TheGreek Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 They're probably less common in Sweden so hopefully easier to identify...hope you get them back.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] We have quite a lot of vintage Fenders in Sweden.... If you take a closer look at the specs/pictures they are easily enough identifyable. They might turn up in the UK... please share!

discreet Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 That's really terrible. Bastards. Sorry to hear about this. I hope you get them back somehow. http://www.bassic.ch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinH Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hi GNU, I know your pain, mate. After 24 years(!), I got back a bass nicked from my car in '91. The scumbags will only want to flog it on, and either have or are lying low for a bit. Circulate the serial numbers! (I'm assuming you'd made a note of them...?)
