I'm not one for regrets and have never looked back on any gear sale. If I had to pick a 'should never have sold it' bass I suppose it would be a late '90s Roscoe LG3000 that I owned for 7 or so years. Great sounding/playing bass and a cool story to boot.
I first became aware of Roscoe basses in the late' 90s during a visit to Bass Northwest in Seattle, WA. I played several of them and one in particular really stood out as exceptional - a LG3000 w/ Spanish cedar body, carved flame maple top, Bartolini 'soapbars' and NTMB 18v preamp, and Birdseye maple fretboard. I wanted so badly to walk out with that bass but I just didn't have the money. On my next visit it was gone.
Flash forward 3 years - I find a LG3000 on eBay for $1150 that looks very much like the bass I wanted to buy a few years back. I contacted the seller for some further details about the bass. Turns out he had purchased the bass 3 years back from Bass Northwest while on business in Seattle, with the intention of learning to play (better? didn't quite get if he knew how to play at all). It went home and into the closet (in its factory case) and, with a heavy business travel schedule, he never got around to playing it. This was that same bass in the same (new) condition. It even had the same set of strings that were on it when I last played it 3 years prior. I purchased it of course and when it arrived it was everything I'd remembered it being - visually stunning, amazing playability, and nearly impossible to make it sound bad! Better still - for my 3 year wait I picked it up at a much better price!
But..... time moves on and things change. I eventually sold it to fund a USACG / Hipshot / Nordstrand build that has turned out to be the best sounding/playing P-Bass I've ever played. Perhaps the best bass I've ever played, period. (*Dinky-Jazz style body, Nordstrand Dual Coil in the bridge position, Nordstrand NP4 P-Bass pickup, Bartolini NTMB 18v preamp, active/passive switch, 250Hz/800Hz mid frequency select switch, series/split/parallel switch for Dual Coil bridge pickup, oil finished select medium lightweight alder body with beautiful grain, oil finished flame maple / flame maple neck, parchment 3-ply pickguard, black hardware & control plate, side mounted Jack, Hipshot type B aluminum bridge, Hipshot Ultralight tuners, Hipshot Bass Xtender on E string tuner, EBMM strap locks).
