Sting interviewed in November issue of Bass Guitar magazine...
The November issue of the UK magazine Bass Guitar features a really interesting interview with cover star Sting. Joel McIver talks to him about his new album '57th & 9th', his bass set-up, the guitars he has used and his playing style, and his bass heroes such as Jaco Pastorius. The latest issue of Bass Guitar hits the streets very shortly.
As a taster, here's Danny Quatrochi talking about Sting's live gear...
“The bass is a 1957 Precision. The pickup is from the Seymour Duncan custom shop. It’s a single coil, P-Bass stacked pickup model Rev1. The strings are DR Low Rider nickel 40, 60, 80, 100. The wireless units are Sennheiser EW500 G Series. The bass goes from the wireless receiver to a Pete Cornish switching rack and then is routed to an Avalon VT837 preamp which is sent to a Lab Gruppen PLM20000Q power amp. The speakers are from Clair Brothers Audio. There are two ML 18s with a single 18” speaker in each box and two 12 AM speaker cabinets on top. There is a 12” speaker and a 2” high-frequency horn in each cabinet.”
