Did Tom Petersson steal Treena's Ric?

HOLY SHEET! I forgot about her. She used pictures of MY basses and said they were hers. The whole thing came to a head when she posted a pic of a bass with a very distinct battle scar and I sent a pic of me using the bass, literally the night before.... Total BS artist...

BTW - Look for my interview of Tom Petersson along with a COMPLETE photo essay of his collection in an upcoming article in my column in Premier Guitar Magazine..

BTW BTW - I also just bought 2 tour used Tbirds from Tom...

Oh.. Tom has 2 Ric basses in the collection - Both will be discussed in my column.. He has a 60 or a 61 4000 in FG and he's owned it for about 40 years. He also has that "Custom" neck pickup only bass. The bass is a stripped 4001 from 72. It has a swimming pool under the guard. Tom says the bass is just deadly and has a distinct tone..

Ohhhh - The big Treena bust came when she posted pix of one of my basses that I sold to Craig Brody of Guitar Broker and she had a pix of his pool in the shot. Dope..

Now it all comes back. I knew you had some connection to it. And IIRC it happened in a chat. She claimed it was hers, then when she was called out, she denied it even though you could still scroll down and see her earlier comments. D'oh!

I found the thread from 2003 at RickResource where she posted about the Rick 4000. She had a couple more pics (neither with her in it), claimed it was a 1955 prototype, but it had two serial numbers, both from 1961. She did claim to be the owner.

Can you post a reminder when that article comes out please?

Congrats on the T-birds. Jealous...

Treena was a trip. A bad trip.
