I know I’m on the west coast, but I know a Vintage guitar retailer who has a pretty big name within the industry. He’s sold J some stuff in the past. I emailed him the list of stuff stolen with the serial numbers. Hopefully he can spread the word through many of the Vintage guitar resellers he knows. I wish there was more I could do……… :-
Here is a PDF document you can save and print

hopefully they get the stuff back, gotta be heartbreaking, all those guitars!!!
This is so bad, I hope they continue the tour and get the gear back. I posted the list of stuff on the SY forum but seen as I live in England there ain’t much I can do :-
great Anthony, If I could change anything I would put the number for the Police Department on there as well,
most pawn people will not call the artist or management in person because on the phone, they just don’t know who is who………….you know what I mean?………….is there a contact for the PD in Brooklyn?
If the stuff is found they will need to call the PD anyway to confirm this as a hit, unless they have computers, I’m sorry to say in Athens, our pawn system is still not on computer so it is PDF file print out and hand delivered and followed up with a phone call to confirm a hit, just like most of you can do, but NYC, I bet ya’ they are on top of the technology."jeremiah " wrote:I heard that Sonic Youth actually did get the gear stolen from them back recently so there is hope (I just hope it does not take that long)Lee got two of his guitars back….And they were pretty f¤#ked up.15 + guitars and gear vanished.

I don’t know which phone number…

That seems like nothing now compared to this and does anybody know if Lou has used that Rickenbacker since ’85. It would be a real shame if he has had it all these years and doesn’t get it back
I think the bass was in J’s possession this whole time.
There was also a Black Heavy Metal Warlock looking bass at the shows that was not played.the Rickenbacker is Lou’s. The "Warlock" bass was bought as a backup by J last fall. Not that it matters now, I guess.

Added the info to swervedriver, guitar world, Harmony Central & slap skateboard forums. Anyone hooked up with any guitar forums…please add the info, those guitars need to be found!!!
I read that Lou tried to sell the Rickenbacker and bass-amp after a Sebadoh show in NYC, back in 1990 or 1991. When I interviewed him last year he told me he gave it to a friend in NY and that he was really excited when he asked his friend to get it back for the reunion and how surprised he was to get that original gear back. Damn, I wish he’ll get it back this time !
