Sting bass stolen last week, 51 P stolen a few years ago

Sign in to disble this ad
I figured that while I am posting about my Sting bass that got stolen last week, I would repost my previous loss of my USA Custom Guitars 51 P / Tele bass.

The Sting bass features:
  • chrome removed from all hardware
  • body refinished with nitrocellulose lacquer
  • bridge cover and holes where pickup cover was installed
  • neck is sanded down with vintge amber tint on the headstock
  • "Sting" inlay has been removed and my initials "SFB" painted on the 12th fret
  • Custom leather strap with initials "SFB" was in the Fender gig bag when the bass was stolen

Dallas PD found & returned my bass

Long story short is that the Dallas PD caught the guy, and he still had our stuff. Dude made a confesson, and told the cops where everything (bass and 2 fiddles, from the Dallas robbery) was.

I wish that the SAPD could have stumbled upon all the other stuff..

That's awesome! Hope the perp gets to room with Big Otis...I hear Big Otis is looking for a new wife!

Congrats on getting your bass back!
