Stolen Bass Alert

South Florida bassist Rafael Valencia had his Fodera bass stolen 7-5-18. It's a five string monarch, chest burl top. JJ pickups. Bass is from the early 90’s. Please keep your eyes open because there's a good chance this bass could show up at a pawn shop or a music store.

I can only imagine how this feels.

Ouch! I don't know much about Fodera's stuff. Does it have a serial number that can be shared with everyone?
Good question, but I don't have the answer. I'm just reposting what I saw this morning on Facebook. I don't personally know the victim, but he's a fellow South Florida bass player, so I'm trying to help out.

The bass looks pretty distinctive. If I saw something like that in a pawn shop, it would stand out like a sore thumb.
