What I lost in the Thomas fire

[Oren Hudson]

Sorry for your loss, just heartbreaking, but pales in comparison to loss of life. So we're thankful for that.


I experienced a similar thing about 24 years ago. This was a house fire that started internally. I was out of town, but Donna and the two dogs literally had to jump out of a window to escape the fire that occurred early AM. Nothing was saved. I lost a mid 50's Epiphone electric, Marathon 1x15 Jenson amp, two TNR Kustom 2x15 cabs with matching head. Shure mics and atlas stands. Never quite recover from losing that stuff, but things move. Best wishes for you and your family.

Sorry to about your loss. For a lot of us, music is a way of life and culture. I'm happy you and your family made it out safe.

Glad your family and your 60 P are safe.

Best of luck rebuilding.

So sorry for your loss(es). Things can be replaced and you'll have full justification for your upcoming GAS.

Best of luck.

Oh my God! That is awful. I feel so sorry for you and your family right now.

I'm observing a moment of silence.

I saw this just before I went to sleep last night. I thought you lost everything. In addition to your family, you saved some choice gear too. That said, you still suffered a terrible loss and I hope you were insured.

I pray that the winds calm down in California.

 

[TrevorR]

Awful... to lose all those memories. But just glad you and the family are all OK!

 

[eyeballkid]

I hope you bounce back strong as ever.

Same sentiment here. A lot of nice gear gone, but the most important thing is the safety of you and your family. I can't even imagine losing everything I own. Good luck to you in this dificult time.

Thanks everyone. We’re all safe. We’re insured. Its just stuff, and I honestly did get the stuff I like the most. I found a cafe walter so I can practice for my upcoming gig.

There are plenty of people out there in a tough spot, we really are not. We’re very lucky. If anybody feels the urge to help, there are lots of groups working to help victims in need.

Some of the stuff that burned was really special so it makes me sad for the bass world. I wish I could have given that all away instead of having it dissapear.

 

[Mantis Tobaggan]

So sorry for your loss

 

[MonetBass]

Bummer. So sorry to hear this. Glad everyone is safe, though.

 

[Oddly]

Sorry for the material losses, but glad that you and your family got out ok.
Hopefully your insurer won't give you a hard time paying out.

Terribly, terribly sorry for your loss.... man, I don't know what's worse.. theft or fire.. the result is the same. The frustration is the same.. We all wish you a quick recovery.

Fire is worse because you might catch a thief!
