What would your $3000...

What would your $3000 starting taper rig look like???

The above amount is my budget and I was just curious to see what everyone else might buy theoretically...

$3000 for a starter rig is a sweet budget :)

I'm so out of the loop on gear costs though that I can't really play.

Hopefully it would involve some 4011's :)
And the Sultans... yeah the Sultans play creole

I personally do like the Song Catcher better, but it is not for every mic.  The Song Catcher is an all FET preamp, the ACM is all op-amps.  The FET's are fantastic for detailed mics.  The op-amps are better for warmer mics..

I ran p-mod UA5 in the past and it took me a good while to get used to the FET sound.  I love it now....
