wow bummer, sorry to hear that about your friends. That stuff is never coming back either. Stolen gear is like a needle in the haystack. Goodluck though. I check ebay on a regular basis for jazzmasters and jags. Ill report if I see anything.

Thats not necessaarily true WB.
the Mermen got a whole trailor full of gear stollen from them in Las Vegas. It took awhile, and there was alot of krooked people involved, including the police in the small town in Montana where the stuff showed up. But they got about 2/3rds of it back I think.

Does anybody remember the name of the bass ackwards town their stuff was found in?

The Mermen's gear turned up in Kallispel, Montana, of all places.
Some guy bought Martyn's drum kit, saw the Mermen's logo on it,
and e-mailed Martyn to ask about it. One thing led to another, and
after about 3 or 4 months of wrangling with the police, lawyers, and
even the F.B.I., they got a good portion of their stuff back!!! Very Happy Very Happy
Unbelievable!!!

That sucks, but at the same time if not getting the gear back means J Mascis will tour with Witch, I'm all for it. Twisted Evil

That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it.
