Greg Smith's gear stolen

I'm pretty sure Greg posted a full list with pics on FB. They did find the truck, though. Keep your eyes open - you never know where stuff might turn up...

Man that sucks. I have lived without a P-bass for decades, but if I was gonna get one, I'd be sorely tempted by a road-worn blue maple-neck like that. Terrible to have that taken away.
Basses: Gibson lpb-1, Gibson dc jr tribute, Greco thunderbird, Danelectro dc, Ibanez blazer.  Amps: genz benz shuttle 6.0, EA CXL110, EA CXL112, Spark 40.  Guitars: Danelectro 59XT, rebuilt cheap LP copy

I lost all sympathy as soon as I read this bit:

' “Please kick anyone’s a-- who tries to sell this stuff,” Smith said.'

Report, take pics/ID/identify, heck, even detain, but not this.

Once in a while, stolen guitars do show up again.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Tough guy talk from a guy that plays with Uncle Teddy. Maybe Nugent's PR agent told him he had to say something like that to protect the Nugent brand?  :mrgreen:

That's one of Larry Hartke's "BBQ'd" creations. It's torch-worn, not road-worn.
