I sold my handmade wood Stick.
I'm pretty sure I'm a useless waste of skin because of it.

-returned a mint Japanese-made 75' reissue Jazz Bass that I was renting and I've never been able to find another. Best bass I've ever played. They wanted only $600 for it. (2005)
this is a sad post.

This was a pre-EA barcode. Bass players should definitely check these things out, the amount of low end they can put out is pretty great.
On another note, I just got a Boss FZ-2 for cheap, which does a great job of copping the Sly and the Family Stone fuzz bass sound. You oughta check it out.

Thanks for the suggestions. Actually, I have rented two Geddy's before and, though they sounded good, I couldn't really get with the feel of the neck. Too thin and, for lack of a better word, jagged. I also want a rosewood board next time around. I'll probably go with Warmoth neck and body and then see what's available for everything else.
Jesus, this thread is making me cry.

I was young (around 96'-97') and vintage Fenders were still cheap and plentiful.
Now please excuse me while I go stab myself. Stab, stab, stab.

46two tb-1000's, one red one koa,could have traded even-up
for my 76 sg. I thought the sg was worth more at the time so I
held on to it, only to trade even up for a mij tele two years later.
I'm dumb.

47I guess my worst gear mistake was tryig to get by with an amp that I knew wasn't "the one"
I ended up selling my life insurance and going through 2 amps, and then finally selling my 69 jaguar to fund my Twin Reverb.
I miss the guitar, but the amp was more important.

I have one for this reason, and for the fact that it's s my home computer basic audio interface. I'd use it a lot more if I had a good pair of headphones.

Nah, the good headphones only help serve to highlight the shitty sterile/fake sounding amp modeling. I have been down that road, my friend.

49The only thing I regret "getting rid of" was my first drumset. I forgot about it after a move because I had a nicer one. So fucking stupid.
If some kid is laying down the law with it now, then it was for the best.
I still have my first snare drum. Twenty five years between that Taiwanese POS and I.

If you plug a small (6") home stereo speaker into the headphone jack and crank the shit out of them they sound kinda cool. Turns it into a weird little practice amp and the little speaker almost blowing up takes away from the fake sheen.
