Sting's bass lines on 'Ghost in the Machine'

[DoctorCollier]

Hi all

This is my first time posting on Basschat. I just wrote an article that was published in the August issue of Bass Musician Magazine about Sting's bass lines on the Police album, [i]Ghost in the Machine[/i]. The article includes a transcription of every song on the record, with a short discussion of each bass line. It's a pretty interesting album from a bass perspective, as many of the songs are structured around short bass grooves that repeat through all or much of the song.

I was reminded what a heavy hitting bassist sting was back in the day hearing this. Full on rock bass. Really punchy and tight...
