Subject: BASS TAB: POLICE COLLECTION
Police Bass TAB version 1.0
===========================
The following represents my personal collection of
stringss bass lines from his police years.
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 stings
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 sings
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 dont 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.
