Instruments you wish you hadn't sold

Fender pre cbs precision bass ( black & white), 1976 Fender strat and a Rickenbacker 4001 bass (1974). Why the hell did I do that? I sold some others but they were not in the same league as the above. That Fender bass was so good :'(

I sold a set or 4 octobans. I don't miss them but I probably could have gotten more $ for them as they were the wood kind. I think they are all made of fibreglass now.

Quote from: Farrell Jackson on July 10, 2011, 09:53:13 AMI have tendency to keep everything musical that I've ever owned, lol!

I keep everything too, although I sold my first two guitars and my first two amps. I was young and had no money, so I needed to sell them to finance my next music gear purchase. I wish now that I'd kept them. Not because they were great guitars and amps (they weren't), but because I have a sentimental attachment to them. They were my first guitars and amps and I have many fond memories of using them. Plus, my second guitar was an early seventies Gibson SG-200. Not a great guitar, but Gibsons have appreciated at a ridiculous rate since then and it would probably now be worth many times what I got for it on trade-in. I traded it for a better Gibson which I still have. Since then, I haven't parted with anything and don't intend to.

I still cry for my old Roland Juno 60 and my Fender Rhodes 73, i miss a Roland D-50 but i'm waiting for a D550 so this item was solved. I used to have some Yamaha CS-20m monophonic synth, i love it but i really miss a Minimoog, i never had one but i miss it ;)
Guitars i just sell my first ones and i like the new ones so nothing is missed. When i achieve my Plexi Marshall 100w i've let go an old Marshall Artist 4203 and a Roland JAzz Chorus 55, i miss both!!!!
I'm a sentimental guy!!!!
I'll search for some pictures.
Music, music and three times music!!!

Oh well ........

Hi all, only a couple of guitars. A very early Gibson Melody Maker and a Fender Jazzmaster which even now I regret selling and I'm going back years, it was just so versatile. Two amps, a fender Showman that I couldn't afford to have repaired and a Fender Tremolux that I would really like to have kept but couldn't buy the Marshall stack without the extra cash. Now I wouldn't sell anything, regrettably once you're old enough and comfortable enough to afford what you want, the need has in most cases gone. :(................Willie
