Sting new bass?

[LZD56]

Sting & Shaggy (yeah right!) were on The One Show a few days ago. Sting was playing a beautiful single cut extra short scale bass (similar size to a U-Bass). 

Anyone know what it was? 

[Sibob]

Without seeing the clip, was it a Wing Bass?

Si

You might want to ffwd the whole of the One Show to the end 😂

Here it is as well.

Even the Sting bit too................?

[Grangur]

Am I alone on struggling to feel this connection working?

Sting an Shaggy are both cool, but does this blend well?

Nice mini bass. Can't help though.

Thought it might be a Marleaux Soprano but a custom single cut type. Headstock looks similar but actually maybe it’s a bit more ACG shape.

Especially the Sting bit.

Is it a Mayones?  Headstock looks the same.

[ped]

Good call. Somehow the high gloss finish reminds me of them too...

[Trueno]

I'm really into short scales at the mo... but that might be a step too far, heh! heh!

Seen Stonefield advertising a mini bass. Are they the future?

[ped]

I love mine. They seem to be getting quite popular to be honest, although I’ve been actively looking into them I notice them being made by more manufacturers. Sting normally copies me anyway. 

[Grangur]

The trouble with finding the maker of this is the "Sting factor". When you've got his bank balance you can get anyone to make anything.

[LZD56]

Agreed. It looks an expensive bit of timber! 

[ped]

Bet he got stung 

[Grangur]

Take a closer look

I like the way it looks like a miniature AJ Presentation bass. But without the bulk, if you see what I mean. 

Good to see Sting following your lead Ped!

Here we go. Mayones logo on this one:

Would he be playing this through an octaver?

[ped]

Didn’t really want to listen to the song but I don’t think so. Despite what you might think these little things sound surprisingly ‘full’ and ‘big’

Especially the wing bass, but of course you wouldn't know.

[Dazed]

Sting and Shaggy? 

 That was an April fool thing, right?
