Over three grand!!!!!

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

Ok its for charidee, but I can't get my head around how anyone would want to pay so much for this. Its not as if its actually one of Stings basses, just a standard CIJ sig model with a scribble on the Pickguard.

I like the sting bass, but I'm always put off by the 12th fret pearl block with the printed signature. Having the pickguard autographed as well would really ruin it.

Surely it can't be that difficult to get Mr Sting to sign a pickguard.

If anything you'd have thought it would have put the price down.

Over 3000 clams for charity and you have to pay for your own postage. That's not very charitable. Pah!
I'm a tad cynical about the 0 feedback.

Didn't Stuart Copeland have 'Sting is a c***' written on his tom heads or is it an urban myth? How much would they be worth?

I reckon it'll be bought by some landed gentry up the Tyne Valley who knows nowt about basses but wants a nick-nack to put on their wall, whilst doing their bit for charity...

What, Sting's going to buy it himself??

[yorks5stringer]

Don't think he lives up the Toon now: he has a big place in Wiltshire amongst many others.

I'm fairly sure he's got a place over this side too.
