Guest Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) EDIT: to play this game best, a link to the original advert would be lovely 😊 Firstly I didn't need a p bass in my life, secondly a 1¾" nut would probably be far too much for me.... ....but I can't forget this Cort sold earlier this year. I love the combination of pale colour, white pg and maple neck, and I love the Di Marzio sound, and I definitely like the idea of a 7 lb bass. And it went for £155!!! Gah.

Reggaebass Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 There’s been too many, a few limelight’s spring to mind, by the time I’d typed the message, it had sold 😥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I should’ve bought this. It was around for a couple of weeks and I should’ve found a way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Oh God, this is a thread that is going to run and run. My problem isn't the ones that haunt me because I didn't buy the item in question, but the sheer volume of those that haunt me because I did 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I don't have pics but going back over 12yrs there are only two that I wish I'd bought and both owned by (minor) names. One was a vintage Fender Precision in red that boasted the claim of being ex-Musical Youth and the other was a 1976 Bicentenery Gibson Thunderbird (ex-Quireboys) that was only around £650 at the time. Obviously now it would be nearer £3k. Regrets, I've had a few, but then again too few to mention.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 The poplar burl overwater 5, but sadly it was one of those non communicating buyers or I would have bought it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I’m still gutted that I missed out on this 78 P, I was abroad at the time and couldn’t get a decent signal and missed out , I still search for it sometimes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the neck would be much too broad for my comfort. But perhaps that's part of the strange attraction.... 🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 several years ago - can't remember how many - there was a Ritter bass in the for sale thread for £900. I seriously thought about it, but decided £900 was too much 😖 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloke_zero Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I thought this thread was going to be about traumatic BC Rich ads. I'm still haunted by the Eagle that came up a few weeks ago - it's probably still available I just don't have the money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Last week... Missed it by deliberating too long... But I'm not too sad... I have something else French coming!

LukeFRC Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) There was I think Wes Steed ( @wesfinn) built a beautiful Herbie Flowers jazz bass replica, that I think @molan owned for a while. It was up for sale here twice I think, and then also at Bass Gear. At all times I hadn't the money Who knows where it ended up https://www.vintageandrare.com/product/Custom-Herbie-Flowers-Jazz-Replica-2011-Relicd-Blue-38375 Edited May 19, 2021 by LukeFRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammybee Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Not a BC ad, but Norman Watt Roy's 1960 Fender Jazz for 6k at Andy Baxter's a few years back. I had the (spare) cash at the time, thought about it too long & it was gone. Think it would have been a cracking investment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple of chats with Andy about it. It took him a few weeks to shift it, I guess it was a lot of cash back then for a bass. Kick myself at least once a week for not grabbing it at the time & getting the OG to show me how to play Rhythm Stick properly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
