Re: STOLEN: Ric 4003 JG Lefty
Had my Rick stolen and recovered by police within one day using info I acquired through a series of phone calls.
Turned out a 'friend' of mine was involved.
That was in 1979,....still got it.

Hey, Bryce -
What's the name of the band? I always love hearing new music, especially when someone in the band plays a Ric.

amazing it was recovered that quickly - good thing too as they leave on tour in a week or so.NFB-418 wrote:Hey, Bryce -

the band is called Manchild - just recording for the first time now. they'll be opening of another band from Calgary, Women:

it is a pretty tight/incestuous scene in Calgary. sort of a 6-degree situation (if that), both these bands were spawned from members of a band previous.

Great news and ... there's theft going on in Canada? 

I'm no fan of thieves at all. However, I challenge anyone to beat the tar out of me. It's just not possible.cassius987 wrote:Great, now bribe the cops so you can beat the tar out of him/her for five minutes...brycycle wrote:RECOVERED!

I'm not a big fan of thieves.
Re: STOLEN: Ric 4003 JG Lefty
Glad there was a happy ending!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

If anyone beat the tar out of you, you'd be only "r."

Congrats, Bryce, on the recovery of the bass!

Re: STOLEN: Ric 4003 JG Lefty
It takes a heartless criminal to steal a musical instrument. One has to also be a fool to try and make off with a Rickenbacker. It's just too airtight a community, thanks to this forum and the company website.
Re: STOLEN: Ric 4003 JG Lefty
Wow, I'm impressed. Thiefs are cowards and in this case stupid. To get that instrument back is amazing. This forum has more benefits the more I read.
