Verified via Photo

Sting can be seen playing his first Ibanez bass in this photo, widely documented as the Ibanez MC940 when in fact it was an Ibanez MC900DS fretted model modified to a fretless. The proof is in the photo, in that the fret markings from the original model are still visible around the edges of the neck. This was Sting's main bass during the Reggatta De Blanc era (1979-1980). Sting first got the Ibanez around June 1979 according to The PoliceWiki website, and he can be seen using the Ibanez in photos taken during recording sessions for the Reggatta De Blanc album at Surrey Sound Studios in the Summer of 1979. It was also used heavily onstage during the album's tour, and appears in music videos like Message in a bottle and Can't stand losing you.
