I think someone has one of those in B/S/T right now. I don't think it's going for too much either.

I'm happy with my Faye Sing right now.

Skinpimp Ryan gave me one of his MkI's with a nice note scribbled on the inside -- wish I hadn't sold that

What about your DAM Red Rooster? Though it is nice to have a white whale to hunt sometimes...

I miss my old Kay Value Leader and my Electra MPC pretty regularly.

Hmm...I didn't sell it but there IS one thing I especially regret not getting.

A pristine Ampeg B-15N that had been in storage for most of its life, recently maintained and ready to go. In my area. For $400.
Shit, it sold instantly.

Or that SBV-550...local pickup only in England...

I owned this Lafayette along with a 1x15 sears branded combo (solid state on the sears)
I traded them both in to help a guitarist in our band get a JC120
Band broke up a week or two later
he walked away with the jc120 I was left with NOTHING

Boooooooooooooo. Boooooooooooo.

Douche move. Not cool.

Yes, there is that. Been looking for that for a couple of years now.

Dave gave me one with a 1-digit lower serial # he still had in his drawer though

DMain, King Of Pain.

The first guitar I ever played was my Mom's then-boyfriend's vintage Vox. I think it was this:
http://www.voxshowroom.com/us/guitar/ultrasonic.html

It had a Repeat Percussion inside.
Inside!
It was never my gear, but I wish I'd figured out some way to make it mine. Didn't appreciate it at the time.

Also, kind of wish I'd kept my old crappy drum kit. Although I sold them to get a bass, then sold that to get a guitar...
But drummers are in more demand.

most of my regrets are things i could have bought for ridiculously low prices but passed on, like the Rickenbacker 330 i could have gotten for $600 a couple of years ago. or the 60s Candy Apple Red Tele a la Muddy Waters i was offered for $200 in the mid-80s but couldn't afford. and don't EVEN get me started on how you used to be able to buy Les Paul Juniors and Melody Makers and ES-135s and such for $150 in the mid-70s, when nobody wanted them...i'll be inconsolable for weeks.

i lost a Univox tweed Fender Deluxe clone with a 12" Jensen that got left behind when i moved from Washington to California in 1980 that i still miss which was an absolute screamer. i've managed not to sell instruments that i really love, but i regret selling the 4Ω 2x12 Lopo cabinet i used to have with Jensen P12s in...it worked really well with the practice amp as a medium-loudness setup for small jams and suchlike. i also had a 1984 Strat neck that was really great for my hand, almost a tele neck with a pronounced V shape and jumbo frets, which got sold as part of a parts-o-caster i sold at the same time as the 2x12 when i was raising funds to buy my Tokai Les Paul Special. and i really wish i'd kept my Truly Beautiful Disaster...i didn't hardly ever use it, but it was just SO nuts when i did use it and had such a wonderfully OTT sound that it was fun to unleash. it was especially sad to sell it because i'd finally figured the damned thing out.

I never sold any piece of gear, some things I regret buying, like my 5 string Ibanez Soundgear active thing, could have bought much cooler stuff for the money, but it was my first bass, so it won't leave.. It's for the period I thought Fieldy of Korn was the best bassplayer in the world..

And I regret leaving my Boss BF-2B in a rental van a few years ago, while on tour, never really liked the sound, but it is the only piece of gear missing that I ever owned..

Almost every single day of my life I regret not buying a 1965ish gretsch I found at a yard sale in Tennessee a few years ago for $600. I don't even know what model it was...it was one of those diamond anniversary hollowbodies is all I know. I don't really know my gretsches, but this was a bad ass all original vintage guitar with original case, original price tag, even an original set of flatwound strings.


I also kind of regret selling my seppuku fuzz overloader. I don't really think before selling/trading a pedal on here because most pedals are pretty easy to find if I ever want one again. I had no idea that they would be so short lived! I've never once seen a used one on here. If I knew they were going to go out of production so soon, I never would have gotten rid of it.

Feel a slight tinge of regret for not picking up one of those old White combos (albeit under the Oahu name)
had THE sound, but I can barely play my 5 watters loud enough to let the tubes breath, let alone a 15 or w/e watter
