warwickhunt Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 As much info as possible on the gear could potentially help, as those Tech cabs aren't common. Old or new style, do you have pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBassMonsta Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Very sorry to hear the news. Hopefully your gear will turn up. I've now taken out a policy with MusicGuard as I had no insurance either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bald Eagle Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I sympathize with you dude, not much help I know but could have been worse the van could have been nicked or torched or both as well and at least your'e ok if a lot pi$$ed at the moment.

d-basser Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Thats crap man, seriously balls, it is that kinda stunt that gives Glasgow such a bad name, that and the stabbing. I will keep an eye out next I am in Glas, see if the appear in a pawn shop or second hand. Even worse though they may end up bodged into a ned car pumping out dance music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-bitch Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Now, I'm going to sound like an utter tosser here but seriously, any van that isn't empty should never be left alone - I remember reading about a band a few years back who were touring and had their van stolen at a service station; my first thought was 'WTF were they doing not leaving someone with the van?'. Cars is risky but if it's out of site then it's not an automatic 'go to' vehicle for contents thieves. Also, forget Musicguard - they're a friggin' rip off and you'll only get shafted on the small print after they tell you over the phone that everythings fine. Just find a home insurance policy that covers high value items and who will provide 'off the premises' cover as it is likely to be one hell of a lot cheaper than Musicguard. It does mean phoning up and speaking to a few insurance providers though; I understand that M&S are supposed to be pretty good in this regard. Read every last bit of small print. Twice. Just the lessons I learned after having c.£16k worth of gear ripped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdwardHimself Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) ^haha yeah when i'm older i'm gonna have 2 home insurance policies! I've always had that idea even b4 reading this tho, it would be a gr8 thing to tell all ur mates: "I have so many musical instruments i had to get 2 home insurance policies out " It'll be 3 if i buy a grand piano aswell!
