LZD56 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Sting & Shaggy (yeah right!) were on The One Show a few days ago. Sting was playing a beautiful single cut extra short scale bass (similar size to a U-Bass). Anyone know what it was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Without seeing the clip, was it a Wing Bass? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangur Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Am I alone on struggling to feel this connection working? Sting an Shaggy are both cool, but does this blend well? Nice mini bass. Can't help though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Thought it might be a Marleaux Soprano but a custom single cut type. Headstock looks similar but actually maybe it’s a bit more ACG shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franzbassist Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Is it a Mayones? Headstock looks the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Good call. Somehow the high gloss finish reminds me of them too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueno Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I'm really into short scales at the mo... but that might be a step too far, heh! heh! Seen Stonefield advertising a mini bass. Are they the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I love mine. They seem to be getting quite popular to be honest, although I’ve been actively looking into them I notice them being made by more manufacturers. Sting normally copies me anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 The trouble with finding the maker of this is the "Sting factor". When you've got his bank balance you can get anyone to make anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drTStingray Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) I like the way it looks like a miniature AJ Presentation bass. But without the bulk, if you see what I mean. Good to see Sting following your lead Ped! Edited April 2, 2018 by drTStingray 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
