You KNOW he's losing money. Seeing it's from Rockford, maybe it's Rick Neilsen's? rockford.craigslist.org/msg/4211228147.htmlBuyers remorse, sellers remorse, we've all had it. What's your worst case? Mine is still giving up my early '70's Aria Diamonds single pup hollowbody bass in 1981. Stupid.

Pawning my first electric, a Fenton-Weill, can't remember the model, bought, cheaply, from my next door neighbour, who's best friend and collaborator was (I believe) Alan Parsons (this is way back in the 1960s, before the black and white TV changed to 'technicolour/psychadelic'............ Giving my hand made, Spanish, butterfly-inlaid, gift from a drummer-neighbour, very first guitar, to my nephew. It got broken and thrown away, while he was into Rockabilly, in the 80s.

Mid 1960s Vox AC30. I refurbished its non standard speaker cloth, put 2 extra Vox handles and the piping and a Vox badge. I also fitted four quick release castors that I used to wheel it into the shop jn Camden, North London. They gave me £90 for it against the latest bit of kit that had benefitted from glowing reviews in the music press. Ouch. I even knew it was daft at the time but... Now I harbour resentment against peeps lucky (or sensible) enough to have held on to theirs (or wealthy enough for that matter.) I chopped it in for an Award Session 15-30 (that I still own.) They only made 400 or so of those so I really should count myself lucky. The 15-30 was even modelled (very loosely) on an AC30, even down to the cabinet volume. It was back in 1980 what we would now describe as a "boutique" amp and was hence well ahead of its time. Then there was a Wem Copycat valve driven tape echo... Then a script logo MXR Phase 100... Then a 1960s Musicmaster bass... Then I threw an Electro Harmonix Screaming Bird in the bin (trash) and I can't for the life of me think why. I also threw an early Coloursound "Supa Tonebender" fuzz pedal in the trash when distortion / overdrive pedals first came out. (I still don't "get" fuzz pedals to this day.) They were great at the time. I'm definitely missing the point on fuzz pedals, so no flame please! That's why I no longer part with anything. It's a problem, but I'm on top of it! ;<D

I traded a 68 Fender Bassman head(silver face) for a Marshall mini stack. I had no idea what I had.

I've yet to have any real amp remorse... But I would if I gave up a Bassman! My high school band teacher had a nice Wilder bass head and 4x10 cab (Locally made), I loved that amp, but it was never mine. I've had a few I've fixed for others I'd wish I'd kept

Selling.... It would have to be my Carvin H2 Holdsworth. Buying..... This damnable PRS Santana SE. Sounds good, plays good, but I just CAN'T love it. Even stripped all the finish and epoxy from it, redid it in a tung oil finish, and still can't love it.

I recently passed on a PRS SE double cutaway, and I have to say, it was easy to pass on because it was... sterile. No vibe for me.
