Pretty cool cos Paul is playing bass here, whereas with the Clash he used to play guitar on this song because he found it easier to sing whilst playing guitar than bass.
During Clash concerts, Joe and Paul used to change their struments each other when they did this song. Here it's happened tha same thing between Paul Simonon and Damon Albarn: Paul plays Damon guitar and Damon plays Paul bass. Bye
Maybe you just dont really know what youre talking about. Paul has said himself in interviews he doesnt like playing bass and singing at the same time. Yes he wrote the bassline and probably played it for the album, but he has NEVER played it whilst singing Guns of Brixton.

hi,
also here is Damon playing bass, I'm sure, look better! bye :)

There's only one bass line, as there is with most music. I'm pretty sure Albarn dug out his music master and is playing some muted chords
