    This paired with a Fender 500 head would be so sweet. 😎

    He seems pleased with it.

    Spotted the clip on X.

    Again another blurry image of the headstock. Can't see a Fender decal in this one so maybe a one-off by a luthier?

    Saw a little trailer for the upcoming Sting 3.0 tour and grabbed a screenshot showing Sting using what looks like a new custom Fender. I'm not familiar with him playing this before as usually been his beat up '54 P for years now. This one doesn't look like a vintage P with humbucker but something maybe made to order. I'll leave it to the Fender experts to fill in the details. 😄

    Very nice 😎. Liking the side carry handles.

    I played one of these when they came out and absolutely loved it. I'm a lefty and flipped it upside down. I decided I wanted something more practical for access to the top end of the neck but was seriously tempted to buy as a studio bass.

    Friend of mine has the six string guitar version and says it's fantastic.

    Love it! 😍

    I also had one of these without the graphic. 😎 Used it for years at gigs and rehearsals. Mega loud but heavy to move around. Love the sound of Acoustic gear.

    Rare has hen's teeth. Doesn't look too shabby. A wee visit to a good luthier and this could be a real winner. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186138613434?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gHyWXFJ3Tfm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=WHATS_APP

    Would love to come across a leftie version of this. Very cool.

    All interesting and informative comments. I would say that what I'm lacking with the existing strings is low-end definition. It is a laminated bass. Also, playing-wise on DB I'm a newbie so would prefer lighter tension to help moving around. If this extra info offers up further discussion please weigh in 😎

    Anyone out there using Thomastik Superflexible strings? What is the difference between these and say Spirocores? Got a 1/2 upright that needs new strings and Superflexibles are about £40 cheaper.

    Nice 😎

    A thing of beauty. Is that hole in the headstock for wall-hanging, a fifth string or just a poor shot? 🤔😄

    Love those lollipop tuners

    Here he is practising on it

    Yeh, was reading a recent interview with Sting where he talked about that track and what bass he used on it. Think he has been playing Teen Town on it at rehearsals which would be something to see/hear.

    Buena Vista Social Club for example or tuning into traditional south american radio stations is a real treat sonically to the ears that like the earthy honest tones of an upright as a beautiful accompaniment.

    That's a great deal. I had a Vintage Icon fretless and thought the neck was really nice.

    Still looking 😍
