bouche Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I know alot of people here know their shit when it comes to equipment and how to find things on the internet so I mailed them for an actual email addy to send some tips to. I doubt anyone wants to phone Lord Valve with a suggestion...but an email might be more applicable. I also included this link for an amp on eBay.http://tinyurl.com/gt5g6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I think it's funny that a Southern Man has a Boulder County Phone.And, I think it's sad that they had all their gear stolen.I recall this happening to Robert Walther's and his 20th Congress a few years back and there were a few charitable concerts dedicated to his aid. All the best the the Allman Gene Pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 It happened to The Slip and they lost alot of vintage sound shaping equipment that was irreplacable from what I recall. I think they reshaped things and came out stronger. Anyone care to chime in on that lame claim of mine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I personally prefer there older sound and had imagined it going elsewhere if that's what you're getting at. But I'm not a seasoned Slip fan so, here's a grain of salt. Share it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyd Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Atlanta sucks, and I feel bed for Derek, kofi and all but I would bet its all insured. So a benefit show seems a little unnecessary. I just hope they can find some of the hard to replace items. lesson for all Musicians insure your valuable equipment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Oh, I'm not trying to put together a charity case. This kid is Allman Brothers Heritage. He's got money to keep on playing that guitar. Still sucks, but I thought it was a nice story how people 'pulled together' to help. Kind of like Bouche is doing trying to solicit Canadian equipment. It's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggrtrhhrtgg Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Thats Fuckin Low....Hope those Dirty Bastards get whats comin to themJust a personal observation: I realize that this board is frequented by many people who are involved in the music scene-- and I hope I don't sound ignorant or insensitive to your needs... Also, I guess I should consider the fact that this is "jambands.ca" (you freakin dummy--duh) however, I find that at times situations that involve musicians are put on some sort of heirachal petistal... For example, I would agree that it is a very unfortunate circumstance that this particular band lost its equipment--I do hope they recover it, or at the least have insurance and the ability to either find the equipment they have been using or at least something compatible... I have to admit though, this circumstance doesn't really affect me all that much... Don't get me wrong, I love the music, I consider this genre (if there really is such a thing) to be my choice in music, and I do support it on a regular basis.... However, I don't share the same sort of passion , or emotional attachment as others... (I do get extremely depressed by Buffalo Bill, Team Canada, Celtic--misfortune--which maybe reflects what I am thinking about here) I love to hear about shows, I find I have increased my musical knowledge two-maybe even three fold over the couple of years I have been here... I find that I am more interested in posts that involve the friends I have befriended, its an outlet to keep in touch with some mighty fine folk. I definitely have an interest in world politics.. But, I find there are very strong commitments to the music and bands here that I can't familiarize with at times.... anyways, this is by no means a slight towards anyone else here, I just felt like sharing my thoughts on the subject... Now back to the weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodRev Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 That's fucking awful. The monetary value aside, I know what it feels like as a musician to lose a piece of gear you love...and I'm not even a career musician here, and I'm talking about two guitars that were stolen from me. This is literally the band's ENTIRE arsenal, minus guitars (it appears). Those blackface Super Reverbs with original transformers are gonna be difficult to replace...I'm sure they'll find something with their combination of fame (as it were) and connections. Fuckin bummer though, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Duece, NumeroDos, what's-your-face, whatever; I too am lost at your point. I think the people who showed sympathy here are mostly musicians or people involved in the music industry as it were. Since this is a music forum, this all makes perfect sense to me. I sort of get your point in the proverbial sense, as yes, children are still starving in Africa and America is still making an ass of humanity. But this forum and this thread seem to fit like pees in a pod to me. Just my 2 cents, if you don't hate me yet, jump on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggrtrhhrtgg Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 once again, I wasn't taking a stab at anyone here Esau, I obviously was interested in the post or I wouldn't have checked it out... I guess I can't help but be ignorant, since I have no clue how difficult it is to replace this type of equipment, or the significance to their music this particular type of equipment has... I think I was just thinking aloud, and just sharing an observation that I can't relate to other members enthusiasm or passion for the music scene...

YearsAlongTheSea Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Maybe if you took your eye-patch off, you'd have a little more insight?I think I get what your saying and it kind of makes sense and kind of doesn't but I don't have time to make sense of it so.....Discuss....I'll check in later for the outcome.

Jaimoe Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I remember catching Frank Black at the Horseshoe 4 years ago, the day after he had all of his gear stolen, including his famous Telecaster. Steve's Music gave Frank amps and guitars to play for his 5 day run at The 'shoe.This really sucks for Derek and his band. I hope they catch and kill the people responsible.

Esau Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 once again, I wasn't taking a stab at anyone here Esau, um..ok, strangely enough, I read that the first time. No need to repeat yourself. I was lost on wtf you were talking about, so I asked. Nothing more. Although, my interest in what you were talking about has now worn off, seeing the direction anymore inquiry will probally take this (as per usual with you), I'll cease and simply not care.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I find that in these particular situations, musicians and computer geeks can offer alot with their connections to music equipment and abilities to find equipment on the internet.Like I posted, I found an amp that fit their description on eBay for $2000 and emailed it off. I'm just hoping others might do the same. When someone is looking for a particular piece of vintage equipment, nothing works better than word of mouth, and the internet is the biggest mouth out there. Esau extended the mailing list call out by posting it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
