Glynn, you are shallow.  ;-)
 
I wish for a BMW R1200GS and to be able to ride down the rode with Neil Peart.
 
Too many Alembic wishes to narrow it down.

Or Kylie Minogue in her uniform from the Dr. Who Christmas special of a few years back (Tennant's 2nd?).
And, as we all need at least one birth-year instrument, from 1956:
Les Paul
ES-175-D
000-28
Emperor
I hate maple boards, so I'll go dyslexic and take the Strat & Tele from '65 instead of '56
Oh, and a Spoiler with a crown headstock.
And a '64 Vibroverb.

Hey fmm,  
A St George? You had that in Iowa? My first bass back in Iowa was a St George I bought from Renier's. A Fender-esque body, heavy as hell, two ugly white rocker switches for pickup on/off. I bought it in 67 or 68 (after playing my dad's NICE post-war Gibson wide body / no cutaway guitar as a bass for one Jr high dance and being told I couldn't use it again). I think I traded it in on a used EB-2 by 1970 and never looked back. I actually have pictures of me in High school with that bass in my first band, The Jems. (Yeah, I know.) I mostly played it through a Silvertone 2-12 guitar amp. What a crapfest!  
I was playing Come On Down To My Boat, Satisfaction, Sky Pilot, and dreaming of learning Brown Eyed Girl back then.

Mike:
I think it's the same bass.  Did you trade it back in at Renier's?  That's where I bought it.  $45, but I got $20 in trade in for my POS Kent bass.
 
I was playing through a Heathkit 2 x 12.
 
I was playing in the high school jazz band, and got the St George 2 days before a concert.  The Kent was short scale, the St George was long scale.  We were playing a Maynard Ferguson song with a long unison section.  I could no longer reach all of the notes in root position, and had to quickly learn what those higher frets were for.
 
I'd love to see a picture if you could find one.

Heathkit!  My first amp was a Heathkit I bought with my Bar Mitzvah money, (along with a $30 Japanese electric from Sam Goody's), and built myself.  I think it was a TA-16.  It had reverb and tremolo.  I remember how cool it was that I could turn up the tremolo and play Crimson & Clover.  I still regret selling it to a friend for $10 in 1973 on the eve of my moving from NY to California.
 
Bill, tgo

Just to further hijack the thread:
 
We put together a combo in high school.  We were playing a party, and on a break, my friends completely disassembled by bass and amp.  They didn?t break anything, but if it was held together with screws or clips, they unscrewed and unclipped it.  
 
Putting everything back together began my education on maintaining basses and amps.

[Glynn]

That does sound like the old bass player joke - My band mates don't like me - they de-tuned my bass when I wasn't looking. So what? They didn't tell me which strings they had de-tuned
