Introduction
Steinberger started to produce their headless basses in 1980. On 1982-01-18 Sting tried out Andy's bass - first at the soundcheck and then for the actual concert.
On 1982-07-04 (and probably still on 1982-04-12) the Steinberger sticker on the bass is still intact. Lynn Goldsmith photos from (probably) 1982-04-18 reveal that the sticker is only partially there now. By 1982-07-21 the sticker was completely gone.
According to a Steinberger fan website Sting's own black L2 model with the serial # 430 was manufactured in 9/82 and sent to him shortly afterwards directly from the factory ("allegedly owned by Sting").
The Steinberger bass was also used to record the Synchronicity album. Sting's own Steinberger bass (with sticker) can be spotted in 1983 rehearsal room photos taken by Danny Quatrochi.
During the 1983-1984 Synchronicity Tour Danny Quatrochi played it on Invisible Sun, while Sting only used it occasionally.
Andy Summers still owns such bass that features the Steinberger logo (either it's been renewed or it's a different bass).
