The bands gear was stolen last weekend in Chicago. Dave Weld lost his Blackknife Modulus Guitar that he’s had for more thatn 30 years, it’s been around the world with him. Brand new in the box Line 6 wireless unit for my guitar and a Sure wireless unit. Also a Valley Arts custom guitar, from the late Art Martinez which has a lot of sentimental value to me (His name is engraved on the back of the neck on a gold plate, cymbals, mics, mic cords, power cables and the list goes on….If anyone sees anything on the street, pawn shop or in the clubs please call the police or contact me at this site or email: dv_ weld@ yahoo.com. It’s time to fight against those who prey upon musicians. Things are really tuff on blues musicians, especially if this is all you do for a living. The guys and I don’t have a day job to fall back on, this is all we do….Below are pictures of both guitars. Please keep a look out for them..
