Like SteveK said, thumb and fingers for the dum diddy dum diddy parts is the way to go. Don't know how it was done originally though.[/quote] Looks like he's playing in his office! Probably a lawyer or a Headteacher who skins a big salary and twangs the plank all day instead!

Bass - great! Trainers -

Stunner - leave as is.

Unfortunately, he has shipped it as described. You'd probably have to show negligence via previous correspondence agreeing to a better form of packing. I have shipped using a case but tried my best to wrap and cushion the inside around the plank.

TYpe REM live into YouTube and there are tons of great vids with his P-bass Ampeg rig. Great basic sound.

Joe Strummer of Bass!

Willie Nelson's bass player at Glasto last year was using an epiphone les paul heavy metal sig model! Epiphone Vinnie Hornsby Signature Les Paul

You are going to take a financial hit anyway so why not just play it?

The story I recall reading was that he was about to do a video in New York & sent someone out to buy the most beaten up bass they could get and that's what they came back with.[/quote] Sent his tech out for a video shoot (demolition man?) and he came back with the P-bass....his plan was to discard it but curiously he loved it and it became his go-to bass!

CD Dave...... [quote name='cd_david' post='1078448' date='Jan 5 2011, 12:18 PM']Bored, post Christmas/January blues prompted pics [/quote] ...I honestly hate you! Throw in a MM maple neck double buck and I'd give up Friday nights with Angelina Jolie for that collection!

Is it still fashionable to look down on Sting? I think he's great and has some great bass lines. Love his old P-bass and he still has the 2-barrel bridge whereas many would swap it out! So - big up for Gordie and his beat up bass! I'd love a shot of one - any info on how the sound?

[quote name='edster' post='1091578' date='Jan 16 2011, 05:08 PM']It went to a guitarist from the dark lands at the east of the country who wanted to start a wedding band. As with all guitarists bass must have been too hard for him. Last I saw it was for sale on Gumtree.[/quote] Thought I spotted it!
