What's the latest gear you've acquired?

Ah! Maybe he was mistaken, then. Regardless, this one sounds wonderful.

So do I, brother....so do I. I'll see what I can cook up.

I'd just like to take a moment and point out the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, which every RGOer should be familiar with.

The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition[/u]

1. Once you have their money, you never give it back. ("The Nagus")

3. Never spend more for an acquisition than you have to. ("The Maquis, Part II")

6. Never allow family to stand in the way of opportunity. ("The Nagus")

7. Keep your ears open. ("In the Hands of the Prophets")

9. Opportunity plus instinct equals profit. ("The Storyteller")

10. Greed is eternal. (?)

16. A deal is a deal. ("Melora")

17. A contract, is a contract, is a contract... but only between Ferengi. ("Body Parts")

18. A Ferengi without profit is no Ferengi at all. ("Heart of Stone")

21. Never place friendship above profit. ("Rules of Acquisition")

22. A wise man can hear profit in the wind. ("Rules of Acquisition")

76. Every once in a while, declare peace; it confuses the hell out of your enemy. ("The Homecoming")

102. Nature decays, but latinum lasts forever. ("The Jem'Hadar")

103. Sleep can interfere with [unfinished; profit, perhaps?]. ("Rules of Acquisition")

109. Dignity and an empty sack is worth the sack. ("Rivals")

111. Treat people in your debt like family... exploit them. ("Past Tense p1")

112. Never have sex with the boss's sister. ("Playing God")

139. Wives serve, brothers inherit. ("Necessary Evil")

Big Trekkie here. May the force be with you.

Don't worry guys.
Those rules don't apply to us.
Only the...

Next Generation.

Mel Brooks fan so, may the Schwartz be with you”😁

Avid Pro Tools Carbon. Well, bye bye SSL Big Six, it was brief and somewhat interesting.

G&L ASAT Classic Custom. Pretty unique guitar…hollowbody with an added bigsby and Rio Grande pickups.

Martin CEO-7

More stuff for live 2 Martin Mach M20.06 Loudspeaker Management systems. Literally BSS Omnidrive Compacts with a different control panel and presets for the Martin MACH boxes. Gee Nobody at Harmon took 15 seconds to think Speakers from a lighting Company that is easily confused with a guitar company and a British Speaker manufacturer would be confusing and a hard sell? Their stupidity is my bargain on the used market.
Another very cheap Stewart World 2.1 and trying to grab another. Yes there are more powerful, and lighter amps but find me a more efficient amp, no less one that is going for so little used. Also got the schematics from Stewart and a NOS copy of Norton System Works 2000 to find out what’s conflicting with the RS232 port on one of the windows 98 laptops used with BSS Soundweb designer and 9088ii’s as well as Soundbench for Omnidrive’s and Varicurves for preset backup.

Looking at more ATA racks and a book on speaker reconing.
