Well, I think the final tally is in:
P-Basses - 4 (Fiesta Red, Jamareo's Pino, Sting's, and one more)
Jazz Basses - 2 (Mumford's yellow and one more)
Ric - 1 (Lumineer's Jetglo)
Harmony - 1 (Black Keys)
Double Basses - 4+ (Stanley, Jack White (2), and more)
I might've missed a few... But the interesting thing to me was little or nothing from other makers. No Lakies, Sad's, Lulls, Spectors, or even Gibson... Wha' happened???

If I remember correctly it was a clean sweep or damn near close to it for the fender P last year. I'm sure someone will fact check that thread sometime today. The show certainly wasn't as good as last years, IMHO |

| | | | I thought the show last night really lacked the heart of the music industry. It felt like there were more commercials than ever before and they only handed out 11 awards live. I would like to see more live performance next year.

I'm 51, been watching the Grammy 'forever'..I thought the show was great.
I also watch my friends, mainly my age turn into their parents bitching about the artists, the music...bla bla bla.
Since when was Rock and Popular music about old dead people.
Bruno Mars and Sting killed...!

So were Chick, Stanley, & Kenny, in case anyone noticed that all-to-brief segment. |

the Levon tribute was my favorite.
Wasn't dissing old dead musicians, just 'my' generational friends sounding like our parents, cranky that "kids these days don't know what 'real' music is"..That's BS.

Anyone notice that the Marley tribute had two bass players. Sting & ??? It was pretty bad though. Thank Damien for saving it.
I just dont get Mumford & Sons... they sound like every other of the 5 billion Irish bar bands. |

Bruno Mars and Sting killed...! | I hear ya on this point--I'm about the same age and have tried to avoid complaining too much about current music trends.
But I've always thought the Grammy awards had more misses (including a bunch of "What the hell were they thinking?" moments) than astute selections.

| This was the only act worth watching IMO. So so so much pop, I feel very old and out of touch at 38yrs old.
