What gear do you regret selling?

[PhilKing]

Where do I begin...

When I was still working in retail music (in the mid-70's), we used to get some really nice guitars as trade ins.  I never had enough to have more than 2 guitars and one amp back then, so I used to trade for ones I wanted.  In that period I sold or traded the following (these are just the ones I would still love to have):

1973 Les Paul 55 Reissue (I bought this new - but I traded it for the custom below)
1972 Les Paul Custom - one of the lightest weight customs I have played
1975 Chris Eccleshall Custom solidbody - one of the first he made, with DiMarzio SDS & PAF
1961 White SG/Les Paul Junior - enough said
1962 Fender Precision
Custom built double cutaway Les Paul with mahogany body, birdseye maple neck and humbuckers
Small Box Marshall Plexi 50 (two of these passed through my hands)
Original Vox AC30 (I had 3 different ones through the years, one original, one original with added top boost, and one grey top boost model)
Cream/Wheat Fender Tremolux with matching Bassman 2x12 cab
Ampeg B15N - I had this with the Precision - it was an incredible sound

More recently the only ones I have sold and regretted later were another white 1963 SG Junior and a 1972 Les Paul custom 55 Reissue.

I'm continually buying and selling stuff. The only thing I wish I'd never sold was a Zvex Box of Rock pedal - best pedal I've ever had. I've considered buying another, but I get my dirt from the amp these days, so it wouldn't really fit in with my rig.

not guitar related, but i had some synth gear i regret selling - a roland tr-606 drum machine, and an original novation basstation synth

Roland cube 30

Not a big deal I suppose, but I sold it when I didnt have need of it - lived in a place where all my stuff was in the lounge cos there wasnt space anywhere else. Moved to a bigger place, setup a room as a studio and suddenly found myself in need of a practice amp for slothing on the couch with. A cube 15 I gave away once was given back to me, so the duty is filled, but with 1/10th of the quality of amp (the 30 is great, the 15s a bit of a dog)

TSL602. fitted with JJs and G12Ts. Sounded great. Sold because of getting a powerball, but now doing some recordings for people it would be a really good amp to have around for rock tones that the PB doesnt really do.

I know I'll regret selling my GH when it's gone.

My 2 sale regrets are a honeyburst les paul classic with a plus top - really really regret that one

Also an sg classic (P 90s) which they don't do anymore

Ive got a Few ,

1.A Schecter 007 blackjack was an awesome seven string but i sold it to get some cash together for uni and it was one of the guitars i used the least.  :x
2. was an ibanez RG550EX one of the desert sand/silver with the body coloured headstock, great guitar apart from at the time i didnt get on with trem's was well as i do now.

3. was an ESP LTD H1000 which was emerald green (never saw one before and havent seen one since) and awesome to play but I sold it to raise cash for my US PRS Tremonti so it sacrificed rather than a complete loss but it still hurts when i think of it.

4. Was a maverick mk 2 Species 7 string it was absolutely awesome I needed money at uni so it was last in first out. Not seen one since.....

5 an edwards Les Paul custom, I sold it because it was very heavy and I had a bad back at the time because of a car crash, I let it go for a stupid price at that  :shock:

6. last but not least was a maverick f1 custom/prototype with a reverse headstock which i swapped for a jackson 7 string which I hated in the end....

You live and learn....

Nothing that will kill me...

A Marshall Shredmaster pedal went missing in a studio move - does that count?

Schecter 006 Blackjack I sold to a friend. Didn't use it much so it needed a good home.

Carvin DC135, all Koa sold to another friend. Loved that thing but, again, I wasn't playing it enough.

PRS Cu22 Artist Pack with RP pickups. Tone monster but I didn't get on with the poly finished WF neck and picking position. In some ways I regret not being able to use it to it's full potential, although that's the reason I sold it.

Ah fond memories !, 1975/6 and 21 (ish), i part x`d my Marshall 1987 50 head for the `All New` master volume 50 head. Not my smartest move, then got well behind on the payments for my Gibson non-reverse p.90 Firebird and was forced to waive bye bye to that................Bugger !!. Dad bought me a Gibson Marauder so i could continue gigging in exchange for much work, i still own this guitar.
