Most studios have musical instruments be it a grand piano, guitar cabinet/head, whatever. I've got a couple guitars, basses, some drum machines/samplers and a few classic synths.
I was wondering if there are any sort of standard musical instruments that most studios have that clients would expect. I'm thinking along the lines of something like a workstation synth, or drum kit are maybe specific guitar amps.
Recently, the work I've been doing has been passed along to me from other studios and I've run into a glitch here and there not having the same equipment as some place else.
Aside from instruments is there any specific gear (aside from NS-10s) that a studio should consider getting?
On the top of my aquire list is a B3 and leslie. More for personal use but it would be nice to have one in the studio for whatever.

I don't know that there is really anything you absolutely have to have?
a hammond with a leslie would certainly make your studio more attractive?
it's probably good to have a mid level drumset that is versitile...
you can probably get by with a pretty cheap bass... I have a epiphone eb-0 (it's a nice alternative to the standard p-bass or whatever)
there are a few standard recording amps that alot of studios seem to have on hand: a roland jazz chorus, fender twin, vox ac30...
any quality vintage synths would have to be thought of as a bonus?
I would suggest investing in some of the standard guitar pedals (you never know when someone will crack out something gross and want to record with it) a delay, big muff, tube screamer, tu-2...
I guess whatever you can get your hands on that other people don't have, gives you diversity and an edge.
there are certainly people better qualified then me, but I hope this helps?
