Circlet of Persuasion
Charisma Gear
Masterwork Instrument
Badge of Valor
Crystal Echoblade
Vest of legends
Harmonising Weapon if you didn't go with lingering song feat
Goggles of the Golden Sun Cast pyrotechnics everywhere you walk
Eternal Wands of Pyrotechnics should be 4,420 gp
Rod of many wands.. cast three wands of pyrotechnics at once?
hat of disguise
Resistance Items
Some escape items like anklets of translocation or vest of free movement
Rod of Splendor Keep in mind same type bonus so you don't stack same bonus coming from another location
Twilight enchantment to reduce casting penalty if you go with mithril shirt +1 bonus. -10% chance on casting failure
Hire a bunch bards to comment on how great you are in game as they praise you from dawn till dusk.
Hire more bards to play along with you during combat, lead singer, bass, lead guitarist, harp, violin, drummer, what ever you want. Start up your band.

Don't need twilight property on the armor, since bardic and sublime chord casting both have no ASF in light armor.

As armor goes, I quite like the MIC's mithralmist shirt. Don't forget an augment crystal... if you are primarily hanging back and buffing/casting, crystal of arrow deflection is quite nice especially for its low price.

Crystal echoblade is fine, but if you have limited bard levels and are staying out of melee anyway, don't worry about that too much.

Make sure to shop for some useful low level scrolls (even a wand or three); you do have UMD maxed, right?
You pretty much can't go wrong with wands of Lesser Vigor and Resurgence (and off your own class list, a wand of Inspirational Boost saves you spell slots for other things). You will want a Handy Haversack to keep everything in, to boot.

Maybe plan to buy death ward and freedom of movement(and see invisible) and other buffs you would like to see going after you are hit by a disjunction?
