Gottastopbuyinggear Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I feel for you. I've only ever sold two guitars, still miss one, and don't like the one I bought to replace the other. Lent a guitar to my niece ages ago, missed it and caused a huge row with my in-laws when I asked for it back despite the fact that she never played it. Gave my first bass (Westone Thunder - given to me by another friend years ago when I only played guitar) to a friend, and I'm trying desperately to not ask if I could have it back having just found out he's still got it.

Dazed Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I'm planning a major sell off soon. I've fallen into the "collecting more than playing" pit. I shouldn't be reading this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmettC Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I sold a G&L Tribute L2500 thinking they were pretty common and easy to replace, I have never found one as good as the one I sold. I have tried an American one that was as good, but over twice the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 One of my biggest regrets in life was selling my Framus Star bass in 1967. It triggered retirement from playing music for 23 years. Eventually I saw the light and then I found Bassworld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great bass and I could do with an active fretted four. Lots of bass for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnFitzgerald Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Shouldn't have sold my... 1969 Fender Jazz Bass - Daphne Blue. Jaydee Supernatural, yes, a Mark King. Bought new, around 1985 or so. Wal Pro Bass. Status S2 Status S1 Yamaha TRB5 Steinberger JV Squier Jazz - bought new in 1982. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 'Twas ever thus. To be fair, I've sold only a couple of basses that I shouldn't have and I can still properly justify the sale of one of them. Guitars on the other hand...well that's another story, the dumbest sale/swap of which (and there are many) would be my Yamaha SA2000 for an Ibanez Roadstar, especially as I really wanted a Tele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilco Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Two for me; Mainly, of all things, a Fender Highway One Jazz bass (bad ass bridge / posiflex truss rod version) - really regretting off loading that one. Sounded special. Closely followed by a 1980's Aria Pro 2 SB Special 2 which I purchased used in 2010 - sounded great & was probably the easiest & most comfortable bass I've ever played.

Hobbayne Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I dont really regret selling anything. They are all just tools to enable me to do my job.

Doctor J Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 No regrets. There has always been a good reason to sell. It's easy to have rose-coloured glasses looking back at gear, particularly the longer it has been since you sold it, but things always get moved on for a reason.

AustinArto Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I gave a '90s 22-fret Jazz to a friend before I moved back to the UK from the USA, must've done 300 gigs on that thing, regretted it ever since. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
