Steve Browning Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Band of Friends features my chum Brendan O'Neill and Rory's old bass player Gerry McAvoy. Unlikely to pop up in the UK but please keep an eye out nevertheless. 8 Quote
spongebob Posted April 2 Posted April 2 Sad news. Wonder if that Stingray was Gerry’s backup? I know from interviews he used a MM for his years with NBZ, then reverted to a P with the BoF for historical accuracy. Either way, horrible for the whole band. Hope karma catches up with thieving bar stewards. 🤬 1 Quote

When I lent Gerry my GK bass rig last year he was using a Precision ( below ) so am guessing the Stingray was a backup as you say. Just hope they manage to get the stuff back, some tasty gear there which should hopefully be easily recognisable. Quote
Steve Browning Posted April 2 Author Posted April 2 I've asked Maggie (Brendan's wife) for any serial numbers. 1 Quote
SICbass Posted Thursday at 16:39 Posted Thursday at 16:39 (edited) Bar stewards! I‘m on a number of secondhand instruments FB pages in Germany. I‘ll keep my eyes peeled. Do you happen to know what part of Germany they were in? Edited Thursday at 16:40 by SICbass Quote
Steve Browning Posted Thursday at 16:54 Author Posted Thursday at 16:54 Yes. It was in Bremen. Thank you for your assistance. Quote
Hellzero Posted Thursday at 16:55 Posted Thursday at 16:55 I check almost everything bass related each and every day all over Europe, so I'll keep my eyes wide opened too. Quote
Hellzero Posted Thursday at 16:56 Posted Thursday at 16:56 That said photos and serial numbers would help a lot... Quote
Steve Browning Posted Thursday at 22:32 Author Posted Thursday at 22:32 Yes. I've asked for serial numbers. Quote
Steve Browning Posted Saturday at 19:28 Author Posted Saturday at 19:28 https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1YHJjcnrcU/ A list of the gear and serial numbers etc Quote
Bilbo Posted Saturday at 21:15 Posted Saturday at 21:15 Bummer. I have played with Brendan several times and recorded an album with him a couple of years ago. It's a hateful thing to steal musical instruments. They are such a personal thing. Quote
