Pete Sears' "Dragon" Saga Continues - Story in The Rock Hall Of Fame Blog

Last week, Greg Harris, President and CEO of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, was in upstate New York where he met up with Tom Lieber at his workshop (http://www.lieberguitars.com/).

Followers of the incredible Pete Sears' "Dragon Saga" will recall that Tom Lieber was the luthier who had apprenticed with Doug Irwin and worked on the creation of Pete Sears' "Dragon" bass. It was Tom's post to a Grateful Dead forum asking whether anybody knew of the bass' whereabouts after it had been stolen during a stadium riot, that was instrumental in the return of "Dragon" to Pete 35 years later.

Since "Dragon's" miraculous return, Pete has been playing it at live gigs with Moonalice, but now it's back in the capable hands of Tom Lieber, who is working on some of the bass' electronics. Expect to see it back on the road soon!!!

The photo shows a detail shot of "Dragon's" silver inlay that's now a golden hue, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum president and CEO Greg Harris at Tom Lieber's workshop with Pete's custom bass.
