I still kick myself in the bASS every day for getting rid of the 80’s Rickenbacker and Gibson Victory…ugggh!

I lost my teddy bear on the London tube when I was 6. I was devastated. I imagine he’s probably settled down by now. Maybe with a nice female bear and raised some cubs. He probably works in insurance.

@Darkhorse41, to answer your question, I regret selling my Danelectro Longhorn short scale. It wasn’t fancy or expensive, but it was a great sounding bass that was super-easy to play.
On the other hand, I don’t regret getting rid of the only Fender I’ve owned: a 73-74 Jazz.
I also don’t miss having my 74 4001 Rickenbacker. Just never gelled with it.

I don’t regret selling any bass except if I were collecting I would have held on to my SBV-550 after upgrading to the 800MF, just because it was relatively rare and was awesome.
I occasionally miss my TRBX604 as I loved it so much, but after buying the SBV and the BB I just never played it.

I sold my Tele Bass, and sort of miss that, it was a beautifully crafted bass; but now I have Herbie the Love Bass with that fat humbucker sitting in the middle position instead of the neck; when I feel the pangs of the Tele Bass, I can pick up Herbie, and she’ll do.

My wallet would certainly be happier if I had simply kept my first Revstar. Or my second. I will try not to sell the third

I was on tour and doing my pre-show, post-sound-check town wandering in Telluride.
They have a music store there.
There was a '65 P bass there with a slick, almost Jazz-bass-esque neck on it that played so great. It was $4,000 and I don’t regret not spending that money, but I do regret not putting it all on a credit card that I’d still be paying off.
I also very much regret not buying an incredibly affordable Fernandes bass in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Once again wandering into book stores, coffee shops and music stores on tour. I still have a photo to remember it by…
That I can’t find right now.
Damn.

This is a loaded question for me.
I tend to pine over every bass I sell. Two of my three current basses were well thought-out purchases, followed by impulsive sales for idiotic reasons, followed by impulsive re-purchases when I found them for sale again.
I am actively pining for one of my sold basses… a violin burst Fender American Deluxe Dimension. I have my eyes out for another one, but… I’m recently single and once again my own CFO, so it’s going to be a while. No more impulsive purchases or re-purchases for this guy, that’s for sure.

You snooze, you lose, @Gio.
But, regardless, sorry for your loss.

Hey @Gio, what Fernandes? They are inexpensive domestic instruments here, I could take a look around…

Wait… what did I do now? Did I snatch a bass from right under your nose, Dave?? Which one was that? I don’t think I did that on purpose though…

Oh not at all. I wasn’t even paying attention. It was also on the wrong continent with a price tag above my mad money stash. I wouldn’t have bought it even if I had known.
I’m very happy it’s with you!
