What gear do you regret selling?
« on: January 30, 2009, 04:30:38 PM »
So how about it?

Me:

I've always sold what I have grown not to like, or what I've replaced with something better. The good things however, I'm nowadays like a pack rat  :lol:

But the one piece of equipment I really regret selling was a Mesa/Boogie Studio preamp. Great preamp, and they're worth more now than what I sold it for :?

And I actually sold it to get a Line 6 POD 1! I was a student back then so money was short. And the POD served me well, but it still hurts to think that I got rid of the preamp to get the POD..$%&#. I would kick my own ass if I could go back in time.

So let's hear it people!

Oh man.... well there's the 67 Vibrolux Reverb, Hughes and Kettner Triamp, VHT Pitbull and an old Hiwatt 4x12 with Fanes.

Nothing guitar wise, I don't really get attached to them in the same way as amps.

The only guitar that I regret selling is a Patrick Eggle Berlin that I had briefly.

I had to raise cash quickly, and it was either that or sell my LP - which wasn't going to happen.

one of a kind 1 Pickup Vigier Ultra with passive p/ups in black diamond with a maple board, i kind of didn't sell it, the strings had cut grooves behind the nut into the headstock (didn't see until i restrung it) and as i spent c£2,800.00 on the guitar i was shattered, returned it to the store the next day for a refund.

Saw a clip of a guy called Joe Grouse playing it at a vigier clinic, sank to my knees in an epic movie style and screamed NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  PDT_032

I gave away my £12.50 3/4 sized acoustic to my mates kids.

I loved that axe, wish I'd have kept it (never changed the strings in it's 14 years - it was so wrong it was wicked).  Sounded great in it's own way.

Early '80s Hamer Vector - sold it on impulse and really wish I hadn't.  That's definitely my biggest regret.

1989 Fender Strat Plus Deluxe.  I mostly miss the colour, Gunmetal Blue - I would've modded the hell out of it by now if I still had it.

EB/MM Axis Sport - I don't particularly miss it, but it was a very nicely made guitar.  Probably should've kept it and changed the pickups.

1964 Gibson SG Special - never really got on with it, but I wish I'd sold it for more money!!!  :(

Sovtek Mig50... got it for a bargain at £200 shipped from the US, and then after a while went and part exchanged it for a JCM900. I love the 900 now, but the Mig will always be an amp i'd love to get back again, it had so much promise :)

I am of the few who haven't sold ANYTHING that I've bought which I regret - yet.

Same here Jonny.  I've only ever sold gear to get other gear that suits me better  :)

I regret that I bought that Randall Combo just because I didn't want to wait for more money to come in and buy a better amp...

My early 70's Bigsby-equipped Gibson SG.
I bought it cheap with a broken headstock, and had it repaired, but didn't persist with setting it up long enough, and lost patience with it. That was in '85.

My Gibson Sonex 180, which was my first decent guitar, and was surprisingly good. Sold that on Denmark Street in about '83

My '82 Fender Bullet, the Strat shaped, tele-necked, single coil tapped HB version, made from parts lying about the US factory when they almost went bust. That was a superb very inderrated guitar. If you see one, buy it.

Amp-wise, nothing! 8)
