merello Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Watched this last night and was blown away - especially by 'This Cowboy Song' - and really enjoyed the overall feel of it. There was a classical bass player but also another guy playing a sunburst bass. Anyone know who he is and what he was playing? Thanks in advance!

Pete Academy Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Great song. Is it Tony Levin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlloyd Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Looks like a Fender Precision Sting signature edition, albeit with a black scratchplate. Yep... around 5:35, you can see the inlaid signature block. No idea who he is. Edited January 7, 2011 by dlloyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Academy Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Just googled it and it says Jaribu Shahid. I presume Ira Coleman is on upright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassace Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Great vid! Sounds of Aaron Copeland. Did the blonde play the guitar or did she use it just for the walk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Love this, and all of his new orchestral stuff, really well thought out... Sting really is one of my favourite songwriters of all time, even if he is a bit of a ponce at times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merello Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Cheers guys - Ira Coleman it is! Looks like he got a freebie sig bass from the G-ordey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
