Whether it's 50p or £50k, what is the best purchase you have EVER made?

I bought the Bafut Beagles from an Oxfam shop a while ago for £1. Yet to start it though.My sister bought me a Penguin paperback edition of My Family And Other Animals sometime in the 1960's prompting me to collect all Gerald Durrell's books that had then been published including the wonderful Bafut Beagles and a couple of subsequent hardbacks I had for Christmas. The little collection of 11 books were the only books from my peak teen reading years to make it through life to our current home in 2013. But my battered little much loved paperback that triggered it all was not to survive. Mrs Earle decided as it was my favourite book, it should be replaced by a new edition for my birthday and had already thrown away my treasured copy by the time I received my gift. I've never opened the new one. It stares balefully at me from it's place in alphabetical order amongst the other older Durrell's, still wondering if it will ever fulfil it's purpose.

Yeah mine's also a bit battered now. Those 1970s Stingrays are really effing heavy too.A friend of mine has a 1970's Musicman Stingray. Sounds beautiful, looks like a toilet seat![]()
May i ask what strings you use, flats or rounds? I have a Music Man Stingray Special and am so undecided on what strings to put on it.My Musicman Sterling Bass Guitar, circa 1995 for an entire year's student loan.

Always rounds on that bass as they help give it that classic metallic Musicman sound. I hollowed out the nut and used it with a BEAD tuning for a few years but eventually got over all that ridiculous nu metal rubbish and put it back to stock.May i ask what strings you use, flats or rounds?
