Sensible, indirect answers are not an option!

Jeez, I just went to go to the bathroom and three replies?

And yes. Lakland wins, indeed. Being from Chicago wins more

Id invest it in Lakland as well. Truly great products and wonderful people to deal with. I called them a couple years ago when I was considering a purchase and they invited me down to the shop to chat and look at their process. It is a top notch company and I look forward to buying another one as I unfortunately had to sell mine.

I would put it in something that you know is gonna turn out mass like Boss, Berhinger, Laguna, Epiphone. making Money and preference in what you play are 2 different things. my new love is Spector, but i dont see them turning out the mass the above will turn out.

Lakland.

I wish my parents would have invested in Fodera a few years ago.

Boss and Berhinger are pretty good ideas.

Oooh yeeeah. Which reminds me randomly, my grandfather had a huge home studio. Ridiculous. Gave it to a second uncle of mine I think. He sold it.

Well no. I'm saying that yes, that is a reasonable answer, but being a tad more specific would be nice. No offense or anything.

I'd invest it in Barker. (I think I could almost swing one of his Vertical basses for that much.)

Call up my man Don Oatman at LDS and gladly assist him in leasing a new shop/store. It sucks not being able to stop in for a quick chat or playing through his latest creations.

You could if you find the right window and swing hard.
