Skout Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Hey Everyone. I was looking through a past issue of Bass Player Magazine (January '03, I believe), and noticed a little snippet about Victor Bailey's own personal Signature Fender being stolen. Was the bass ever recovered? Was the culprit ever found? Skout Words of Inspiration: Not everyone needs to be Jaco.

Tom Capasso Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I can't say for sure, but I never heard anything else about it. My guess is that it was not recovered. What a shame...

Brooklyn Gear Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 I reached out to Victor Bailey last night and he confirms that his Bass is still stolen. It may still be floating around Houston..... Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Of course, it's even more of a shame when my bass is stolen and not recovered, because I can't afford to replace it as easily as Victor Bailey can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Watts Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 i wonder if the person that stole just stole it cause he saw a nice lookin' bass... or he solo it cause he knew it was Vic's Pain teaches what pride won't let you learn...

doc taz Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Vic still has his original work horse, doesn't he? I'd hate to lose that one. I mean, the well traveled and used Jazz with the stripped look to it. sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After changing hands a couple times, once to the tune of $119 from a pawn shop, Victor has it back. - Matt W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLoy Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 So you won't play in public with anything but the cheapest thing you own for fear of it being stolen? Wouldn't you want to put your best foot forward? If you're worried about your instrument getting stolen, get it insured so you will be covered if it's lost. Go visit the websites of Music Pro Insurance or Clarion Musical Instrument Insurance and get your gear covered. The company will pay you the replacement cost if the instrument is stolen, and they may even be able to help you get it back. My insurance on all my gear costs me around $100 a year. It's worth it.
