BassInMyFace Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hi folks. Had my van stolen with my NS EUB in the back. Happened yesterday morning in Birmingham. The bass has non-stock black strings (jazzicato) on 4 of 5 strings (EADG). Seeing as it's quite a niche instrument I hope there's a chance it comes up for sale somewhere. if you could keep an eye out I would be super grateful. Bass was in full size flight case. (Also Moog sub 25 stolen with sansamp programmable bass DI). I'm pretty devastated and summer of gigs is fast approaching........ 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Do you think the thieves were after the van or your gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUBs are an incredibly niche thing to sell, so if we can amplify this through the community it’s important to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Ah, so sorry to hear this @BassInMyFace Best of luck with getting your gear back. As you say, that NS EUB is a very niche instrument - hopefully it will turn up undamaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though its nothing special, apparently older transits are super easy to nick. I was stupid enough to leave my gear in the van simply because we got home late and couldn't be bothered to unload. That's an expensive penalty for being lazy :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is that they won't even know what it is to try and sell it. Could be mislabelled on a classified and i won't have any chance of seeing it. If you folks here keep it in the back of your mind, maybe we can catch where they try and flog it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I check the local classifieds down ere in the West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downunderwonder Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Farcebook is the goto place to fence stolen goods in fine plain sight. They may also be dumb enough to try pawning it. Having a police report is part of laying claim to it isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 If they were a little bit clever they could list just the Sansamp and offer the exotic stuff cheap to the buyer out of the back of the van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkie635 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Just wondering if you ever got any more info on this one, or found the missing bass? I certainly hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus27 Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Do you have the serial number for the EUB? If any pop up for sale, then you can cross reference the serial no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Make sure you tell all the Cash Converter type places - once they have knowledge of it (Photos / serial numbers etc) if they accept it knowing it is stolen property it's far easier to do something with them. Easy to say after the event - but get some insurance. It's not expensive. I pay about £130 a year for a stupid amount of gear including theft from cars and venues etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's just say in a lock up gathering dust That is sooooooo annoying and frustrating. Still, any circulation of your thread here has to keep the troops aware, and hopefully, looking on your behalf. One again, very best of luck. I really do hope you get back your instrument. 🥺 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
