Title: 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.

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.

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.
