MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE

Original music by Sting

Performance by The Police

Bass perfomance by Sting

===========================================================================

Listen to the song to find where Sting puts the tacets.

A masterpiece of playing for the song, not just to

show off chops.

What really makes this bass line is the chorus section where

Sting plays a reggae riff.
