This might sound too evident, but when you compose a song, it's yours, you got each and every note sticked into your head, both for your bassline and your vocals. The bass plays almost in "auto" mode, and you focus on the vocals that are very close to the bassline. If you make a cover, both playing bass and singing then you will be in trouble and have have to practise for a very long time.

He played a simpler line live. That might have been because it worked better, though, not because he couldn't play the part - this song was weird live, with the guitar playing the chords.

Sting never played the bassline this way live due to it interfering with his ability to sing it, as far as I know, he only played the original bassline when the album was being recorded at AIR in Montserret, there are also several citations on the song (I believe on the wiki as well) that he never played this version of the bassline live at concerts.

Sting (aka, Gordon Sumner) is such a massive talent, to this day. 'Nice to see you focusing on his work in The Police. It could be easy for casual listeners to undervalue his interesting bass playing, considering the power of his singing, song writing, and guitar skills.

This is my favorite Police song. For many years Ghosts in the Machine was my only Police record. I learned the song when it first came back in the early 80's and relearned it and jammed on it with a couple of friends over the past year. In the 80's I played it with a pick. Today I play it with my fingers. Great bass line(s).
@johnconnors2386

Ghost…was my 1st Police album & the very first album I bought with my own money. I can still remember where & approximately when I bought it. It holds a special place in my heart, then again, doesn’t all of their work? (Like choosing the best Beatles album, right?) As a drummer, Stewart & Neil P. we’re my greatest influences (I think most Gen-X drummers would say the same).Back then it was impossible not to be effected by their playing. Prior to watching this video, I worried that Julia might play the bass line incorrectly, as is often done. She plays it exactly as I hear it. So that makes her correct;). Play on, my friend!

Not one instrument plays on the one in this song. Stewart Copeland acknowledges that this drum pattern is one of his hardest for that reason. Such a killer song and album. Great job on this cover. YOu bring back memories for this old man.
