police squad

my 73 P bass. I bought it in 1990 for Denmark Street (Rokas I think) Had it set up and played it on thousnads of gigs over the years. Still got it 33 years on I never tire of posting a few pictures of it

it is mad. I have bought a new mustang JMJ and thought £1099 for a mexican bass was ridiculous. But I used 9 months interest free credit so it didnt eat all my capital in the bank. I bought my Brian May guitar the same way. Luckily I have no serious gas these days (not for basses anyway. I have exactly what I need now and what I like) There's a hot pink Brian May coming out soon though. Even they are pushing 900 quid now

Good luck to Marshall. That's what I think. I have a late 70s 50 watt master volume head, signed by Jim. It cost me 250 quid 20 years ago. I no longer use it because my former bandmate designed and built me some amps that sounded similar but had more modern features. Marshall stacks still look cool to me

nice chunky neck on these. It's the only bass I've played that has the same neck profile as my '73 precision Good choice Lozz

I bought this just over 10 years ago, took it to one gig and didn't bother playing it as it was too much hassle It was a nicely made instrument, a bit heavy but I was younger and could handle it. It's Dean of some description

yep back pain is a problem these days. I think you're acceptance of using something lighter (and shorter in this case) is the key. You'll love the JMJ. I did just this a couple of years ago. I have shoulder problems too, and with my shoulders not so open, it hurts a lot less on gigs. I still love my P basses but for a long gig, Mustang. Short and light I take it you bought a black one

i used a stereo jack to jack at first but it did fall out a few times. So I looped it through my belt. Now I use a stereo jack to XLR that was made by @Chienmortbb

ah, very nice, wasnt sure. I should have asked him but we left before the end

And is it's player part of the BC community and yes, it's very good for metal Cherry Bomb the are called

Just so you don't forget some of the other colours The blue one belongs to my wife

my 80s duo is called, Miami Vice my 80s band..............Miami Vice Reloaded blues rock band, plays once a year....The Tony Johnson Band and it would appear The Policed

It's a lot better this morning. 2 gigs (sitting for some of them) and some ibuprofen and I seem fairly ok sat here, just got out of bed, no tablets and not too bad. Hopefully I've turned the corner now

I'll try that too

shouldn't be too bad, but I wont know till I try it on a gig. bad back atm though, so it coudnt happen right now. That natural one looks nice though

that's the plan, yes

I've got a set of Johnny brook nickel rounds on an old bass collection £6.99 delivered they seem fine so far

lol, I've decided a new approach. No more trying to jump up and down, or matching basses with outfits. Just the songs and maybe a few other covers in the set I trust you're well mate

Having decided to retire from being 'Sting' in any tributes, I sold my 'Police' basses to stop me doing it again But you know what it's like. I had dinner with my last 'Andy Summers' (we're very good friends) the other evening and we decided to do a few gigs again. I'm not prepared to spend the thousands that I did previously but if they're any good, I would consider a s/h classic vibe Thoughts please lovely people

just being able to walk my dog atm, is an achievement

indeed.
