Local Band’s Van and Gear Stolen

Local band Lucius let us know that their van, which was filled with equipment, was stolen from East 17th Street and Ditmas Ave this past Thursday morning. It’s the champagne/tan color 2009 Ford E350 Econoline 12-passenger van pictured above, but it now has the New York license plates FYW-3876–though they just put in those new plates about a week ago, and the Texas plates BL7-Y292 were still in the van, so those could have been swapped out.

If you have any information about the van or the things inside, please contact Officer Campbell at the 70th Precinct at 718-851-5532.

“This is a list of some of the gear that was inside, any posting or help spreading the word would be extremely helpful and much appreciated,” says Jess of Lucius. “This is our livelihood.”

-Ludwig vistalite drum kit in tequila sunrise
-electric guitar “Fender Big Apple Strat” made in Corona, California in 1999
-traynor YCV80 amp (which has a broken Reverb tank, so the reverb doesn’t work!)
-cymbal bag with 4 cymbals inside (zyldjians and others)
-Epiphone Sheraton II (with no truss rod cover) there was a factory blemish, and therefore it has the distinctive “2nd” engraved on the headstock. It has a serial number 0907212062
-black korg MS1 microsampler
-red korg SV1 keyboard
-tons of drum hardware in a black beaten up suitcase
-tons of percussion (shakers, maracas, claves, tamborines, wood blocks…)
-2 keyboard stands with tape on them (one spells out HP, the other is just a neon orange band of tape)
-tons of pedals (electro harmonix holy grail plus, digiverb, Dunlop original crybaby wah (which has a -blue LED on it, which no other crybaby has.), Digitech whammy IV, Dunlop Univibe, Boss TU 3 tuner (x2), Boss DD20 giga delay, MXR carbon copy delay (x2), Fulltone OCD, Fulltone Full drive 2, Electro Harmonix Holy grail plus, Electroharminix switchblade, POG (x2), red fulltone boost pedal.)
