Bassist on the Run Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 So some toss pot has stolen my bass,,, I've had my house burgled and the f***ers cleared me out!! I had a fender aerodyne and I loved it It was set up to my need I wish they'd just left me with the bass:( Anyways if anyone has a bass they don't want or a tv for that matter lol I'd really appreciate it I have a very very tight balance as I had no contents cover..... I know I know how silly!! I teach bass in my local area and gig most weekends this is my main income so I hope the f***ers that have my bass burn in a fire!!!! Please message me if you can help or have a really really really really cheap bass Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Undead Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) Sons of bitches. This is one of my worst fears, and I'm so sorry to hear that it's happened to you EDIT: I wish I had a bass to lend you mate, but I've only got the one and got a busy few weeks with band stuff.

fretmeister Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Buy insurance before you replace your bass! Burglars often come back after the victim has restocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdowner Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 The worst part is the fact that the toss-pot who stole it probably has no real appreciation of the memories, hopes, and joys of the history of that bass - they just see it as something they can sell for a few quid down the pub... My blood's boiling just thinking about the injustice Still, a good thing to remember is that all of the experiences, and skills, and music, and poetry of your playing that bass is still in your head and hands, and with a new bass you can pour it all out again into the instrument and it'll be a new, but still comfortably familiar, relationship again.

TPTroll Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Don't suppose you had a note of the serial number anywhere? You should report it to the police and keep an eye out on ebay, gumtree and local cash converter type places. Some proof of purchase would be good too, whether you bought it from new or used, in case you need to start throwing some accusations around. Chances are they won't know anything about it and will just try to flog it asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 yup, check your local crack-converters. If you've got documentary evidence (dated photos or similar) then you can plead your case to the old Bill if it turns up. I hope the scumbags who stole this get run over feet first.

Bilbo Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Wow! Got the whole story, end to end, in one sitting. One thing my 22 years of working with offenders has told me is that most of them are entirely predictable. If it is stolen today, it will be at Cash Convertors tomorrow along with a video of the offender selling it to them. Glad to see the bass found its way back to you. Anyone in Bristol seen my GK MB150S and SWR Baby Blue cab? (Stolen in 1994) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepurpleblob Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Before I read to the end I was just going to say "pop down to the local Crack Converters and pick your stuff up" It's a joke but it's now... how is that store still operating when they appear to do nothing but buy stolen goods. At least you know where to go when your stuff gets nicked I suppose... Edited October 2, 2012 by thepurpleblob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
