Sting P bass

[sblueplanet]

Found a 360 animation of Sting's 54' precision and grabbed some pics. On the back of the bass the finish is almost completely worn away. I wonder just how much maintenance an old bass like this really needs given he plays it constantly.

Nice looking bass just read Sting's interview, in this months BGM.

He usually plays Custom Shop replicas with hum-cancelling pickups.

Didn't he play mainly jazz basses with the Police.?

[Delberthot]

The ones I remember are the Seinberger stick and the most famous for me are the precision fretless ones - one red and one natural if I remember rightly

He also played Ibanez Musician and I remember white Spector that he played during Synchronicity tour.

Around "Ten Summoners Tales" time he was alternating between a 60's jazz and a graphite necked (Moses I believe) precision bitsa. Haven't seen him play anything but a 50's P (or replica thereof) in quite a while... Other than a lute of course...

[Muzz]

Let's not forget the red fretless 8-string Hamer Explorer thing...I hope he collected his bet money for that one...

i did see him playing a natural / maple / tort precision a while back

No he doesn't. Danny (his bass tech) did present him with a custom shop replica but he prefers the old one

you're right about the pickup though. Its a SD stacked thing wired in parallel, (same as in my Sting replica built by Bravewood)
