warwickhunt Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 This has just returned to the fold after an extended holiday with another BCer. [IMG]http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g119/warwickhunt/100_1059.jpg[/IMG] Is it just me or have many other BCers brought basses back after selling them?

Beedster Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yep, sold my my 4003 FL to Greg and then bought it back, best decision I ever made (bass-wise anyway). BTW, that Sadowsky looks familiar John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose there's only one other bass that I want back and unfortunately the only way that I can get it back is to find a JayDee bass that the present owner would swap me to get it back!

Clarky Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Guilty. Several times. Think I owned my beat-up CIJ 70s Precision 'Sid' at least twice and have owned my current Alleva-Coppolo 5'er twice now. I also owned a 2009 US Jazz twice (Beedster owned that one at one point as well!) I've also just bought Beedster's (recurring theme here) Takamine B10, having foolishly sold my old Takamine B10 to dave/essential tension. Need I go on?

Gust0o Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yeah, my Charvel came back to me from Jon - very light bass, super little P/J. If it hadn't come back I would have had the mission of finding another one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo-London Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I have a '86 MIJ Squier permanently on loan to a fellow bassist. Does that count? Davo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I've only ever sold 3 basses. I don't ever want to see any of them back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 looks like a nice bass WH. why did you sell it in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizznit Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 No-one on BC as I have only been a member for 3 or 4 months, but a friend of mine is giving me an opportunity to buy back my old Jaydee Supernatural that I sold him 12yrs ago! I did regret selling it to him. Great little funk machine! However, I bought it from a second hand shop for £350 and now he wants £900 for it!

Conan Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Interesting idea! Maybe we should start up a "swap-shop" thread, so that if you are just a bit bored with a bass and want to try something else, you don't actually have to sell it - just swap with someone else for a while!! I like that idea. Anyone like to swap a nice fretless for my Status? Just for a while of course... Edited March 8, 2012 by Conan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 [size=5][sup]Well, it is a nice looking bass. Not sure why you would have sold it in the first place. [/sup][/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] what can I say.....I bought her the best chrome bling money can buy, lavished plush-lined cases on her, waxed her with my own hands.....and still she went back to you oh well On topic; I'm so bad at selling basses that when I do I'm pretty sure about it.

warwickhunt Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 I sold her on a whim as another bass became available that I desired (not 'needed') more. What can I say; there are those bassists that are wedded to their bass(es) and those who can quite happily buy/sell/trade/swap and not have many qualms. I'm a mixture of the two as I have a couple of basses that I have owned for 20 years, though other basses that I'll readily sell or trade to try something 'different' (not necessarily better). I'm not going to draw too heavily on the marriage/mistress analogy as I am genuinely happily married and no other woman on earth would let me mess about with basses the way my wife does... well, except for Beedster's... Clarky's... Molan's...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she looked disappointed and told me I should keep on! (what she doesn't know is stuff will probably get sold to pay for a ring for her*... thats my other reason!) EDIT: * before anyone asks, the basses are going no where! Ill stick a price on the yamaha SG and try shift that, maybe some other odds and end. No i'm not loaning you warwick hunt!
