If you do want the cash back, though, there is a whistleblower statute for taxes -- if your info leads to a recovery, you get a share. No statute of limitations problem on outright fraud.

This happened along time ago It might not seem so but I
am past it.

I just read he was on the " PANEL OF EXPERTS"
In A town in march.

I think the question and answer would be quite fun
to ask some truth seeking questions...
See if he sticks around to answer them.

What would happen he would box everyone in the room ?

You all should be warned he is a golden gloves boxer
as well dale carnegie graduate.

so just sayin.

[Jana]

It would be fun to be a fly on the wall, why not go ask those questions?

Tip of the hat to you, sir. You are the new RantMeister. I am in awe.

[tele caster]

Those were some funny stories, I almost blew beer out of my nose when reading them.

[M Fowler]

Try send them to Guitar Player Gerald Weber "ask the expert" column he has every month.

He hasn't done those in years.

[mlp-mx6]

Have you read a Guitar Player lately?

[M Fowler]

Really one of the recent ones was about a guy complaining about wax on his Fender transformer. Oh and a Gibson GA5 a guy wanting to know if he can use a GZ34 in place of a 5Y3.

This has been a public service announcement brought to you by

KARMA and The council of skeletons in the closet.

Sometime your past can catch up with you and most of the time it's driving straight at you with it's foot all the way to the floor !!!!

Just ask Tiger LOL : ) except his past was in the form of a golf club.

D'oh.

The guitar shop above the Continental Club was called One World Music. I bought an Airline Town & Country from there a long time ago.
Funny stuff ToneSlinger...(well, in a black humor sort of way I guess).
I always thought Kendrick's operation was a little sketchy.

[CaseyJones]

I can see ToneSlinger doin' a set at the Continental. Like pre-electric Dylan, just TS, a Martin acoustic and that harmonica rig that allows you to play guitar and wheeze harp. It goes,

Hmm you mean the amp builder who has been building amps since the 60's ?

Thats funny I know for a fact he has not.
I worked there for 2 years in the early days.

Right before the IRS came into the shop
which was an ice cream truck factory
and asked him about the taxes he had not been paying.

Thus the name kendrick which is his wifes maiden name.
He uses that to hide.

I would not let that guy work on a transistor radio.
He burned me out of my last pay check for 500 dollars.

If you had any idea of the people he has taken for
many many dollars you would agree.

How about the trainwrecks he built ?

He took 100 grand of peoples money and had
hemroid surgery and bought hookers and blow.

You know when you screw people they never ever forget
Gerald webber.

He was selling meat and fish out of the trunk of a car
in houston texas before he became the amp builder from the
60s.

Biggest con man I have ever met.

(Takes a break to wheeze through his harmonica)

Chorus:

You know when you screw people they never forget
Gerald webber.

Biggest con man I have ever met
Gerald webber.

(Adjusts his hat. Digs back into his Martin)

Gerald if your on this page where is my 500 dollars ?
and i am not scared of your golden glove boxer threat either.

He was using that gag when i worked there
with chris ramey doing the covering.

Long long before will dyke went to work for him.

Will told me one day everyone including him
got up and quit.

They all quit him.
This was after I gave him the exact same advice
chris ramey gave me upon arriving there to
work.

watch your back.

I learned the hard way what that meant.

I sold about 40 grand in reverb units for him
while i was there and made the deliveries
to ups and was quality control.

When the clients in europe saw my name on the
tube configuration labels they bitched.

Gerald had a cow yelling this is my shop my shop
If anyone should get any credit for building anything here
it should be me.

Yea but Gerald you had sans moonlighting from TI
doing all your soldering so what was it you actually
did ?

oh yea con people out of money all day on the phone
and blow your nose right on the floor.

I sure could use my 500 dollars today.

Chorus:

You know when you screw people they never forget
Gerald webber.

Biggest con man I have ever met
Gerald webber.

(wheezes harp)

I sure could use my 500 dollars today

Too bad it went up your nose and to those hookers.
Did your wife come back ?

He told vintage magazine he had been building since the 60s
and if they would give him free advertising
he would write articles for them...

They bought that lie hook line and sinker.
Nice con artist there.

He would have me come in early to cut the creedence speaker name
off all the boxes so no one could find out where he was getting
the speakers.

When he owed them 100 grand they cut him off.
Those are your kendrick black frames..
He had gold label kendrick stickers made
to cover the creedence labels.

He asked that i come in at 6 am and wanted me there on time.
I said thats great ill make more money...

he burned me countless weeks on pay while having
easily 100 grand in cash on the desk.

But he only wanted postal money orders
for the reverb units.

why ?
no paper trail..
no taxes.

I cant even believe he is still in business much less
claiming he has been building amps since the 60s.

when he was a fish sales man and meat salesman.
come on gerald get real already.

I quit when my wife was pregnant with our child
he is 18 now.

Thanks gerald for taking good care of us
when we really really needed it.

Chorus and reprise:

You know when you screw people they never forget
Gerald webber.

Biggest con man I have ever met
Gerald webber.

He should share a cell with bernie madoff.

[Cliff Schecht]

Hey you leave Dylan out of this!

Seriously, great post
