A cautionary tale.

On Tuesday I swapped my 6 bolt 89 silo for a Gibson SG Classic.The one with the P90's.It's a great guitar,light, great high fret access,good tone,tight no flab. But I REALY missed my silo. So today Friday,I swapped my tele for it. GREAT to have it back. Have you ever done a dumb trade you regretted.?

Yep. Not take the 'we've got 40 points so we can stop trying now' approach of last season.

Hoping for a (mostly) fit team as well!

Well if by some strange chance you just happen to miss your tele, you can have mine. For your silo of course.

I've read too many of these regret stories here to even think of doing such things!

 

[roburado]

I have no interest in trading my Balls.

 

[Axilla]

Oh, you know - some guitars keep coming and going. I even traded or sold some Balls I had, just cuz some appear more comfortable to me than others. Then other Balls appear and...

...you all know how the story ends...

 

[TNT]

Wow, that's "really" livin dangerously!!

 

[marantz1300]

I could have got another ball,but I think it would have more been diffficult to track another 6 bolt. My one might have ben gone for ever.

Actually I regret it the other way around. I had a 1974 Rickenbacker 4001 bass guitar that my brother "sold" me really cheap. (Basically he owed me a few hundred dollars and gave me the bass as payment). I like the Rickenbacker look, but the bass had issues. I took it in to get repaired 3 times, but still had the same problem with sound going out intermittently.

After the 3rd time, I got so frustrated, I ended up selling the Ric and buying a used Stingray. I like the Stingray better, but my brother was kind of pissed off or hurt or whatever. I guess I should have sent it to the factory for repair or upgrade. I figured it was mine and I could do whatever I want... but I did sell it for more than 2x what my bro sold it to me for. I think he wanted it kept in the family if you know what I mean.

Yeah, in retrospect I really wish I hung onto that Ric.
