Dino Gear Pictures

[sweeney]

Here’s some pictures of some of the gear that was stolen.

Lou’s bass is a sunburst pre ’73 Rickenbacker 4001. That’s the model number, not the serial number. The black leather strap is held on with duct tape, and the toggle switch is held in place with tape. The A string tuner shaft is halfway broken off. The bridge is a Badass mounted on a piece of rosewood. The pickguard is broken at the top. There are no bridge or pickup covers.

This picture shows the bridge a little more clearly, this is something that would be just about impossible to change. It’s a pretty recognizable bass.

Here is J’s "Amma" orange Fender Jazzmaster. It’s now covered in Amma stickers that would probably be hard to remove. It’s a unique color anyway.

Here it is in its case, three of the Jazzmasters would be in these Anvil style road cases. The "Rory" signature Stratocaster ("Mountain Man" guitar) and one or two Jazzmasters are probably in vintage style Fender cases. J’s Jazzmasters are all modified with Gibson Tune-o-Matic bridges.

Here is J’s pedalboard, probably the most crucial piece stolen. It is a Custom Audio Electronics remote switcher that controls his racks and pedals. It is made by Bob Bradshaw and it is one of a kind, even other CAE pedalboards vary from this. It is in a purple Anvil style road case with a compartment on the side for extra pedals, midi and guitar cables, etc.

There is a tuner, mute switch (silver box) and Teese Wah pedal mounted to the right of the switcher. In this picture the tuner has come loose from the velcro but you can see where it goes. To the left is a "memory store" switch.

Here is a close shot of the CAE box. Some of the labels by the switches have changed but you would still recognize this anywhere.

Here’s Lou’s backup BC Rich Warlock bass. It’s a Korean model that he probably doesn’t even care about, but it’s out there. We had a choice between buying this and a cheap Fender P Bass for a backup, I think you can see that it wasn’t a hard decision.

I don’t know why you can’t simply click on these pictures to embiggen them, but you can right click/view and see them a little bigger.

If you have any info call or email Bart Dahl, pictured here.

Do you have any pictures and/or extra info about the Rory Gallagher Strat? I’m assuming that this was the limited edition replica of Rory’s own guitar. My father is a big Rory fan- he can pass this info onto the Rory Gallagher groups too, since it’s relevent.

[sweeney]

Here’s one. The tuner hadn’t been changed in this picture, it now has a gold Grover on the low E string. This is probably the best way to tell J’s from any other Rory Strat, since they are all reliced the same way.

What kind of amp is that in that last one?

[sweeney]

That was a Mesa Heartbreaker that was owned by the studio where they were practicing at the start of a tour. It sounded so bad that J gave up after only a few songs.

hey kevin …

which guitar is this ? It’s from Forget the Swan on the Rollins show … I’m guessing it’s either the vintage or new purple sparkle jazzmaster.

Hi Tom, how’s it going? I think that one is the ’59 Jazzmaster.
