Double Bass How NOT to treat your Doublebass...

[lorianb]

Methinks Sting can afford a new one though...

Wow! There's a commercial for putting your DB on the floor with the bridge to the wall.

Looks like it will a new set of strings and maybe a nut...

OUCH!!! But he kept on singing and playing... Show must go on!!!

That's what happens when a double bass is just a prop to add gravitas to your little movie.

Sting plays (played?) that DB on other songs on another video, and well. I don't recollect where I saw it - or why?

He played a Z Bass in the video for "Every Breath You Take".

He's actually paying a double bass in that video. He played his Z Bass for his Invalid Link Removed. I think it sounds pretty good.

Go back to about the 7 minute mark. The DB is there, then it's not there, then it's there... I'm wondering if it wasn't scripted all along.

"Crazy" as in he has no clue what he is doing with it..

I noticed the same thing, and asked myself the same question.

Then I realized I've been oblivious/indifferent to Sting for decades; why start caring now?
