Guys. Please don't take my post as a negative against Jean. Far from it.

It just ironical

Rod...not at all. I'm just different in that I would chase a thief to Hell and stab him to death with Satan's pitchfork if it were my bass. ;)

I am doing what I can and getting some information verified. I would love to say, "Yes, I got it." Now what if we can't get ahold of JF? He might have given up hope...I don't know. IF by some miracle I can get the bass back, I have it arranged for pick up. Then what? You know what I'm saying. I want this dude to get his bass back, but if we can't get ahold of him....then what? I only have soo many resources and Canada is big yo! :eek:

NOTE - the above statement is a just in case. I have not gotten it as of now...still working on it.

I will have an answer one way or the other.

If he has the papers, that's proof.

We should be good to go.

Koogs - can you get in touch with him? Do you need to?

J-F, nice to see you finally !

Now it's time to go and pick up the bass.
The police won't help ? OK, take the bass by force (while having your invoice in pocket - and stolen instrument report receipt if you have one).
The pawn shop owner knows this is a stolen bass. He knows he is in a fraudulous situation. Would he be stupid enough to call the police if you take the bass by force ?

As far as I understood, several members here are ok for the travel to go and recover the bass. Great.

I just got off the phone with Jean. :D

We are working towards getting this back...however, he had another call and it might have been the police. So, keep the fingers crossed ladies and gents and throw some good karma his way. I will help in anyway possible as always. :cool:

Uh-Oh, Seller Ended Bidding Early

Hey, I remembered your post about your stolen bass, in the Vancouver area...
check this one out on e-bay: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Ernie-Ball-Music...oryZ4713QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (hope the link works...)

It's trans gold, it's in Vancouver, it's cheap, and it seems to be a pawn shop of
some sorts... I would definately check it out.

Good luck,
Benoit

"The seller ended this listing early to sell to the high bidder(s) at current bid price."

I fear there is not much more time before this bass is gone. :(

I don't think so. AFAIK, the pawn shop owner knows the bass is stolen, and he is warned about what he exposes himself to if he ever sells it.

Casse has a YUL air port sticker or something after the handle , the bass has a Steve's Music Sticker on it and a GakaR sticker on it ...

I would take it by force , but I'm back in laval ( montreal sub urb ) since march ... therefore police don't give a darn ....

The pic shows a Gakar sticker on back of the headstock, man.
IMO, the bass is worth the trip to Vancouver...

Salut JF!

Have you tried the RCMP? (just a thought...)
I'll PM you my phone number, if you want me to help.
