For the most part sting used a pick on a fender jazz bass, occasionally there was a slight slap-back echo delay applied to his lines. The lines a simple however they are not nessaraly easy maske sure to listen to the recod carefullly to obtain stingÕs reggae and jazz syncopation was the bass drum. I have been playing bass for about three weeks, so any contructive critisizm or insight in to singÕs style would be greatlly apreaciated. Hal-Lenard publishing does have a police bass-tab book out however I have yet to see it. I also donÕt have the money to spend on a potentianlly incorrect tab book. Eventually I hope to transcribe the compleate Police for bass. Each time I transcribe more songs I will post them in this newsgroup and in nevada. legend h=hammeron p=pull off s=slide pound=continueous 8th notes ==================================================== Demoltion Man by the Police transcribed by Andy Aleodort prepared for computer tab by kevin gardner [email protected] bass line for the entitre song
