Sorry for the redundancy. I posted this in the gear buy/sell section, but everyone's saying I should post it everywhere possible: My bass was stolen Sunday night (Apr.13) between 8:45 & 10:00 pm from my friend's car (as were her headphones) - parked on Johnson Street between Gov't & Broad. It's not a super expensive bass, but I loved it. It's a Fender Squire Precision, a dark burgundy with a white pic guard (in a black backpack style carrying case with 2 patch cords - one, bubblegum pink; the other, blue & red). If anyone hears about it, please let me know. The new band I'm in (The Judd Hirsch) is having its first show next Thursday & the timing of this really sucks, but thankfully I've been able to borrow one for the show. If anyone sees/hears of someone trying to sell a bass that that looks like this, please let me know. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks. - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 10:54am

In such an upscale area of town. what has this world come to? You would think no one would be able to steal anything around there with all the hookers and junkies around..... - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 12:54pm

Those who steal have a special place in Hell designated for them. Those who steal musical instruments should be hung by their balls or labia, whichever applies. Hope it is found, I would seriously cry if someone stole my shit. Then I would find them and kill them. - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 3:49pm

Just ask Randy Tucker about leaving equipment in unattended vehicles :) - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 5:20pm
fawn (the bee's little drummer) It is true, we do know better and are kicking ourselves.
The car was locked and the guitar was hidden, but even still we should have taken it with us. Thank god the iron cobra was still there. - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 6:46pm
Ace If it was locked and hidden, and nothing valuable was in view and stolen as well??? Could it be someone who knew it was in your car at the time? - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 7:13pm
Anonymous funny how this happens right before yur first show eh? Was there animosity between past players for this band? - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 7:21pm

the deer and fawn stolen instruments make this boy want to hang himself. - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 7:46pm
crow yea randy tucker lucked out i hope you do too susan.But the idea of a digruntled ex bandmember or competition for your spot sounds interesting.GOOD LUCK!! - Tue, 15 Apr 2003 8:39pm
fawn (the bee's little drummer) I doubt it has anything to do with the show, no one really knows anything about our band yet.
My guess is that the person who took the bass must have seen us getting out of the car because that is when we moved things around and it was visible then. - Wed, 16 Apr 2003 3:31am

queen bee will do. Someone's actually made a posting about selling a bass that sounds a lot like mine, but he/she says it isn't. I've posted that I'd like to check it out (I will be needing to get another one anyway), so I'm curious to see if I'll actually get a response to that. - Thu, 17 Apr 2003 4:01pm
?? any luck on locating your bass? - Sun, 20 Apr 2003 11:43am
Anonymous I know the person who posted that one for sale that sounds like yours. It was a joke! A mean joke, as you can read, he got slagged for it. - Sun, 20 Apr 2003 1:23pm

speaking as a non-disgruntled band member, whoever stole our queen's bass is a dumb bastard. maybe we should break out our ninja army and get some shit done... - Sun, 20 Apr 2003 2:13pm
Anonymous I'll keep my eye's open for it, but you should read the paper more, they have told us not to leave valuables in your car when you park in the RED ZONE - Sun, 20 Apr 2003 4:09pm
queen bee No luck with the bass yet. I figured that the posting was probably a prank, but since he was insisting that there actually was a bass for sale, I figured I'd call his bluff & try to see it. I never got any response, which didn't really surprise me. Thanks for letting me know, though. - Sun, 20 Apr 2003 4:44pm
Anonymous I bought the bass from that guy.kick ass sound, i tossed the white pick guard too gay for me - Sun, 20 Apr 2003 7:35pm
tunesmith Any luck finding your base?? Hope so and hope the fuck that took it dies an agonizing death! - Fri, 2 May 2003 12:19pm
meathead whats the RED ZONE ? - Fri, 2 May 2003 1:15pm
Anonymous To bad you don't have any common sence. you had to learn the hard way.
you were stupid enough to shuffle stuff around in the vehical to hide it before you left. hoping those 50 homeless drug addicts wouldn't know what you were up to.

typical senario: bass was traded for $10-20 coke/herion. the bass will probably sit around the drug dealers house till he trades it for something he needs for his diablo game.

i never lock my doors downtown, i never leave valuble things in the car, i never had shit stolen from my car downtown. when you get old enough to read the news paper or understand the tv news. you will understand what most of us have known for years. - Fri, 2 May 2003 5:45pm
Anonymous The Red Zone, is the name that authorities in Victoria have put on pretty well the whole fucking down town. Remember a few months ago, every single night of news began with the Red Zone Report, awesome. Oh wait, you have to be able to afford a tv to see the news, my bad - Fri, 2 May 2003 7:28pm
The Ref Hey Dick weed! Everyone makes mistakes. It's a sure thing that this person will never (and I mean NEVER) lose an instrument again!!!

Lesson learned! But, as a player, I would do anything to help this person find that bass, rather than beeking off about how it shouldn't have been left! It was! It's gone! Lets try and help!!

Loser! Your probably the heroin head that stole it in the first place!!! - Fri, 2 May 2003 10:20pm
