I think it was what are known as a 'working men's club' over here in the UK that had him worried about it being stolen - to be honest I think he thought anything he had might have gone from one club he played but he was just more frightened about losing something so valuable 
I'm searching for a 2008-2009 LM5 Does anyone know of any for sale?
where did Mitch's rootbeer bass wind up?

Hmmm...I just grabbed Mitch's sunburst KBP 5, not sure about the RB, though.
The KPB is just...wow. It is a beast. Light as a feather, too.

I got it from Kirk.
IIRC; last bass built in NYC; last of his old paint guys "genuine inca silver from old fender stock."

2 Mitch's here

haha indeed....that bass is incredible. On one hand I regret getting rid of it but then I remember what I got for it and the anxiety passes

It was pretty "vintage" when I got it.
Kirk ummm....he's rougher on stuff than me.
Pre-relic'd ;D

Your vids sounded great with it. I had it for 2 weeks approx. and had to actually get used to how huge is sounded.
My KBP5 spec for sometime in the future:
-Northern ash
-Maple 1 piece neck
-Natural/black guard/black dots
-Tom Barney
Should make for a punchy bass with a clear B.

Giving up some killer basses eh? Cant say I've never done that before myself....
Kirk, I hope one day to be blessed with one of your relic'd gems...
Talk about coincidence Mitch, the TB natural/blocks LM5 in the right bottom of the pick Kirk posted should be here within a week or so ( trying it to compare with my Rootbeer regular LM).
I should be all TB now.
