Introduction
Sting bought the 1957 Fender Precision in 1993. Danny Quatrochi remembers that the 1957 bass was hired for Sting's Demolition Man video shoot in California. Sting bought it right away and immediately wanted to use it for a concert.
The production year of that bass has been listed as 1953 or 1954 in various magazines. 2000-03 Bass Player mentions that Fender made an exact replica of that instrument including all its holes and missing paint.
