what shouldn't you have sold??

for me its a 72 Thinline Tele(guitar not image making machine)

A voice inside my head was screaming dont do it
- but by that time I had caught "Retail fever" - if the sales assistant had offered me a couple a jelly babies and a wing nut for the tele I'd have probably accepted.

I won't even say what I part x'd it for - needless to say I no longer have it

I traded a nearly-new 1991 Gibson Les Paul for a Marshall 4x12 cabinet and a set of power tubes for my amp. The local music store TOTALLY took advantage of a naive young teenager...

In 1975 I traded a Gretch Chet Atkins Country Gentleman - it was about a 1960 model. I traded it for some piece of junk acoustic guitar.

I still regret it.

my soul to the devil?

Check ebay, sometimes you can buy it back for a steal, or so I've heard. ;)

But you have to be sure you're not getting a rip off clone.

Hmm... good question.
I haven't really sold anything I regret selling, except perhaps an old Roland drum machine that was just SO easy to program... except I don't really regret that now, since I have a bunch of other drums for that.

Now, what shouldn't I have BOUGHT:
That's easy... Roland MC303... Roland MC307... Korg Z1 (still have it but never use it and don't want to regret selling it so it sits there taking space)... Yamaha RS7000 (still have for the same reasons I have the Z1)... several computers... several audio interfaces... several midi interfaces and controllers... gigabytes of unused loop libraries... gigabytes of samples... half-a-dozen virtual instruments... Sonar 7 (sorry, I regret it for personal reasons)... on and on and on...

- zevo

The one thing I wish I hadn't sold was that 10 ton shipment of sensimillion. For 2 reasons. 1 - the orange overall thing. 2- still be nice to have, I think.

Of course I am talking about Pasta.

The mono synth I had back in the '80

Korg MS-20 and MS-10
Roland SH-101 and TB-303

I also had the Korg MS-02 interface so I could convert HZ/V to Oc t/V.
With it, I could link all those synth together. Lot of fun.

I sold them for almost nothing except for the SH101.
I have put it on EBAY a few years ago I got 460$ US (about 640$ CDN at that time).

Top of the line Marshall JCM 800 50 watt head - had all the bells and whisles that money could buy in 1987 - some say it was the best model of JCM 800 ever made - here's where the knife gets plunged in - I sold it to pay for one of those abominable early 1990s fender solid state "red knob era" amps - yeah, the one that I no longer use anymore.

Marshall 50W head and 2 2 x 12 cabs - sweet sounding amp and the cabs were so easy to ferry around when gigging.

Sold them in about 1985 for £100.00

Replaced (eventually) by a rather noisy, obnoxious Peavey Bandit which weighed twice as much and had nothing like the tone of the Marshall.

Idiot.

You're not a Sniff n' The Tears fan by any chance are you?

Not so much as I sold it.

I hadn't used the Fender tweed my grandmother used to play during the late 50's early '60's, as it wasn't big and loud like my stacks. So dad took it down to the Salvation Army without saying a word. When I found out I was simply crushed. I knew what it was worth back then. Dad's comment "well you weren't playing through it, so now maybe someone will." I drove down to the SA thrift store (at that point 2 weeks had passed) to find someone had already bought it........

My '65 Rickenbacker 360/12- I sold it to finance a move to LA to join a band that imploded after three months.
My Oberheim Two Voice and Four Voice- I needed a fairly substantial cash inflow at the time.

ew

I shouldn't have sold my first guitar. It was a heavy-as-hell, dead-sounding Squier II Strat, but I should have kept it.
