I regret selling....

[dmt]

I regret that my dad gave away my old telescope after I moved out. It had been a few years, but he could have at least given me a heads up

Otherwise, it’s more the things I should sell but haven’t gotten around to yet that I regret. Got some serious crap piling up around here

 

[Electricalbass]

I sold an early 90s sr 1300ish. It had custom made on the 24 fret inlay, emgs and an awesome wenge neck. It’s the one bass I wish I still had (sold it to pay for tattoos). That and my 85 K10, had no rust on it.

I so regret selling my James Tyler, Abe Laboriel 5. I still kick myself for that one.... a LOT!!

 

[booch29]

Yamaha BBNE1!!! The best bass I had to date...so regret selling it.

 

[DJ Bebop]

A Rondo Music Brice Hofner knock-off.
Just because I'm too lazy to replace it, and yet, I miss it

I did need the money at the time and it did get mama off my back, for a while

 

[juancaminos]

I have been playing since the 60's and have never sold an instrument or an amp.
However: 1970 Chevelle SS396, the motor started knocking in 77 so I put a built up 427 then sold it for $2000.
67 Chevelle sold to my neighbor for $300 with out engine but on a payment plan in 77 he paid about $50 then moved during the night, I never got any more money.
67 El Camino sold for two house payments when work was slow, etc

My very plain (for an Alembic) Series 1 short scale. It had the traditional 5 piece maple/purpleheart neck and a body of plain maple faces front and rear, and a chambered purpleheart core. The gloss was cracked/really badly because of a bad batch they got according to Susan W. I have no good reason to offer why I sold it (in about '09/'10), but I would love it back.

Apart from that one, I can think of nothing really.

 

[Dabndug]

Just two:

A mid '70s Led Paul Signature bass; and
A '72 Fender Mustang in CAR with rally stripe...

 

[Leo Thunder]

I never sell anything unless there is something I dislike about it. I know I would regret getting rid of stuff I enjoyed. The little I sold I don't regret but then I need to put the limit on the buying side.
The silly thing is that I keep the packaging in the cellar so I can ship it when I sell and have that excuse of being able to clean up and get most of my money back but I don't.

 

[dan1952]

In basses, 59 Pbass, 66 Pbass, 65 coke bottle Silvertone, 73 Jbass, 67 Tele bass...
Oh well...

 

[dbsfgyd1]

...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?...

74 Hiwatt Custom 100 and 412 bottom. The head was all world. It’s my only piece of equipment I regret selling. BTW, I got the head by swapping even up a Kustom 100 bass head I had lying around.

 

[Ed Goode]

Brice Z6 ... I bought it from Rondo for $125 as a floor/demo model when they shut down the NJ retail store. Miss it every single day

 

[Blackie Jr]

It's tough to live with regrets

I suppose I should have kept my 1961 Les Paul / SG Custom with 3 PAF's, and my 1983 Reissue Korina Explorer, and many more...but all were let go for market value at the time

Should have kept my Fretless Stingray several years ago and focused totally on fretless

If we stayed in our first house in a "historic neighborhood" blah blah, but this house is much better even if it might sell for less

Should have kept our true collectors limited edition 2002 Camaro SS, but we are graced / lucky to have other cool vehicles now

Can't look back and go woulda shoulda coulda

Or maybe...make enough less than ideal decisions, you kind of get used to it...and besides, always the next adventure to move onto...

I don’t regret selling anything specifically but rather, I regret selling everything. Lemme Splain...
I was a radical gear whore for many years. I bought and sold stuff far too frequently in pursuit of the elusive “perfect gear.” I bought high end Basses and only kept them a couple months, only to sell for less than what I paid. Same for cabinets, amps, pedals, rack pieces, etc. In the two years after my divorce alone, I literally spent around $50k on gear. I wasn’t even gigging and I bought 6x10, 4x10, 1x15, 2x15, etc. cabs, tube amps, ss amps, combo amps, multiple high end Basses (Sadowsky, I believe I had 5-6 warwicks, several spectors, many others.) Had I realized that there is no perfect (like I understand now) I could have been happy with what I had and saved myself a lot of cash.
These days, I’m much more content with what I have. I wish I would have figured that out years ago.

 

[minimalist freedom]

All of them...
Aria pro II, MIJ Squier Pbass, 1983 Ibanez Destroyer, Ephiphone PJ modded with Di marzio,s and Emg BQT, Ibanez SRH 505
Just bought a ray 34; feel better now.

I sold my 93 Toyota 4Runner when I started my construction business and couldn't get a sheet of plywood in the back. Low geared, top speed 65 mph, horrible gas mileage, no ac and I loved it!
I'm too practical for vanity cars. Would love an old truck to putz around on the weekends.

Back in 2015 I bought a 2005 Tundra from the original owner. It only had 37k on it, no accidents, double cab, 4x4, ac and heat work fine. I got a great deal on it as he just had to have one of the new generation tundras and needed that old one gone. I’m still happily driving it at just about 89k miles. I love that truck. Told the wife it will probably outlive me.

This is my daily driver.
Kind of big for every day.

I picked up this Squier 20th anniversary P-Bass for $100 at GC many years ago. I owned it for three years when I decided to donate it to a music education school for children in a low-income neighborhood. I’m sure that many, many children have learned a thing or two on it and I’m glad for that. But dang it I should have donated my other Squier! Haha. This P-Bass will forever be the one I regret losing.

 

[Humbled]

Good on you for donating it, and it's kind of hollow to give away the crappy ones, so you did well.
