Recent 'should have bought it' gear?

[aussy]

Recently had to pass up on some gear, which I really wish I just bought it

70s deluxe memory man (my favorite pedal, own 2 90s reissues, this particular one was used in demos that first inspired me to get a DMM)
super early zvex octane (realized after it was what I wanted, price lower than I'll ever get again)

Anyone else pass on some choice gear lately?

passed up a jomox xbase 888 and 09 recently...it was rough

also passed on a sunn pa system but it would have been a 3 hour drive to get em and 3 hours back.

...i think it was for the better, my wallet almost had a heart attack



dude i would love to get my hands on a 70s DMM....i also have a 90s DMM and it sounds awesome...ive tried to replace it many times with other delays thinkin it would be easily replaced....DMM crushed everytime

Well, this isn't so recent but I'm going to share anyway. This is because I'm a rebel and I break all the rules.

A year or two ago I found a Frantone Cream Puff for sale for something like $120. BUT, I had recently bought a car, so I couldn't really buy anything.

I used to own a Cream Puff but it and a bunch of other gear was stolen. I currently have a Peach Fuzz, but it's just not the same.

Somebody give me a Cream Puff.

It's not very interesting, but there it is!

only think i can really think of was a year or two ago not sure there was an Akai S2800 at one of the Pawn Shops here in town for pretty cheap. like way cheaper than what it would be on ebay or whatever. & i didn't get it becuz i assumed it would be there when i had the money. & it sat on the shelf for a while too.

oh & that BRAT that was on teh ILF b/s/t hate i didn't pick up that for like what was it $20 shipped or whatever.

malekko si b:assmaster for $160...

college has been draining my moniez

1966 Ge Fuzzrite on ebay -- went for $180 and I forgot about it
Also just missed a 50s Gibson acoustic on CL pretty cheap, and I've been looking for one for ages. One of the disadvantages of not living in the city...

Worst though is a guy offered me a (70s I guess) 50W HiWatt half stack in the 80s because he was 'upgrading' to some mosfet Marshall crap to 'get away from all that old valve amp rubbish'. Asking price was £50! But I was an unemployed teenager, broker than a really broke thing, and I couldn't afford it.

What a painful thread, it feels like group therapy. Here's mine

Henman-Bevilacqua offset Jazzmaster style with chrome pickguard and fittings on pale green wood... the company has split (lost the Bevilacqua) and will produce cheaper guitars (their headstocks are fugly but wow, it's an Apple-guitar) designdesigndesignANDsound

I had half the funds saved... $2500US and was going to take a trip to the US next year to get my own with all the fittings, but now... am heartbroken.

Vintage 60's Vibro Champ on the 'bay. Totally forgot about it and it went for cheeeeaaaps.

[HereticPride]

'66 Mustang on ebay. White Finish, beat to absolute shit. One of the prettiest guitars I've ever seen.

On the plus side it would've easily required a couple hundred dollar set-up to get it back in tip top playing form.

[bobloblah]

you can almost tell just by looking at it the set up is shit
but damn
that's a pretty geetar

[HippieHiku]

not on ebay anymore wanted to see some more pictures...
