Stuff you regret selling?

Virus TI2 Polar
MFB Synth Lite

Re z1… I have 2, been trying to sell one of them for months. Kinda surprised no one biting as it’s cheap and a classic digital muscle machine, and isn’t silver coming back in vogue?

As for regrets, nothing really. Maybe a tascam 246 I sold for peanuts just before the tape cassette resurgence. Can’t justify the stupid prices they go for nowadays, or the maintenance required to have them working optimally, but it was an amazing piece.

I try not to have any - cause life’s short, you have two hands, 24 hours each a day and a whole host of other priorities. Take an approach to be grateful that you have experienced that piece of gear (in mind) and get to move on to other stuff. You could go “backwards” to try vintage stuff or “forwards” to try the latest and the greatest. If all else fails, you may have emulation/software alternatives to get back some feels. Other than that, it is better to move on to other stuff and for those who still cannot let it go, buy it back again?

The only thing is a Fender Jazzmaster MIJ from 1994. I’ve since bought it back. Otherwise, I get rid of shit I don’t need really quickly “y sin asco”.

Emu 4XT maxed out expansions (adat) and RFX-32
Avalon 737 micpre (great eq section)

All the Moogerfoogers and an SY77.

Sometimes I really miss my Octatrack as a mixer and performance FX unit. But as money is short currently and I sold it to buy gear I use more or less daily, I think it was still a good decision.

That list is worth a mansion today :sweat_smile:

Waldorf Rocket … it’s a fun little box.

Yeah I know, considering how little these boxes did cost like 30 years ago compared today is a bit crazy

BMW 3 Series wagon. They don’t make them anymore (at least in America). Sold it during COVID because of financial worry. But if i’d held on just a little longer…

Oh, and Digitone Keys.

I miss a bit my Korg delta.
But this thing was so huge in the room that I can not keep it in 2018 IIRC.

Funny thing is the buyer had already one and wanted to have a backup for not for playing live, so that was a good things for him.

I have such a soft spot for wagons
I feel for you.

Thanks, man.

There also NO REASON why that rs6 wagon is asking that price…….
Thing should be starting at 70-80

There are a lot of cars I love, but would never buy cause they are just “fuck you” money. An Audi wagon is an example.

A black Ovation Breadwinner.

It was mint, I got it for a song in the late 1980s and I had no idea what I had in my hands until a friend’s dad bought it (university poverty) and I went ‘round to his place and saw him playing it for the first time.

For all other gear, I’m all in with the “shoulda sold it sooner” crowd.

I sincerely regret selling the Linn Drum I bought for 150 bucks at a pawn shop in Austin circa 1997. :man_facepalming:
