ash Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 It looks like the all carbon graphite stealth to me, an interesting one this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141058611932?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBus Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Yeh, it's a Stealth II. Seems a shame for the seller. Going to go for a song just because he can't be bothered putting a new tuner on it and a new set of strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-Bass-M Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I saw this as soon as it came up for auction, the starting price was £0.99 As Bassbus said, if you'd have fixed the tuner and added another string, this would have gotten you another £500, I reckon. But yes, looks like some sort of pawn broker / debt collector, so unlikely to know what they're missing out on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamdenRob Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Managed to get in touch with the seller - forwarded the crime reference number and the officer dealing with the case so hopefully they can sort something out between them. Its a real long shot as this happened six and a half years ago but who knows... Need to get in touch with some old buddies and get hold of some photos of me and the bass.

Si600 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Could be worse, if it was being sold by MDP the bridge would be a mess as well! Hope you sort the ownership out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was watching the auction... [/quote] It's with the police now they are chasing it up with all parties involved. I'm not holding out too much hope to be honest Its going to be very difficult to prove it was mine as the shop I bought it from is long gone...as is the receipt... I have managed to get into contact with an old friend who took some photos one rehearsal we did years back and apperantely she still has them on her computer so hopefully I'll get something through today. At least I will have some photos of me with a Stealth II 5 string, the problem I fear will be proving that that exact one was mine. The real clincher will be if I can find the missing tuner and winding mechanism....now where on earth would I have put that. A quick thumbs up for the police though. Even though this was years ago I was treated very professionally when I rang up and the various departments phoned me back when they said they would... very positive.

The worse thing about these photos is that the bass looks the same but I'm much younger, thinner and with considerably more hair.... Its proving that that is me that might be the problem...

I'm not holding out too much hope of getting it back but thought I might as well try anyway. I've given the police the details of everyone involved and the ebay seller has not dispatched the bass and is holding on to it whilst they go through their records to find out who sold it to them. They appear to be a kind of pawn shop and they have said they've had it years so if the name they have matches the name I have given the police I guess they will try and track him down. I have managed to source a replacement tuner from Status if I do manage to get it back. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
