January 2010
The BRMC band's personal storage locker was broken into and Michael Been's had his vintage equipment stolen. Items were 1954 Fender Esquire (Yellow with Black Pick Guard), 1968 Ampeg Scrolltop Fretless Bass, 1964 Black Fender Precision Bass and a 1968 Gretsch Country Gentleman Single Cutaway. Please repost this and help spread the word - these items were extremely personal and the BRMC band, Michael, crew and management are devastated over this brazen act. Thank you.
This news was initially reported at the BRMC website. You can contact me if you have any information and I will forward this along. Let us hope and pray that it is found and returned.
