35th anniversary Les Paul black beauty. Traded it for a Mesa Boogie Bass 400 all tube head and an Ibanez bass to play with a working band around 95. New versions of it go for about $5,000. Only thing I don't miss is the shoulder pain and loss of feeling in my fingers. :)

I really liked the tone of my ADA MP1 run through an alesis RA100 stereo amp into a pair of marshall 4 x 12's on either side of the stage. I had an ART footpedal with dual motion controllers. It was a sweet stage setup.

Oh dude (my fantasy), all my life I wanted to own a Les Paul Black Beauty and once I do, I'll never let it go. Hopefully it will be made in the mid 70's.

I traded a cheap Ibanez and a lesser Nuno Washburn for the $150 pawn shop ticket. I had about $750 total in it. Atleast I made money clubbing for 6 months after I traded it, but it's one of those items I can't see getting that good of a deal on again.

I'm not sure why I miss it, but I had a Roland Cube amp I loved! Ugly as hell, but sounded great.

Oh, also I had a red Gibson Chorvus I NEVER should have sold! I'm kicking myself.

I almost forgot about the boombox size GK amp I used to have. It had a lot of tone for such a small amp. With the chorus on it sounded almost like Maiden's Stranger in a strange land. Who knows, maybe they used one. It came out around that time frame.

Edit:
I found some info on it, and I can't believe that beat up ones are still selling for over $400!

Wow Ron that is one odd bird you had there. 100 watts through a pair of 4 1/2" speakers?! I'll bet that was one unique sound.

Things I wish I still had:

Tube Screamer
Ada MP1 (no, I don't want to buy yours bob, the pod is better, just being nostalgic)
Digitech 2101 (with all the upgrades)
My first Ibanez (442r, nothing special, but was the first decent guitar I owned)
Bose 901 floor speakers (I miss those all the time).
Unexplained erections from out of nowhere
