I regret selling....

I must have sold at least 60 by now and don't regret letting any of them go.

They're just tools / things and I get bored of them all eventually for one reason or another.

I'm just counting my blessings that I've never been forced to sell any of them for rent, but as we're still a long way from the end of this lock down my fingers are firmly crossed.

A 1992 Warwick Thumb ( thru neck ) which I bought from new ( first really quality bass I owned ).
After a pickup died I had it fitted with Bartolini p'ups and three band pre-amp.
It truly was a "tone machine".
Then I got tempted by a Status Stealth 5 string and traded it.
Regretted it after a week, went back to the shop, but it had already sold :(
 
My surf green warmoth Jazz. It didn’t get played enough and I was in a tight spot financially so it went on the chopping block. Hope it’s being played somewhere.

...my vintage 1970s Dan Armstrong fretless lucite for about $650 about 10 years ago (value now $1500+?), a vintage Ross guitar compressor for $5-10 at a garage sale some 25 years ago (value now $600+?)...and I can't remember if I ever collected on the vintage Mosrite Ventures Guitar I took to Ray Henning's Heart of Music in Austin some 30 years ago (value $2500?).
How about you?...


My fretless elrick that you have. :-)
