Has any one regretted selling a certain bass?

I had this cheapo Samick bass that I sold because I was short on rent. Aside from some wiring issues, the thing was a beauty. Looked good, played well, and sounded amazing. It could handle everything I threw at it, country, indie-rock, progressive death metal.
 
I had an Ibanez SR700 and sold it because I wanted a Fender Jazz. I regretted selling it the next day. Ended up having a Fender Jazz for a while. Sold the Fender and got another Ibanez. I still have my Squier VM Jazz so I'm not that upset about selling my Fender.
 
Bought a fender mustang bass back in '07. I was 17, and irresponsible with money, so the loan I took out to buy the bass had to be paid off ...by selling the bass. :(

Now, 5 years later, I'm probably going to get the Mikey Way signature or the squier VM version because I'm older, have bills to pay, and have a loan out on a car.
