About

The Police equipment Wiki is an encyclopedia/archive dedicated to musical equipment and gear used by members of The Police both in the band and on their respective solo projects and tours over the years. Also documented is the equipment at recording studios they had used during particular periods.

A wide range of gear, as you'd imagine, will be covered in this wiki. From basses to guitar to amps, from tape machines to mixing consoles, outboard gear, from drums to percussion and so on. With this wiki we hope to present the information in a way that is as accurate and as detailed as possible. That includes documenting details such as any modifications or unique features, pickups, drum sizes and whatever. Much of the gear information is based on various magazine articles, interviews, videos and existing photos. Background information is also included for particular album and tour pages. Musical contributions to others' records are also to be included.

Unfortunately, any gear seen on TV appearances that doesn't belong to any member of the band is not of interest to this wiki and is therefore not covered. For the most part those would be considered as props.

This wiki is created purely for educational and documentational purposes as an information resource. It has no official affiliations with Sting, Andy Summers, Stewart Copeland or Henry Padovani and their respective managers/companies.
