I have bought and sold dozens of instruments over the years, but the following are the few I should have kept:

1978 Gold on Black Gibson Les Paul Custom
1972 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Gold Top
1964 Fender P Bass
Early Fender Jaguar

And the one that got away....... years ago I was playing bass for Louie B. and he offerred to sell me the 1963 ES 330 dot that he was playing at the time for $300, but I passed!

Something I still want...I watch them on eBay all the time! I had an old wishbook when they were 1st produced...remember the tri-color lighted ones??


I just wish I had one of my old junk sets for pratice so I didn't have to drag the kit out of the trailer all the time.

I passed on a '66 ES330 for $600. Guess I'm only half the nit-wit you were. Doesn't make me feel any better though.

1976 Blonde Fender Mustang Bass.. I really loved this guitar. We found one on E-bay the same year only chocolate It had some bumps but Dick made it look just like new. I treasure this one.

Wait...you lost me. You had your Charvelle circumcised? It's a short scale now?

In the last 22 years I've owned over 45 stringed instruments, Guitars, basses, acoustic,electric, mandolins, resonators, and at any givin time I kick myself in the ass for getting rid of every one of them. I most recently got rid of an Epiphone LP that I loved but just didn't have time to play. At least I know it's in good hands. I vow to "Never " sell another piece of music equipment again! Even if I have to buy a second house for storage!

I have everything I've ever gotten. Well, about a million cables have disappeared.

Wish I still had all those cables! =)

30 watt Marshall Artiste 3203 with 4x10 cab. It really just needed re-tubed, but I needed beer money even worse. I kick myself in the ass every single day over that move. I don't even know if the amp was particularly valuable, but it sure had an awesome distorted channel. I'd love to play that amp live now. *sighs*

For me, it's a toss-up between the Vox Super Beatle amp I bought new in 1966 and a blond Fender Bandmaster (circa 1964 that had unreal amounts of gain for an amp of that era! Those were the days....

my GK guitar amp. It was a combo amp the size of a lunch box, but it was so loud you couldnt stand next to it. it cost me $75 and was worth hundreds. The amp blew out on me about a year after i got it.

I had a Red Snakeskin 2x10 Fender Prosonic combo. It was one of the very rare early production custom shop models. A beautiful amplifier in form and function. There are many times I still think about it's clean tone. Probably the best I've ever heard. I sold it because it didn't have a separate EQ for the clean and dirty channels, and I've regretted it ever since. I've since bought a prosonic head. It sounds good, but it just isn't the same (and doesn't have the killer reverb)!

My Peavey 5150 2x12 combo.

The shitty Sheffield speakers went & I sold it :cry: . If I knew then what I know now, I would have just swapped them out for the incredible awesomeness that is a pair of Celestion V30s.

Right now I'm really wanting another one (or a head/mesa 4x12), or a Mesa F100.
