I still have my first real bass 1980 Peavey T-40 and the one that got away 1982 BC Rich Bich with built in Effects. Boy do I miss my Bich!

Italia Torino. This was a large-body semi-hollow short-scale that was available in several unusual colors. Was the only short-scale in the Italia range and has been discontinued for few years.

MIJ, late '80's early '90's Ibanez SR800.
My first "real" bass is a 1990 SR800, put into retirement for a number of reasons. Recently found a '97 SR800, but not quite the same; just replaced the '97 bridge with a "vintage" Ibanez identical to the one like my 1990 SR. Not really into stacked knobs, but she sounds pretty sweet.
...but the Stingray Special is numero uno, and here to stay

I thought the Mark King design replaced the Rogue (although I may have been misinformed).Alembic never discontinued any of their models, they even keep the templates of the custom shapes.
Some models don't have a product page on their site (fi Spoiler/Persuader, Elan, Distillate etc.) but Mica said she's working on that(though that was a couple of years ago)
Jay Turser JTB-134. Hadn't really thought about it but most of my basses are discontinued...

That I've owned but sold it would be a Modulus M92-5 "Sweet Spot".
That I currently own it would be my Matt Freeman PBass.
