The Police where supposed to play an Unplugged Gig in Miami!
I was looking forward to see if Sting was going to play his Italian Double bass, or His Taylor Acoustic Bass Guitar or Both? (Not at the same time, Mind you that would be Impressive!)
Anybody know anything??

Ps To the one that said Who Cares.
A) I can't believe the snobbery! People play Double bass in other styles of music other than the styles mentioned on this site.
B) Andy Summers has been playing Jazz since he was 14, and since the Police that's what he's been doing. Sting has been playing Jazz since he first started play bass and was named "sting " in a Dixie band
C) The Police play very much with a "Jazz" spirit, the non fixed style of music they play! |

"Bon Jovi performed unplugged in 2007 on CMT. The Police, Mary J. Blige, Kenny Chesney and John Mayer were scheduled to perform, but it appears these were scrapped." |

Playing the big bass in lieu of slab on the same material is a real challenge, and a pleasure to watch done well. |
