What's the latest gear you've acquired?

No intro price unfortunately..
Re the Locomotive stuff I only have the comp. Really like it! Wrote about it on Dec 29, 2016:

Nice on the Coles! I just picked up an aea r88! Same as you with the drums....the ribbons do something so nice. The way you can manipulate the stereo field with the aea is prettt incredible.

A red Slingerland tom...not to exciting...until I find a matching bass drum.

I'm passively looking for an acoustic guitar. I own a bunch of electric but no acoustics (besides the $100 Seagull high strung at the studio) I'd really like to find a 00-18, but they are a bit pricey. Might settle for an Epiphone Cortez or Gibson B-25 if I can find a reasonable one. An old J-45 or J-50 would of course be great too

That is the coolest 500 series 1176 you have there. What the hell is that?

There is a woman around these parts that I have bought a few things from this last year or so; a large ocean drum, a Beyer mc930, and now a nice Lanikai LFM-C ukulele which came with a fine Stagg case (the uke looks like the cute little cousin of my 1980 Ibanez J-540 NT Jumbo guitar witn flame maple back and sides and spruce top, white binding with black double pinstripes). Each time I run across her posts in the local classifieds the items are almost brand spanking new and I get to snag them for under a 1/4 of their new value. Lucky, lucky me.

Thanks! That's a Flea 47.
In the rack, top to bottom excluding the power conditioners, is:
Hendy DaVinci
Demeter VTMP 2c
Hardy M1
UA Apollo firewire quad
JDK Comp-R22

I also have a pair of Neumann KH120 monitors and an M-Audio Hammer88 midi-controller.

The Flea is my main vocal mic but I have some other decent mics hanging around:
Gefell M295 pair
Lauten Audio Atlantis
Blue Kiwi
Blue Woodpecker
AKG C414 B-XL II
AKG C451B
Earthworks SR30

It's a pretty sweet project studio but my room is too small and, even though it's treated with bass traps and clouds, recording is still tricky business.  I'm looking forward to retiring at the end of next June and relocating to an area where I can triple my house size and have a proper sized room for recording.

When I move in 18 months or so, and I set up a proper studio desk, I'll be making that adjustment.

I won't argue, but the space advantages and commonality of TT do have there advantages & you have to admit the only thing those made in China bays do well is act as vent panels!

Bought a very nice Gibson 2009 Les Paul Custom 1968 re-issue custom shop in tri-burst. Simply stunning and perfect.

A Les Paul with a thin neck is about as rare as a Mexican only child.

The Flea 47 is just about everything I could have wanted in a vocal mic for myself.  I'm a baritone and the low end on the mic really suits me and I'm getting plenty of silky goodness up top.  I've had a home studio for about 15 years and I've tried a lot of mics in that time, starting, like most of us do, with the less expensive stuff and walking my way up the ladder.  I think my first mic was an AT3035 but I've also tried various MXL mics, the AKG Solidtube, and a few others.  For a while I was really liking my Blue Kiwi through my Demeter pre.  It's a really nice combination but the Flea has some kind of crazy Harry Potter magic going on inside of it.  I've only used it through my Hendy so far.  I'll be trying out other combinations and see where it leads me.  I've got a bunch of good options.

I agree with Vincent that the 49 suits his tenor voice better.  If he made an album with the 47, it would sound wonderful but he doesn't benefit as much from the big bottom as I do.  The 49 becomes really special on his voice when he gets loud and really starts to project.  The mic makes it sound like he's in an opera hall, not his basement. It gives him enough bottom without overpowering the track and the high frequencies are really nice on his voice.

He was really hoping the Flea 49 wouldn't be the one.  He sent me a blind test to see if it was just Flea hype or if it really was the right mic for him.  On the raw vocal tracks I didn't hear as much distinction as I thought I would but it was still easy to pick out the Flea.  But with orchestration playing, the Flea sat in the mix so much better and had a depth of sound, an almost 3D effect, that the others couldn't match.  The other mics sounded good and folk could do nice work with them.  Their price-point makes them real bargains.  The Flea is just on a different level sonically ...and financially.  We spent a good part of that get together talking about how to come up with the sizable pile of money he'll need.  I suggested he take out a Craigslist ad and sell himself to old men for $50 a pop.  He wants to consider other options.

Poor Vin had to send the mic back.  Now he's moping around the house singing "She's Gone."

Sounds like someone got bitten by a 'Flea'?
