Re: CJ's Mosrite stolen
that does suck! CJ is one of the coolest guys anyone would ever want to met, and personally has been an idol of mine for a long time. I remember reading he said that this bass was his favorite too, better then his fenders he played with the ramones! 
I hope it turns up, and hopefully everyone on the forum will be looking for it. This kind of stuff happens far too often, and why i rarely used my own mosrites for shows. my old bass player lost his musicman and it took him 3 years to find it again, and when he got it back it was beaten up pretty bad. I helped restored it, but still the whole experience is just more terrible then I can describe on this forum.

On the bright side, CJ still has his Semie built bass, hope he gets this one back.

CJ sold that Mosrite that Semie built for him. He told me so himself in a letter. I posted that letter somewhere on this forum.
He also told me that he likes his Mosrite better than the Fenders as well. I hope to meet him in person one day. If he plays anywhere near FL, I will.

Re: CJ's Mosrite stolen
Here is the link to the post where I posted that letter from CJ.
I have a 11x17 poster from a show the Ramones did at the Cuban Club in Tampa in 1991. The date on the poster is in January, but the show was in April. It was postponed b/c a certain bass player quit & the Ramones had to get a replacement. I thought he'd like a copy, so I sent him a copy & he signed a copy of it & sent it back. He took the time to write a quick note & gave me a pick he used in Europe. A small but very cool gesture.
If we were able to find that guitar, it would really be cool. I know its a shot in the dark, but ya never know.
