Holy Jeez that sure looks like Pete Spriggs. I'm sure even Stanley Clarke would be shaking in his boots (bootsie?) if he saw one of those.
Mine would have to be a tie between the sousaphone and the theremin, or a good old Arp 2500 with wide-range ocsillators going through Leslie speakers.

/slide whistles are kinda neat too. - Fri, 12 May 2006 7:23am Edited: Fri, 12 May 2006 7:25am

I want a 1972 limited edition q-resonant molotov theremin with a nano-synth bladder noise filter.

I can't wait for L&M to get these in stock. - Fri, 12 May 2006 11:29am

I've always been sort of a balls-to-the-wall cockrocker at heart and so the one guitar that really brings a gleam to my eye is the wangcaster. Rig that up with one of GWAR's splooge systems and you've got a wetdream come true. - Fri, 12 May 2006 10:37pm

I'm happy with my guitar action. POS Tele knock-off by Peavey. Got it for less than $300 new, and I still love the old girl. Right now my ideal collection would also include an Ibanez Jet King (blue?), a Danelectro baritone, and a reissue Fender VI bass/guitar. Any one run through a pair of Hot Rod Deluxes, or something similar. I'm a man of modest desires.

Although if I wanted to get heavy into the uber-clean 80s pop stuff, I'd get a Roland JC-120. - Fri, 12 May 2006 11:26pm

Every night as I fall into a dream, I envision a gleaming, sparking, shining TRIANGLE. It is my dream, my desire, my one and only yearning to be able to get my paws on one of those babies. Yes, I admit, t'is my dream to play the one, the only, triangle.

I'd like to see this baby rip up the stage! - Sun, 14 May 2006 1:02am

I love my Danelectro '56 U2 re-issue. Mostly because I got it new for free, and it's got purple. But for DREAM I'd have to go with a Stick like You Enjoy Myself. Emmit Chapman Stick... a 10 string one. - Sun, 14 May 2006 6:39pm

My woman plays the meanest skin-flute.
Scott Henderson's saxophone deserves some kudos.
And castanets, which I practice as I sunbathe - in the nude - while good friends walk slowly in a circle around me, clapping their hands in time, "feeling the groove".
Saw Tony Levin use the Chapman stick in what's still one of my top five all-time gigs: King Crimson, Queen E, '84. - Sun, 14 May 2006 8:07pm Edited: Sun, 14 May 2006 8:10pm

XY_xSATAN's drum kit is now my dream instrument.
/with roto goodness.

Is that by any chance a 16" mounted tom, on (our) far left? If it is - that's very funky of you. (Usually they're on the floor.)

I seem to spot one cymbal - on our furthest left - and then maybe a ride, underneath, that appears to be angled away from the kit. - Mon, 15 May 2006 8:39pm Edited: Mon, 15 May 2006 8:54pm

I rented one of these a number of years back and
really enjoyed it since then they have made many improvements that makes them even easier and more natural to play.

Still the all-time coolest guitar: SG.
/wish I could conjure a photo of J.P. Jones's triple neck acoustic (with that ukelele thing sticking out of the top).

And, lest I forget - possibly the really truly dreamiest instrument of all time: the mellotron, best used (I think) by Wakeman in the "Space Oddity" song, or Fripp's playing on "Starless and Bible Black" lp, particularly the track "Trio", which I believe was a live recording in Amsterdam. - Thu, 18 May 2006 11:51pm Edited: Thu, 18 May 2006 11:52pm

Yeah I saw the clinic at Spectrum with Terry Bozzio playing the above kit. He's genius on the brink of being a tortured perfectionist, but he entertained us by himself for at least 2 hours. - Sat, 20 May 2006 3:07pm

Yeah that was a cool clinic - "Black Page" and all. Kinda wierd to hear him dissin Simon Philips. I howled (inside) when he had problems with my question about blast beats, and then later made a reference to the crowd about death metal while gesturing towards me.
