police squad

does it have the original electrics. I ask this as I had one before that had it's electronics changed by Peter Cook. (he looked after the Who's guitars) I've always wanted to get it back!!

[quote name='adamlunt' timestamp='1376924678' post='2180949'] Reported too... its cool that PS sees the funny side of it all. [/quote] I just hope no one gets ripped off

lol. I feel 'violated' some how

oh hang on a minute, I'll just pop upstairs and have a look!!

I've asked if I can come and view it before bidding

has anybody 'asked him any questions' about it. I don't know if I should. maybe i will

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1376916577' post='2180751'] I just reported it too, some other poor bastards are going to get ripped for the other items but as we have no proof on them I'm not getting involved, unlikely that he has any of them really! [/quote] agreed.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1376912786' post='2180655'] I hope you lot are going to chip in if I win it!? [/quote] Can I use it Sunday if you win it

nice one everybody.

I actually found this via BC in the ebay weird and wonderful section (which I don't often look at) I was going to use this bass on bank holiday weekend sunday, what will i use if he sells it!!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1376905618' post='2180493'] It gets worse,I just tried to put a million pound bid on it for you to make sure he can't get a sale, it won't let me bid as it says the Sellers account is related to mine! Trust me it ain't me [/quote] nice one

cheers for that

There's a bass for sale on ebay that is mine, only I'm not selling it. He's lfted the pictures that I posted on BC.

Scum bag. That's my SBR-150 and those are my photographs that I posted on this site. I've reported it to ebay. Those pictures have been lifted from here.

Here's a gratuitous picture of me SBR-150. A really good bass

[quote name='mart' timestamp='1376293449' post='2171677'] Btw, it's a bit off-topic, but does anyone have a precision fretless with a decal saying "Imprecision bass"? I think if I ever had a p-shaped fretless, I'd need a decal like that. [/quote] Very good. There's plenty of decal makers that could make you one

Nice, here's a picture of mine. It's a Japan only model

ah ok, it's just that when I used to frequent the Gibson les paul forum I noticed a similar signature and the chap was in the next village to me.

Hey Jus, where abouts in south east england are you? any where near Dover?

[quote name='BassBod' timestamp='1375960054' post='2167861'] Your Pbass looks fantastic - whats the weight like? [/quote] I don't know what it weighs but it's very light. John is a massive Police/Sting fan and copied Sting's number one bass for me (as far as the pictures will allow). I've even got the same seymour duncan custom shop p/up as Sting uses.

[quote name='dlloyd' timestamp='1375960051' post='2167860'] Not as such, but everything else being equal, a higher tension string will "travel" less and theoretically should buzz less. Although I wonder if you've just added extra relief by increasing the amount of pull on the neck. [/quote] relief is fine. As I said, it was set up by my local tech. He said everything was perfect. It must be the tension thing which reminds me, how do they increase the tension in strings without changing the gauge?

I would have gone to flats but there's no need now

[quote name='Junkyard Rocket' timestamp='1375945320' post='2167632'] I had something similar when I first bought my CIJ mustang when they could be picked up for £300 secondhand. As soon as I got it home I took off the roundwounds & put on a set of thomastik JF-324 flats, which are just as light & floppy as my favourite long scale 344s. I did as a good a setup as I could, but there was awful fret buzz around 7-9th frets which made the bass fairly unplayable. It seemed that this was due to the lighter strings being unable to pull any relief into the neck. I took it to the Gallery & the diagnosis was that the frets needed to be levelled. A fews days later I picked it up and it was perfect - no buzz or choked notes at all. The frets were leveled, crowned & the edges smoothed, and surprisingly there was now the ideal amount of relief in the neck. [/quote] I had the frets levelled etc and bearing in mind the bass is almost new, it still rattled. Maybe the strings were lower tension or possibly just knackered, who knows but it's lovely now
