police squad

here's some photos

I had one of the lawsuit style basses. Used it in a Jam tribute. It was excellent. Looked great and sounded very good. Wish I hadn't sold it.

I don't know about the serial numbers but I've seen 2 of these and they weren't numbered. Either way I only paid just over £1500 so limited or not, it's still a good price. Used it last night and it does sound good. Totally different to my P basses but still loads of clout. Looks great too. Lots of sustain and a nice growl

yes, having a cuddle lol

well I've got it. It's lovely. Very well made and a good weight. Got a gig Sunday, so It'll get a proper thrashing then, in the meantime it's on the sofa next to me

not coming today, there was a mix up in the shop, but it should come tomorrow

I'm still waiting for the courier to turn up

ah, I saw your one for sale, sadly too late as it was sold. It comes today

[quote name='bassman344' timestamp='1397479564' post='2424264'] I had one of these and they are gorgeous. Body just too small for my liking but sound wise was incredible and the neck was lush. I owned number NB12345 [/quote] was yours the special edition? (great serial number BTW)

Thanks to good ole Mark at bass direct. All maple body and gloss white with chrome hardware. Very Synchronicity

can't beat that colour combo, but it's needs a black guard

quick update on the 12 step set up. Nice and light yes. easy to trigger whilst playing bass and singing, not really. I sometimes muck it up and it needs to be turned off and on because I end up changing the settings on the 12 step. I must be hitting the programme change bit, It's cos I have size 11 feet, in boots. how does it sound, well it'll rattle your internal organs!! I can't work out if I can store any presets. I don't think I can (not without a PC). So I manually change the minitaur on stage. I use 2 sounds with my Police tribute. I photographed the settings with my phone and dial them in at the sound check stage.

I have decided to insure, separately from my house insurance, some of my gigging gear as I know my house insurance won't cover it on gigs. Only the posh stuff needs doing. For instance, when I'm on a Police gig, I could have upto £5K in just bass guitars. Forget the PA or bass amps. I've got my non gigging guitars covered on my house policy. (PRS signature, Old SG jr, L/P jr, stuff like that that I don't gig with) I've had a quote from Allianz for about £400 per year, which includes European cover, (this is good as I have a Policed gig at the Matala Beach Festival in Crete) your thoughts please kind basschatters

here's my SB-R150. According to serial number, starts with 1, it must be 1981. I've read they were only made 83/84. Anyhow, plays itself.

nice

Still haven't tried any out yet but I did pick up a black rockinbetter, locally, for £250. I've got a genuine rick 4003 hi gain neck pickup to go in it. Gigged it once, (so far) with a Jam tribute band. 'Love the Rik' said one punter!! It sounded ok I thought. Looks great too. Plays as good as anything else. No sharp fret ends, decent action, no crackles from the electrics and strung with DR Neons 45-105 (white ones) I'd post a picture but can't seem to anymore. Something has changed and I can't work it out
