His playing style was pretty fundamental to the bands sound though? Spirits in the material world, Voices inside my head, Walking on the Moon, Synchronicity II.... we just talked about about plugging in a "better" player in the Stones and it not being as good.
Always felt you could drop any other decent player in there and they'd play similar lines without giving it too much thought. I would say Stewart Copeland was a lot more important to their sound than Sting was (as a bass player--of course his voice and songwriting were what made the band).
