Status seems to be popping up a lot here! I've had three and it would take a lot for me to let go of my Series II as it really is a special one! Might as well post a picture of that then...

Sorry don't understand the question... ;-)

The stand out one for me is the Beedster built 70s Telecaster - I really, really regret that one. I still yearn for both the Precision and Alembic I bought off Clarky...one day I'll have both back in stock

I had a 2-colour sunburst Fender P that I swapped for a Mustang in 1981 when I joined a band to play rhythm guitar (I had another P bass, a '76 which I still own). I'm now convinced that it was an early 60s one and go into a cold sweat when I think about it. Hey ho!

I also had a Fender Telecaster which I sold and then missed really badly. I bought a Strat which I just didn't get on with, but the guy I sold the tele to did like it, so two years later I got my beloved tele back in a straight swap.

My P, the Jazz and the Tele will never be sold!

You've obviously not got divorced then? :)

Most of mine have gone now but life is too short for regrets :)

A Jetglo 1982 Rickenbacker 4001, which I bought for £500 in 1992 - had to sell that in 2002 to keep my car on the road. I also regret selling my black/tort 1998 American '62 Jazz Reissue in 2005 - again, to get my car taxed and MOT'd.

I think the only one I really regret selling would be my MIJ Fender Precision 51 Reissue. Not the right sound for me, but I loved that bass, it just looked so cool. In fact, I sold it once, and regretted it, so bought it back. Only sold it again as it wasn`t getting played, decent bass like that needs to be cherished and played, not just stuck in a rack.

2 basses for me - my Mk1 Kingbass and a MIJ 62 reissue Jazz with Bartolini pickups. Both great basses.

Sold the Jazz when i was playing more 6 string guitar, and sold the KB as it needed constanty tweaking to get a decent sound, that said, it played like a dream and build quality was awesome.

Looks just like the one Mark King was playing the first time I saw Level 42 live! His Status sound is by far his best, no doubt!

Never got married in the first place...

In the 37 years that I've been playing I have sold a total of 5 guitars and basses and I got rid of all of those because on reflection I didn't really like them.

The only one I would vaguely have like to have kept is the Futurama Bass, but only because now I could get a lot me for it in real terms then I did back in 1983. OTOH it's sale did help buy a Roland SH09 Synth which was a far more useful musical instrument.
