andyaber Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Apologies if I'm repeating an existing thread. But... I'll start the ball rolling with... Aria Precise, a beautiful precision copy, in the late 70's early 80's. Wal fretless pro bass in the mid 80's. Sold for a few hundred quid to fund a kitchen ceiling! What do you still have nightmares about selling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Think this has been done before but happy to add my own. 1970's Fender Jazz maple neck with brown body WAL custom fretless Aria Pro SB1000 Shergold twin neck 4 & 8 string basses. All of them from late 70's to late 80's, See pics below. Dave 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldon Tyrell Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 My Fender AVRI 58 P in 3TSB. Killer bass but had to sell it to finance a Spector which I don't have anymore either. I also had a nice EBMM Cutlass in diamond blue. Sold it to, yes you guessed correctly, finance a Spector bass (which I still have). Fortunately, I got another Cutlass in coral red recently that will stay (until, well, you know what ;- ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skankdelvar Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Through-neck Maple-Glo Ibanez faker. Bought it in 1979, Sold it in 1980. It was lovely. I was skint. A bit like this but w/o the tug-bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rasher80 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Sounds ridiculous but a Squier P Special (LH). Was my first bass and had everything I subsequently looked for (and not completely found) Lightweight, P sound, J neck. Went to Cash Converters for a song. Serious sellers remorse on that one. Just didn't like the godawful Antique Burst it came with but in hindsight for the sentimental value overall I should've refinished it.

Lo-E Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I wouldn’t say I’ve lost any sleep over any that I’ve sold but there are a few I miss a little: 1980 Ibanez Musician 8-string - was never very useful to me but it was awfully cool 1976 Ibanez “Silver Series” P-bass copy with P/J pickups - sold to a friend for next to nothing because his son was learning to play. I didn’t realize at the time what a good bass it was. His son became an excellent player so I don’t feel too bad about it Mid-1980s ESP fretless P-bass with P/J pickups - kept the neck and sold the body. Big mistake; it was better on that body than any it’s been on since Out of more than a dozen instruments I’ve sold these are the only ones I miss, and not really that much, so I guess I’m doing alright.

Dood Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 This one. It's possibly somewhere in a studio in SUFFOLK. I'd love to know where! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dood Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 And this lovely bass. There's a few more that I don't have pictures immediately available to me. It was a very sh*t year for the Dingwall's 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH73 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) 1990 playing a Jolana Bass at age 16. I sold it a year later to buy a Rick copy which I mutated. I'd like to get this one back Edited January 24, 2022 by SH73 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikanHannille Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 My 2002 Lakland 55-94. Workhorse of a bass. Lightweight too. Only sold it as I moved to Alpher basses. Still wish I kept it and stuck it under my bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I do find myself missing two basses. 1978 Gibson G-3 (my first Gibson) Yamaha BB450 (can't remember the year off the top of my head. Gathered its component parts from disparate sources and reassembled it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldslapper Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Fender Precision fretless. Sold for peanuts to pay rent in 1988. Did a lot of work with that baby, got me some great gigs. 😭😭😭😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimalkin Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I sold a lovely original Fender 1962 P bass in shoreline gold, I regretted it almost as soon as I had sold it. How was I to explain that to the friend I had borrowed it off only 3 days prior? I decided it was best attempted from an upstairs window, out of harms way.

Grimalkin Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 There isn't one I can think of, not one that I wasn't positive about moving on. Probably for very good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 This Spector Rebop my original Fenton Weill, which is probably now with a fortune, and my Gibson EB2 which is definitely worth a mint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
