Band of Friends gear stolen in Germany

[Steve Browning]

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.

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. 🤬

What a bummer.

 

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.

I've asked Maggie (Brendan's wife) for any serial numbers.

Thank goodness they didn't get Gerry's precision.

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?

Yes. It was in Bremen.

 

Thank you for your assistance.

I check almost everything bass related each and every day all over Europe, so I'll keep my eyes wide opened too.

That said photos and serial numbers would help a lot...

[Steve Browning]

Yes. I've asked for serial numbers.

A list of the gear and serial numbers etc

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.
