Sting got a brand new toy?

[BassAgent]

I really like the look of that bass. Not a fan of the SCPB's but this is a bass I'd like.

 

And can we please also acknowledge the fact Sting is almost 73 years old and looks like a 50-year-old? Man, that guy is fit. And so is his voice. Just saw this clip of Roxanne live a few weeks ago. He plays it in F (instead of G, the original key) and his voice is absolutely amazing. What a guy.

This bass was made by Jacaranda.The pu and neck are original Fender

So it’s not a CS

Certainly does, much better than the black one I threw together last month 🙂 

 

In my defence it's not a serious build, American lad messaged me about sound clips with different pickups in the P-bass spot. He mentioned Sting's new toy, I had a WRHB so pupped it in the pickup test bass. Vast swimming pool cavity is hidden below a plate.

I saw Sting play yesterday. He used his old trusty 55.

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.

Anyone think it's either a Custom Shop special just for him or his own tech built it for him?

[Doctor J]

As mentioned above, it's a Jacaranda made in Italy.

Interesting news... Looks like it was sold at a charity auction for 60,000 euros 😮

 

[Chrisan2]

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

The full story appears to read that Sting has kept the original bass he has been using on the tour and a replica was built for the auction. Wonder if he even touched it 🤔

It is a custom made bass with a fender neck, comes from an Italian luthier shop, Jacaranda is the name, Sting lives here in Italy

Hello guys.

Daniele from Jacaranda Guitars made another one and it’s for sale.
