This may have been covered before but I would be interested in the gear that you regret selling the most. For me it is as follows:
1) Electric Guitar - a '93 Blonde USA Hamer Daytona Strat with Maple Fingerboard that was just fantastic. I still search the web to see if I can get a used one. I had a Fishman Piezo Power bridges installed and it just sucked the tone right out of the guitar. For some reason the electric tone was as flat and "dead as a doornail". In a moment of madness I sold it. Anyone got one of these "Strats" let me know please ...
2) Acoustic Guitar - A Guild Dreadnought that I found in the basement of a small music shop in London Arcade in Durban. It had that typical "musty" smell when the case was opened and must have already been a few years old but was brand new. I have no pics but it was a mahogany body with a brown sunburst effect on the soundboard. Man what a sweet tone!!!! I actually sold it to help with the transfer fees on my first apartment when I got married in 1983. I sold it to Syd Kitchen who I recall was also very complimentary about the tone and said he would be keeping it as his own personal guitar. At the time Syd owned "Syd Kitchen Guitar Saloon" (I think it was called that way back then - sounds rather corny now).
3) Amplifier - a Tweed 4x10 Fender Bassman that I bought new at a basement sale from TOMS Braamfontein in the 90's as well (I think I was a little stupid in the early 90's :^)). I sold it as I just got tired of carting a 4x10 Amp and two guitars around!!
Ok that's mine - how about yours. Try and limit it to one Electric, one acoustic and one amp if possible and relevant (one pedal or effect could also be added)
