Damm, they were supposed to be playing tomorrow in Santa Cruz with Big Sandy @ Moes Alley.

Hope these low life scum get whats coming to them.

I have posted the 'Missing Items' list on a couple of Rockabilly sites here in Nor-Cal too.

Best of luck.

I'll keep an eye out for these things. I am always watching the market for these things and I know all the used equiptment dealers locally. The pawn shops don't offer near the same prices so they should pop up in these places.

[redmeat]

<font color="red">Did this shit happen at the Ballard show?......I wanted to go but couldn't!.......I will keep an ear to the ground up here......if JKUSTOM sees this he will wig out!....we in the COFFINS do not cotton to theives!!.......if I find out who did it we will go have a talk with them COFFINS STYLE!

My friends' got all there gear ripped off about a year ago, and they haven't heard a word since. It's so easy to pawn off stolen equipment, sad really. For what little I can do over on the right coast, I will keep an eye abound.

Tell them this though - keep an eye open in rental shops and electronic sound gear shops(the type where you rent a/v euqipment). Its more likely they'll be laundered through there.

Lowdown, infected dingleberries on an elephant's ass is what they are.

[bobbleed]

That sucks, I still think about my guitar that got stolen everyday. It's been a couple years.

[Jkustom]

That right there, is FUCKED!!!

Playing in bands for the last half of my life, Ive seen this happen a few times... I hate to say it, but Ive never seen much of the stuff turn back up, but goddamnit, I'LL LOOK ANYWAY!

Where was the show? I am always going to pawn shops and music shops, so I'll keep my eyes peeled. That bullshit pisses me off. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif -J.

Start combing EBay and ask the seller for serial numbers.

[plmczy]

Damn that sucks. I hope they find their stuff and the a-holes who did it. later plmczy

Buckshot's King doublebass was just 3 weeks old... took him a year to get it, its made for him as he is sponsored by them.... it should be easy to spot... he now has no bass at all... and both of Shaw's drumsets are gone including his bitchin Gretsch set.

Their trailer has the drop down door, and cops believe that the robbers thought there were motorcycles in the trailer.

Our buddies Sweetpea and Marshall are combing the pawn shops for the goods.

[candyman]

Gracie my bass player from my old band is on it. He is one of the very few people to own a kingbass and his eyes are peeled. We have many folks looking around. So if it or any of the other stuff shows up anywhere in this area so fucks are going down vato style ya dig?
