currently the bass is in the shop being repaired and the performing arts center is paying for it.
thanks for asking
Any good teachers/gigs/jam sessions in the Hershey/Harrisburg area over the summer? I'll be playing at Hershey Park.

As for Glover and McCloud:
No class. No class at all.

Was your bass properly repaired?
Who paid?
Any loss in value?
Did you ever hear from or about Savion Glover?
What about the bassist that trashed your bass, Andy McCloud?

I've never rented my bass out, but I did loan it to Jim Ferguson for a couple of performances and a recording session. Basically he picked it up one Saturday night after I finished a gig and I met him in Grand Central Tuesday afternoon to get it back. I don't think I'd loan my bass to somebody I didn't know unless I was in the same room.
There's a funny junkie story that Leroy Williams tells about getting "hired" by somebody to keep an eye on his drum kit (which he leaves in the club) because Philly Joe is subbing for him for a week. First night, Leroy stays all night. Second night, third night.4th night Leroy has to leave early cause there's a gig or somebody he wants to go hear or something. Anyway, when he comes into the gig the next night, sure enough Philly Joe is sitting behind a kit that has brand new old raggedy ass cymbals and snare. Cause he had hocked the other ones...

Jimmy Dorsey was so shocked by the piece of $hit that Bird was playing that he gave him his Selmer outright. Next night, Bird is still playing the original horn, having sold Dorsey's Selmer.

What's the difference between an alcoholic and a junkie?
They'll both steal your wallet, but the junkie will help you look for it.

My bass was repaired and the arts center payed for it. They said they also sent a message to savion without a response.
My bass sounds and looks really great. My Luthier did a great job on the repairs. Thanks for the posts guys.

did you have them sign something saying that they are liable for all damages????
