Playing whole notes with Boss' Slicer pedal will do that sequence thing, too.

I might have to look into one.

Yeah, you just play whole notes it in, and set the 'slice' pattern. It is a pretty cool effect, actually. It was in my old Boss VF-1, and they made it into its own pedal.

I'm thinking that I'll use compression and the active tone controls on my bass to get the best approximation.

Yeah, anything Police needs nice heavy compression!

PS: Ghost In The Machine is probably my favorite Police record.
Wore it (and Synchronicity) out on vinyl back in the day.

Ditto for me

Sounds like a synth.

Agreed
