Boo Boo, I find you to be competent and to always have something informed and interesting to add or say, but to review sting the way you did clearly illustrates a lack of knowledge on his work. First of all, the bass work in Roxanne alone (a song I mention based on its umbiquity) should launch him into the ****ing stratosphere.
We are all entitled to our mistakes I suppose.

I guess so, i have heard some of his Police stuff, Roxanne is a great song, i love the bass on there myself, i wasn't saying he wasn't a very good bass player, he most certainly is, hes just not what you would call a extreamly technicaly skilled bassist, at least not like Billy Sheenan is, though i really dont care for sheenan, hes damn good and all and is one of the few bassists i have heard who can do crazy shread solos on bass, though i never see the purpose of doing crazy shred solos on bass guitar.
