Derek Trucks Band Equipment Stolen....
Emergency - Please Help
The Derek Trucks Band's equipment trailer was
stolen last night in Atlanta. I need to purchase
the following equipment ASAP. Anyone who is
willing to sell any of this gear, please call me
at 303-778-1156.

1964 through 1967 acceptable. Must have
original transformers; everything else will be
tweaked by me to Derek's spec. Speakers

as the cabinet and baffle board aren't busted,
I don't give a **** what it looks like.

have original trannies. Looks not important
Not looking for the oldest production with the

Jeeze, that sucks. I wonder what's harder to find, a mid sixties Super or a decent Clavinet... I'm guessing the Hohner...

I think so....

How about a couple Super Reverbs (black face) one with Webers and the other one with PILE DRIVERS!

The really sad part is this will all be fenced for a few vials of crack.
Don't ever leave anything in your car or truck you don't want to give away. Very sad.

I think the stuff will turn up. Especially with such a high profile player and all the serial numbers. Think about it. What would YOU do if you just got a deal on a sweet midas mixing console and the serial number was scratched off??? Shady.

Also the fact that many of these things are vintage means that the vintage dealers will be on the lookout. The amps may turn hands a few times but I'm confident they'll make their way back to him.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for any dirt cheap 74 svt's on the Bay

Are there bulletin boards like TalkBass for guitar? If so, all the BB's should link their stolen threads.
