Keep or sell my Warmoth Telebass? Advice needed

Having lost my father just 5 short years ago, I'd be remiss if I did not say 'keep it'.
Keep it!
If you're not in love with it at the moment, put it in a case, and put it in the back of your closet.
My father was a tough sailor - spent many years on a submarine back in the Diesel-electric sub days.
He loved us, and we knew it, but did not do many things outwardly to show it.
One day, when I was 16 or so, and "thought" I was in a band, but did not have a bass, he took me to the music store and bought me a Gibson bass and a Polytone Brute.
He then drove me to the rehearsal to find another bassist there already.
I was crushed, and we returned the bass.
But that act, I'll never forget.
Damn. Miss my dad. :-)
 
as others have said, KEEP IT!!! Your dad gave it to you. After you get over the emotions that you are going thru you may regret selling it!! You could always pass it on to one of your children (if you have any, don't know)or a neice or nephew someday. Plus from what I read on hear parts basses don't have a high resale.
