About this guitar, CJ writes: "On February 18, 2010, I did a show in Tokyo, Japan, with my band. After the show was over, I was informed that my Mosrite CJ Ramone Model Prototype Bass #CJ000 was stolen from the venue. Having more shows to complete, we needed to arrange a bass for me to use for the rest of the tour.
The following day, we went to the Fillmore/Mosrite Guitar shop. Mr. Yusa worked as a Master Guitar builder for Semie Mosley at Mosrite Guitars and is the owner of Fillmore/Mosrite Guitars. The local newspapers had covered the story of the bass being stolen the night before.
Mr. Yusa presented me with a Mosrite Silver Sparkle Deluxe Bass to replace the stolen prototype so the tour could continue. I was also presented with this White Mark II Deluxe Model Guitar Serial #BD 019. This guitar has been in my collection since and has been used on the Mosrite Rebirth CD, Reconquista and Last Chance to Dance."
