andyaber Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 I'm guessing that a leather scratchplate model would be one of the earliest / rarest / most valuable. Only ever seen a pic of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyctes Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I had a Yamaha BBN5. Cheap as chips. played nicely, could have done with a pup upgrade but was quite adequate. I regret selling that, especially given what happened to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I said goodbye to my Alembic today 🙁. Even as I was handing it over to the very nice UPS man, I had that knot or regret in my stomach. I know it's going to a very good home, but that doesn't make it any easier. Another regret is a Rickenbacker 4001 I had back in the 80's. It had issues that I wasn't knowledgable enough at the time to rectify. I miss the Stingrays I've sold recently, but I'm playing slimmer necked instruments now that my old hands are thanking me for. So all of the above would have been nice to keep, but not much point doing so if they're not being played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
