Be on the lookout

For a '77 Mapleglo Rickerbacker 4001 and case - stolen in Talladega, Alabama in 1979 - last seen in the hands of a worker for a moving company contracted by the US Army. Case contained a microphone and had a custom sticker on it that said "Electronic Funk Specialist"

'76 Fender Jazz bass (blonde) and case - I suspect it was stolen for its neck by a rival bassist Samuel Trueheart, then a student at Talladega College in 1977.

'78 Fender Jazz neck (maple w/block pearl inlay) on a Fender Precision body (black) whose finish on the back and bout was rubbed down to the natural wood in places. This bass was stolen by a crackhead and was traced to a pawn shop in Marietta, GA but was sold before I could recover it in 2002.
