Plays like a dream..
I got a used Barefaced Super Compact. Best cab I have so far tried. The amount of quality volume this lightweight cab can produce is astonishing.
I would say that my best purchase in 2017 was most definitely...
Musicman Cutlass and the Fender rig behind it. I have a ton of stuff but I really don't need anything else after getting this. It's perfect.
Guys, thanks for the contributions, I'm enjoying the thread.
I think it is especially cool when people are doing more than just throwing up a picture, because that's when we understand exactly what turns you on about the best piece of gear you bought in 2017.
Enjoy!

My best bass gear acquisition was actually free. My little sister bought a house from an electronics guy and found an abandoned home made guitar pedal which appears to be some kind of modified Klon knock off. She gave it to me, and my jaw dropped when I plugged it in. It's now my main overdrive.
Fender Deluxe Active Jazz in okoume, really like it, and got a great deal!
My good friend Jeffrey made this beautiful modern re-imagining of the classic 56. Nordstrand BigRig pups, Sadowsky 3 knob preamp, custom carbon fiber look pickguard. Great add to my stable.
Finally found my holy grail; my 2014 Ruby Red 4003.
I picked up a Lakland 44-64 this year that is exactly what I was looking for in a P.
The Avalanche Run from earthquaker devices is another awesome gear purchase from the past year.
I also upgraded to a new computer with an iMac and plan to do some recording in 2018.

This is a tough one.
My top 3 best gear purchases in 2017, in no specific order:
~Something that I thought I'd never get the chance to own, but an amazing local deal popped up, my early 1962 Fender Precision bass.
~A pedal that I've been looking for, for a very long time, my Chicago Iron Parapedal Wah.
~My most used purchase, my Mesa Strategy eight:88, again, got an amazing local deal.
If I had to choose only one, it'd probably be my Mesa Strategy. I use it the most out of all my gear, and it is so, unbelievably, versatile. I can play at nearly bedroom levels with a 410, or level an entire city block, thanks to the multi-wattage switch. And it is just an awesome sounding amp.
