  1. The full story appears to read that Sting has kept the original bass he has been using on the tour and a replica was built for the auction. Wonder if he even touched it 🤔
  2. Just a pity they dont use the teacup controls on the modern budget Hofners.
  3. Interesting news... Looks like it was sold at a charity auction for 60,000 euros 😮
  4. What is going on with the routing for the pickup?
  5. Found a recent clip where the hipshot is in use on 'If I Ever Lose My Faith". Pretty much sings all his songs now not in the original key. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8Oa8oWt9j6/?igsh=aWxpcmxheDU4a2Rh
  6. Wonder which tracks he uses the Hipshot for?
  7. It defo says Fender on the headstock. Has to be a Customshop bass. Maybe someone will do an article on it as the bass gets more coverage.
  8. It looks great, GLWTS
  9. Some more recent pics
  10. Anyone know what this is? I wondered if it was a D-tuner.
  11. Blimey! 😮
  12. Cool, stick up a review here 😎
  13. I'm liking the look of this Mustang-style shortscale. Anyone got one/ played one? https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_mv_4msb_lh_black.htm
  14. As an occasional player on DB (some studio work) and therefore a newbie, I've been a bit gobsmacked when sourcing a new set of strings. I notice Corelli are almost half the price of Spirocore for example. Any players on here that can shed some knowledge from their time using these strings? 🤔
  15. I play lefty instruments strung righty or righty instruments upside down. Seems normal to me 🤪
  16. Warwick Thumb BO4 (2000) Has neck damage. Worth a punt? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176371984717?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2VQ2Q47xSV2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=htqb-a2hQ7e&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  17. 1979 Kramer DMZ4001. Never seen one before. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145737467446?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=k5dOeruMRz2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=htqb-a2hQ7e&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  18. I owned a 1968 EBO with slotted headstock. I used it exclusively for years as it really suited my playing and style. The tone knob basically did nothing but I loved the deep heavy bass. Neck was a joy to play once I had it set up properly. Ended up settling like so many others, on a P bass.
  19. Surprised no one has made the London bus joke yet 😁
  20. Ooh...er! 🤩
  21. Spotted a new Reel for the Sting 3.0 Tour on Instagram. The new bass still hard to make out with the fast editing. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4ibECLs890/?igsh=MW4xbWFxOTk4bXdvOA==
