Oh Musicman Nut....!! (BP/Jon)

Here's a bass on ebay that seems to suit your tastes...claims to be an "artist relations" bass made by EB for Sting?? Stingray body with Sterling spec'ed neck..

Says he's talked to people at EB about it...BP, Jon? Any confirmation on this bass??

I like it that man is asking wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much for that bass tho lol

 

[bovinehost]

Not if it's what he says it is.

 

[Fuzzy Dustmite]

My thoughts, too. That's a pretty good jumping off point, as it's about the price of a new bass.

From Gav's site...

36005...09/92. Cherryburst with Maple. EB advise owner that Bass has narrow neck and sold to "STING" of band "POLICE".

Never heard of Sting?

The color is a sort of cherry see thru finish that I have'nt seen before

Looks like trans red to me .....

AUCTION:

MY OLD TRANS RED:

It kinda has a light burst on the edges, no?

That's the info the owner gave me. I don't know how accurate it is. However, going by the aucton pics, it does appear to have a narrow neck.

I seem to remember having a conversation with Jon about basses built for artists...Paul McCartney has a Sterling....and I think, although I might be making this up, he mentioned Sting.

Jon? BP? Dargin? Derek?

I'd say on pedigree (Sting) and unique-ness alone, $1100 is a steal.

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

>>>>It kinda has a light burst on the edges, no?

Agree. It doesn't appear to be the regular Trans Red.

 

[jongitarz]

We have made basses for Sir Paul. I don't know about Sting....Derek or BP may be able to help out here

 

[Rod Trussbroken]

Jon, does the data base record any info similar to this?

36005... "STING" etc etc etc

 

[jongitarz]

Gav..I don't work Fridays, but maybe someone who does will see this and check.

The bass says Stingray "special" but it gives no name. It was more than likely made for an artist. We will check with Dudley.

Thanks

Thats cool. What's he doing today fishing?

I dont remember making sting a bass....dudley You?

 

[superseed]

I'm a pretty big Police and Sting fan, and I recall him mentioning in interviews that he has rather large hands and I would think thats one of the reasons he has been favoring "baseball bat-sized" vintage P-basses and what he prefers. I would think a Stingray neck would have been more applicable.


Of course he did play a '62 Jazz quite a bit too..........sheeesh......I'm stumped
