Fretless - The Police. Simply fantastic bass lines

[mcnach]

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.

[/quote]Don't know if such a site exists but the music industry could make a mint doing this with the original tracks.

AFAIK he did buy his first fretless and gigged it that evening.

Why can't I use the quote button . I press it but it doesn't do anything

Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic - I think it's rather good.

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.

I was playing along to Message In A Bottle last week, simple but fun.
The last time I tried Roxanne my timing was all over the place! must give it another go.

[/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?

if you listen carefully to every little thing she does is magic you can her the upright on the intro and also on every breath

[/quote]Ta, I can hear that one, it's just that sometimes they seem to merge.
