Jim,
I had my 73 from new, was my first and only Ric till 1997. She was purchased new in Scotland in 1973 and I owned and played her till she was stolen at a show in late 96.

That's painful, man....wow....*knock on wood* I've never had one stolen....hope I never do.

I've had 2 stolen; one my first ever bass (1980 4001 jetglo) and the second a '91 fireglo V63 that never even made it to me.....I think both Jim Glen and myself hope you never have one stolen either, Jim. It hurts!

Shaun, if the v63 was firglo,chances are Jim stole it.

Ken - a firglo?! Never seen one of those!

Shaun - yes, I'm sure it does hurt, beyond losing the monetary investment in the instrument.....I NEVER want to join that club!

Unfortunate member #3... I lost my '94 4003 when some waste of humanity broke into my bedroom and stole NOTHING BUT... even with a rather expensive stereo system right next to it.

Bob - I'm really sorry...like I said, I hope it never happens to me.

Yeah... it sucked!

But thanks to the miracle of homeowner's insurance, I got my '81 4003!

Bob - I'm glad to hear that you were able to replace it, but the trauma of the break-in and theft had to shake you pretty badly....

Back when I was living in Baltimore, I had my old house broken into by a next door neighbor, and it freaked me out....she only stole some change that was on my roommate's bureau, but it was still a troubling violation....(the girl had, uh, problems, shall we say!)

Jeez, horror stories all. Hey, Jim! So THAT'S where my fireglo V63 went!!!! (Only joking,LOL!!!!!!) "It's worse than that, it's red Jim....."

ken_swearingen · Post by **ken_swearingen** » Sun Sep 18, 2005 9:18 am

And yes Jim,its a new color called firglo!

Firglo....gray?....brown?....tortoise shell?...or evergreen?!

Yup Shaun, she also stole your v63! (Good thing she didn't know or care about my two Rics at the time!)
