Old things you wish you still had.

[MudPies]

I'll start with my old DOD FX-17 Wah/Volume. Purchased when I had no idea what I was doing, yet it's the best sounding wah I've had yet.

My old holey green hooded sweatshirt I wore in High School. Ugly as hell but the most comfy thing I've ever had the pleasure to wear.

[jrm]

My first strat... I sold it in college to pay for books.

[JMintzer]

[jetsnation]

71 Les Paul Deluxe I sold for $600

[jetdriver]

My dead mint condition Mesa Boogie Mark IIC+ head I bought in High School from some poor bastard for $400. A few years later I flipped it for $800, including a 412 Mesa cab (metal grill) with 200W EV's in it.

No one knew back then that those amps would attain cult status and demand large sums of cash.

I just gave my FX-17 away. I had not used it in over 15 years. I am not much of a wah guy and I use the vol on my guitar instead of a vol pedal. It was a well built pedal and sounded great but it was to easy for my clumsy feet to turn it off accidentally during use.

[enocaster]

early JCM 800 50W head
the opportunity to go to college parties every weekend
I lost 2 awesome vintage jackets in one year, I still miss them.

I wish I had my old job back at Digital Equipment Corp. Unfortunately they were sold to Compac Computer, which was sold to HP, and I was sold down the river.

[Baxtercat]

The 1861 Civil War Springfield we pulled from deep in the mud in our backyard....in Alameda, no less! wtf? Shoulda kept it. We gave it away; we were kids.

1978 Fender Jazz Bass

My red A&A BMX bike. Stolen three times but the third time I didn't get it back.

Hours and years waiting buy stuff that made my memory not so good.

[chrisr777]

'67 SG Special
'67 Cougar



Damn, they made good stuff in 1967.

[bkd_guitarist]

Does it have to be musical gear?

When I was a kid growing up in the Bay Area, my next door neighbor was a special effects technician who worked on the Star Wars films. One day he gave me a huge poster and some T-shirts for the movie he was working on at the time - the third Star Wars movie, called "Revenge Of The Jedi." That was the original title. Before the movie's release they changed it to "Return," but there was a small amount of promotional material that was created with the original title.

Being a stupid 12 year old kid at the time, I proceeded to lose all the stuff he gave me. Which is a bummer. It was very cool memorabilia, and is probably worth a few bucks now.

[fox5150]

Musically, the guitar I had when I went from learning to playing (even though technically I'm still learning 15 years in)

Personally, my father...

That should cure it. :)

Thank you for the sentiment MudPies.

It has indeed been a 'safe place' to hide at times.

and my first amp...'68 Fender Bandmaster Reverb.

I have a 69, a wonderful amplifier. Pristene cleans but she breaks up beautifully as you turn her up. Heavenly reverb and vibrato. They can still be had for cheap too....

LOL You and I must be the same age. I saved three toys from my childhood:

- My matchbox cars
- My Aurora HO race cars
- My HO trains

I've got another case of the 1-75's, plus King Size vehicles and a bunch of Hot Wheels cars from the first couple of years

Things I'd like to have back:

- My blackface Fender Showman stack (sold it for $175 so I'd have money for dating) :love: :bitch
- My hearing

People aside, I gotta go with being skinny, my looks, and my early 70s ES-335 TD.

Matamp 1224MKii head w/ matching 2x12

my Tamiya Monster Beetle RC car I had in high school, my six year would love to blast that thing around the yard now

my '98 Jeep Cherokee Sport, although it was failing me as my daily driver, it would've made a great trail rig

May 1995 back when I bought my first new car, Saturn SC2, definetely would've spent my insurance check on something more sportier!!

[hellbender]

A 1968 Shelby GT350 I bought for $3000 in 1978 from a friend.

[AllenMance]

A 59 burst I sold for $7500 in 1984. I traded a computer for it of all things then used the funds to buy me a Puch moped and saved the rest per my parents request for college.

Gee, I didn't get started early buying/selling did I ? :-)

My virginity

[Tonemeister69]

Time.

[zekmoe]

I don't really miss too many of the instruments I've owned. I've probably owned near 100, so that probably has to do something with it.
I wouldn't mind playing the Electra MPC that I had as a kid. Double cut away with a sort of peace symbol at the base. I remember it playing very well.
I miss my DC-30 a bit, but constantly read threads saying they're too loud, and remember why I sold it.
I miss Zek, my sisters dog.

[eberg15101]

My virginity
really?:thud:nuts

[kwaves99]

My first guitar.

My dad smashed it.

wow...that must have hurt on so many levels.

[8mileshigh]

I'd like to have the feeling of not having a worrry in the world like I did growing up, those were the days...

All the feline best friends over the years who kept me sane in a crazy world....

I'd also like the opportunity to go back to the crossroads of my youth with the wisdom I have now to make better choices. This would have kept me out of the school of hard knocks...

[epluribus]

^^^ Knowin' what I know now, I'd probably get into even more trouble... :)

Let's see, just thinkin' stuff here...

Two of my dad's old cars...a '48 Ford Woodie, (This one built by the little guy in the pic for his uncle, who drove it at 12.)...

http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/6877/woodyl.jpg

...and a '57 Ford Skyliner (just about like this later model, only with a Police Interceptor in it :))...

http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/3286/fordskyliner.jpg

...both of 'em ended up in the junkyard!

My old Triumph T-500 is in my bro's garage, but I'd love to have our street Trophy back too...and the Manurhin that I fixed up at thirteen in my bedroom...

http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/7527/manur1as5.jpg

Other than that, I'd have to say our old house and our (wooden) boat.

But hey, it's just stuff, you know? Cool when you had it, doesn't last forever, it's all good. :)

Peoplewise...can't count 'em all. Thankful I had 'em when I did. :)

1965 Mustang fastback I had in high school. 289 4 barrel 4 speed. Got it in 97, sold in 02 right before the muscle car market went crazy. I have a line on another one but I don't know yet if its going to work out. After I sold it I bought a PRS custom 22. I've been missing that lately too.
