Guest McBass Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Well a bought a Rick 4001,black with shark's tooth inlays in 1983 for £200, totally ruined it by defretting it. Swapped it and a Yamaha fretless for a lovely Wal custom fretless, figured maple and Wal case,no lines on the fingerboard. Sold it for £300 in 1991...eek Jaydee Mark King made to order 1986/7 Sold for £350 1991/2. Totally regret selling all of those basses now...

cheddatom Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I had an old musicmaster before I ever knew they were sought after. I loved it but moved on to 6ers and so I swapped it for a sh*t drum kit. I'm glad I took up drums but I really miss that musicmaster.

bartelby Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Can I nominate a bass my dad sold in 1971 for £60? His '62 Fender P in some kind of pink colouring (Fiesta Red is too dark, Shell pink is too light). If he still had it, it would be in mint condition, with it's original case and all the paper work.

Clarky Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I've bought and sold a lot of basses but two still rankle with me as bad decisions: A Fender CS Pino bass that I sold back to Jas/Legion - every bit as good as my year-of-birth P bass (and half the cost!) and it just had something indefinably lovely about it (combination of the light weight, worn in neck, finish etc) Alleva-Coppolo LG4 (the Jazz shaped model) in sunburst - best Jazz I ever played, currently in Happy Jack's hands (though I continue to work hard to prise it out of his grip!)

ezbass Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Yamaha BB300, my first bass, traded with a mate for a Westone Thuder III. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 My gloss black Corvette $$ with an ebony board I sold to Jam for £525. I am unrivalled in twattishness for that. It's a beautiful bass and I am getting another Warwick to replace it. My mint Hohner Jack Bass Custom I'd had from new that I sold on ebay, one bid at £100. %^£^%^*$!

My regret is swapping an Ibanez Studio Bass for a Riverhead on the basis that it had been owned by Dave Pegg (The Riverhead that is) Edited September 26, 2011 by chaypup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 A spotless early 60s Epiphone Rivoli in Natural finish. Bought and sold for £105 many years ago. Not because it was nice or anything. Just because I could have made a few bob. No regrets otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgraham Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 From recollection, I have only owned 7 basses. I sold 3, still own 3, and the other 1 (my first bass) died from a broken truss rod. Other than the odd 'y'kno that bass would've been nice to keep around' feeling we must all get occasionally, I have never regretted the sale of any of my basses.

Delberthot Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'm sure we've done this before but there's only one currently and that's my Riverhead Jupiter with Badass. Last seen in Sound Control Dunfermline in 1994 after I traded it and a Boss ME-6 for a Bass Collection SB305 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 My Status Stealth 6 string. Probably because it was the best 6 string I've ever played. I'd not use it all that much, but I wouldn't say no to having it back or getting another one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeFRC Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 in my jazz buying splurge last year i went through 3 amazing jazz basses in 6 months. 1) the red valenti No.42 jazz - loved the sound and playability - loved the pups brilliant but not for me the sharp edges 2) the USA fender FSR 75 (ish) ir - sounded good, felt good.... and fun to play - but cost as much as my other basses put together so I don't miss them at all..... the 1975 cimar ash jazz bass...... mmmm that was so fun to play. I miss it, it cost £70 and I did it up for a friend and sold it for £120 (with new bridge) but mmmmm I want it back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesfinn Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 The biggest regret was an S9 serial late 70/early 80's p bass in cherry sunburst. I think a basschatter has it now! I don;t know why I miss it so much but it just felt right despite being about 10lb, it was also the only maple fingerboard I ever got on with!

bassatnight Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 1) Aria SB1000 in Walnut, 1981 model and was totally mint sold it for £375 in 2000 2) Fender P all black with maple neck (best neck I have ever played) 3) Westone Thunder 1a just because it was my first buy back in 1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I have to say that I have been pretty happy with all my Bass sales so far, except for a natural Fender P that I sold to a guy in Bury St Edmunds when I was about.. err 17 or so. Would love to know what happened to that! - but I regret selling a lot of my amps and cabs. I wish I still had a lot of them, so: 2 x Tech Soundsystems ND410s cabs 1 x Powersoft 2004 poweramp 1 x Ampeg SVT2 Pro my original SVP-BSP - if i'd kept it, I wouldn't have had to have bought a second one! 1 x Trace Elliot V-Type preamp Those particularly stand out as some real favourites!

Noisyjon Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) I had a Tacoma Thunderchief acoustic bass and a Fender USA modded P/J bass that I sold on in a stupid GAS attack... Miss both terribly and don't why I moved them on now *sigh* Edited September 26, 2011 by jonthebass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subbeh Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) The only one I really miss was a lefty Japanese Fender 62RI Jazz. Took me quite a while to find another bass I liked as much as that one. Including several considerably more expensive instruments nothing felt as good to play as that old Jazz, would buy it back in a heartbeat!

acidbass Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 To this day, I regret selling my Warwick Streamer Stage II to Frank (machinehead of this parish). It's good to know that it's local and being treated well, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Marsh Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Traded my LTD surveyor with Rasta for an LTD b206 (I think). Miss both of those as I just didn't give them enough playing time. Was at the same time that I got my Corvette though, which is a miles better bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
