What's the largest amount of money you've spent on one piece of gear?

As per the title what's the most any of you have spent on ONE piece of musical equipment? Even though there's a poll it'd be interesting if you all specified the amount and the piece of equipment you spent it on.

I spent €1800 on my Martin acoustic guitar. Would have cost me €2600 if I'd bought it in Dublin, but the internet came to the rescue, and I ordered it direct from the States..

It's my pride and joy..
