways and Solid Wood Taylors. If anyone knows someone who wants either drop me a PM.

Bought my brand new E-80 for under £1450 GBP (that's was around $2650 USD at the time).
