Over the weekend, thieves broke into the NoDa studio where Joe Kuhlmann records many of the local bands around town. Sadly, they stole a number of items, among them:
1. 1965 Hofner Violin Bass w/ original case and strap. Just like Paul’s just a right handed one. 🙁
2. 1995 Fender Jazz Bass Black w/ white pickguard Bartolini p/u w/ Aguilar Pre & BADASS II Bridge. Yes she was a Frankenstien Bass.
3. 1992 Gibson Nighthawk. Honeyburst electric, looks kinda like a small Les Paul, with Strat pickups.
4. Fender Tele 72 reissue Brown w/ double humbuckers
5. Epiphone Firebird Elec w/ Triple p/u in case
6. Ibanez Talman Semi-Hollow electric dual humbuckers silver
7. Jerry Jones Short Horn 2 Black w/ White Pickguard 3 Lipstick p/u Like Jimmy Page’s
8. Roland JC 120 Head
9. Fender 1973 Champ guitar amp
10. 2 Flat Panel Computer Monitors
Keep your eyes out for them in pawn shops, etc.
Also, on Jan. 1 at the Evening Muse, a benefit show is being planned by Triple S Promotions and MaxxMusic to help Joe get some equipment back so that he can return to his recording ways.
You can also make donations here.
UPDATE: Just spoke with Joe Kuhlmann who said that arrests have been made and a couple of items have been recovered, but it’s “only a drop in the bucket” so far.

My name is Brad and I work at Sam Ash music on Tyvola. I have copied the list of missing gear, and am posting it at terminals, and the door. I am sorry someone got you, like they got me months ago.
