So if I understand the article right he has auctioned that one but got another made. Is that right?

Yeah I noticed a lot of the videos online from the most recent Sting 3.0 shows he had been using his old bass. Did he play the old 55 the whole show? I wonder why he’s not playing his new toy.

I got one I might be selling, it’s just a bit too much going on eq wise for me plus the subway cabs are out of my price range.

Interesting how the body looks new but the fret board has been aged.

Ohh same clip is also on instagram now if fender did a release of these( not custom shop) would you buy one ?

Check out sting’s Facebook he just posted and mentioned his new bass and giving his old one “ a sabbatical”.

I spoke with Bernard at Fender , he was very helpful and found out it is a Fender custom shop build for Sting.

Also the string tree is closer to the nut than on a standard tele head stock and although it’s a little blurry does that head shape looks like it has a slight point at the bottom of the round end. Is it a Fender?

My first thought was a telecaster bass, but the pickup position is wrong

To add to the knowledge base, my new gk 800s fusion has a slight twist in its chassis and doesn’t sit on all 4 feet. I was at a shop recently and checked out a 1200s and a legacy 800 , and they both had the same problem! Anyone else notice this?

Anyone know how many watts the abm 600 evo iv puts out at 8 ohms thanks

The off spring closely followed by green day is the tone I go for.

yeah i know , i smelt a electrical burning smell for a couple of seconds before it stoped , sent it to the fender repair agent. He said there was a blown power tube , and a blown fuse. Maybe there was more to it than that, and i just didn't get all the details . Wasn't the main reason i sold it anyway. It was just too much rig for the gigs.

i sold mine after a reliability issue , i read that the power tubes where fused in pairs, so that if one failed the amp should keep going on reduced power. It did not!
