robocorpse Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Repost from a while ago in the vain hope any of this has turned up... some of this is very recognisable. All this equipment was illegally removed from premises in Willesden a couple of years ago. There was a lot more, but these are the main bits. If any of this appears (quite possibly smelling heavily of tobacco/skunk, not mine BTW) then PLEASE contact me urgently. Reward offered if I can find the druggy bxstard who ripped it off, his mobile number miraculously doesn't work anymore, but he was well known as a brilliant but extremely lazy technician in the amp-repair world until he did a runner with everyones money and equipment, now he is just a c..t who owes me several thousand quid of vintage gear and a big fat apology. INSTRUMENTS: Tempest (Greco) Electric Guitar (double cutaway, natural finish, maple/walnut thru neck, like Alembic, extremely rare) Selmer Clavioline (late 1940s, black covering) EFFECTS: Alesis Microverb 3 + PSU Grampian Reverb unit, 1960s, grey casing. TLA Ivory Valve compressor Great British Spring Reverb tube AMPLIFIERS/SPEAKERS: Sound City '67 DR103/105 Valve Head (S.no 0198) Watkins Custom 15 guitar combo amplifier Ekosonic 2x8 guitar combo amp (extremely rare, only a few in the country) Nolan Valve guitar Head (blue panel, silver Vox type knobs) Traynor YM3 Guitar Combo Amp Selmer Zodiac 100 Valve Head with rare built in effects Orange PA Head, transistor, but in valve-type case. Kelly 50 Valve Head Lafayette 12" Dual Concentric speaker (very rare) 3x Reslo mics HI-FI: ART VPL valve preamp. DD Audio valve preamp Thorens TD160 + ADL arm and cartridge Ariston RD80 Reference Turntable, BOXED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 That's not the sort of stuff you could sell on without raising a few eyebrows is it? I wonder what sort of a scumbag took it off his hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 The two instruments might be tricky, but the rest of it would go on eBay without making a ripple. Sound City, Watkins, Selmer, Orange? They all turn up every week. Having a list like that "go missing" would be a nightmare for me - sorry to hear about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynepunkdude Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 What was the guys name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverinebass Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'd look on Facebook. I tracked down someone for a a mate who had something very similar happen to them (i.e. scumbag who had nicked loads of gear from them). Unless he's got an insanely common name you'll probably find him then it's rather easy. Hope you get it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
