police squad

Thanks for the info chaps. I know the Taurus 3 was limited run, I'd like to go Taurus 3 for ease of set up. I'm no tech head so need it simple. I'll check out the pk-5 route too

So I need a set of these for my Police tribute. Can anyone shed any light on them for me. any one got any for sale? thanks

bought my Steinberger XL-2 from Mark. Very helpful. Would love to visit but it's miles away

these are all top tips but here's mine..... make sure you've got a couple of spare beers lined in case they get knocked over (and if they don't you best drink them before they do)

I use a PF500 through mark bass cabs. The amp is great but the horn/tweeter on the cab is positively shocking, so I keep that turned off. I do get quite a lot of comments about how good my sound is. I use mark cabs because I bought a std 1x15 and a club 1x15 for £500 the pair and they're light. I don't spend too much time getting bogged down in it all, I just get on and play. Works for me

[quote name='rodacademy' timestamp='1377795415' post='2192014'] Is the Aria a 900? Love it! I had a red one and its still one of the best looking basses EVER! [/quote] Nope, it's an SB-R150. very rare and very nice

I had a Hamer Scarab for a while. Didn't really like it. And a hohner B2A and a status 4000 and several aria basses. (currently I've got an SB-R 150 and it's spectacular.) But it's got to be the Steinberger. I've an early XL-2 with the plug in leg rest. What an incredible sound, nothing like anything else. It's just a big fundamental note. No woody harmonics jumping out, just a big fat lowness. Here's the Aria and the XL-2

Saxon, what a great band

me, but I'm not that famous (as you may know SB-R150) The guy in the searchers played a fretless in the early 90s (although it may have been an RSB, it was blue and I played it once and it was fantastic) Kronos from Venom used an SB1000 Jim Rodford from the Kinks used one when I saw them a good few years ago

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
