JakeFoordBass Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 My bass got stolen from a car outside my house in the Aigburth area of Liverpool on Friday night. If anyone gets offered a black Fender Jazz mim 60th anniversary deluxe with red tort pickguard in a black fender softcase with 2 leads, a sansamp and a boss tu2 in can you let me know. Nightmare!!!

munkonthehill Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 does the car have insurance or do you have insurance for the bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeFoordBass Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Cheers guys. Yeah, it's insured, it's just the sentimental thing. That bass has been around the world with me. I did always want to try a Sandberg though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakenewmanbass Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Sorry to hear of this man, but really.. overnight??? in a car... in Aigburth??? (I used to live in Liverpool) I know it's not a terrible area but there are a huge number of opportunist thieves around and about in Liverpool at night, t'was the same when I was in Manchester, I even had 2 guys approach my car as I pulled up after a gig one night. I drove off and found some police. Gear in a car is a massive target... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeFoordBass Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Mate, wasn't in there overnight, not that dumb! I was just loading in for a gig, left the car for 2 minutes to run up and lock my flat! Admittedly the car was unlocked, that is dumb. Had a PA etc in there so didn't even notice until we unloaded at the other end!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakenewmanbass Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) oh f***... sorry my misunderstanding... that really is awful... I hope you get it back mate. I knew a guy that went to a takeaway in Stoke leaving his double bass in the car for 10 mins, when he came back it was gone, convinced they couldn't have gone far he rushed around the area thinking he'd see someone struggling away with a 6ft tall instrument, he found 2 kids in a snowy supermarket car park having smashed the front in and using his bass as a sledge. He did retrieve all the pieces (a hundred so the tale goes) and had it rebuilt. Edited December 18, 2011 by jakenewmanbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkonthehill Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I suppose it doesnt matter about the insurance or the money if your attached to it buddy. I feel for your loss and I pray for their haste return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Alsatian Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Sorry to hear about that Jake - Aigburth's a nice area, but the bloody rats are everywhere. I'll keep an eye out in my local Cash Convertors to see if it surfaces there. Have you any pics of the bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackduran Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I'll keep an eye out for it. Hope you get your bass back. Aigburth is a lovely area but unfortunately there are opportunists everywhere, in every city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky I went with them really! Cheers guys, will post a photo when I find a clear one. Gonna have a call round the Cash Convertors tomorrow.
