    If anyone has been to Bizarre Guitar in Reno you'll have some idea of what my house is like.

    What rights do I Have?

    Incorrect: Nemo dat quod non habet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Link Removed The sale of stolen property, even in full compliance of state statute at time of sale, does not automaticlly transfer legal title of that property to the buyer. California law on the subject...

    What rights do I Have?

    Not where I worked for 15 years and retired from. The local LEA isn't a collection agency for individuals - the claim for the op's purchase money would be a civil case, not criminal.

    What rights do I Have?

    The bad news is the bass has to go back to the rightfull owner, and the good news is that you probably won't face any charges for possession of stolen property. You can never have legal title to stolen property - there are some real horror stories in the collector car hobby about valuable...

    BASS FIGHT! Gene Simmons vs. Nikki Sixx!

    I'll give Gene credit for admiting on Stern that he's a terrible bass player. Sixx. I saw Kiss the first time they played in San Francisco - opening act at Winterland for Savoy Brown (Headliner) and Manfred Mann. I didn't dig them then, and my opinion has never changed.

    should i refinish my '78 p?

    Correct. If the axe had even 10% of original finish remaining, I'd say leave it as is, but the strip job ended originality questions. Refinish the piece in whatever finish floats your boat.

    How to fire a guy who, without a doubt, will not take it well?

    I've found out that in today's world, legal CYA counts for more than any set of balls, brass or otherwise. If I read the op correctly, the odd man out here "owns" the band - better have everything lined up and documented if the other players want to walk off with the band's name and material...
