I Was Robbed. Gear Stolen. Please Be On The Lookout
My AMP was stolen :( So last night I parked in the lot near The Echo for 15 minutes to run and meet a friend. I came back to find my car unlocked and tossed. Instantly my heart starting racing because I knew my gear was in the trunk. Sure enough I popped the trunk to find my Amplifier - GONE. The dirty rotten thieves also stole about 40 bucks in cash and a vintage camera but miraculously missed my microkorg and boss pedal that were hidden under the passenger seat. Don't worry my car is fine, no broken windows. I could have SWORN I locked my car which leads me to believe the lock was jimmied. Total loss was about $600 worth of stuff. so friends I'm enlisting your help. If you see the following amp in any east side pawnshops or on craigslist or ebay PLEASE email me immediately at jax@rockinsider.com. It's a limited edition Ampeg anniversary series combo 115 amp with a silver vintage mesh cloth. View it online here. They were only manufactured in Europe so it is rare to find them out here in LA. The silver mesh cloth is the dead giveaway I had to drive to Ventura just to buy this one! The amp goes by the name "Samuel L. Ampeg" and has served me well for the last two years. As much as I hated lifting that thing I loved it and would love to have it back!! PRODUCT DETAILS Ampeg BA115 100-Watt 1x15 Anniversary Model Bass Combo Handsome retro-styling, legendary tone and design based on the models of the 50's and an affordable price tag have made this model very popular. Features like Line Out, CD Input and Headphone Out make the BA115 the perfect professional player's practice amp, but it's also suitable for smaller performances.

post a commentI don't get why gentrifying areas are so music gear crime ridden. I live at 36th street and Normandie and I've left a rather nice silvertone amp out on the street overnight and leave my car unlocked occasionally windows down (by accident) and nothing gets taken, ever. My bike was stolen though...
That friggin' sucks. I had a guitar taken from El Cid and one of the other bands saw it at a "friend's" house... so... you never know. Keep your ears to the ground and keep asking about it.

But the camera, what was the camera???
Dang, it seems like just yesterday that we were hauling Samuel into the HP music fest...or last week, I suppose...I am sad. *sniff*
