I was searching for a backing track for "So lonely" and came across this site:

[url="http://www.karaoke-version.com"]http://www.karaoke-version.com[/url]

where you can choose what instruments to mute, an download the result for £1.99 per track. It's not the original version, but the quality is pretty decent for most songs I checked. "So Lonely" is there and sounds cool.

I thought someone else might like it.

I love playing along to the old Police tunes.
I had the guys mess about at practice trying a few Police tunes a couple of times, unfortunately our drummer wasn't really up to the task :(
I love the mix of whitman reggae-rock that they had.

Sting had/has great timing in his playing and had the skill and ear to never overplay his lines and the chops to do each song justice.

I read somewhere that during recording at one point he would often track his upright with his electric.

[/quote]Good point about drummers and Police songs, a lot of them just want to play 'normal' beats and that ain't gonna work.
So is that why I can't quite work out what kind of bass he's playing?
