Hard to argue with this choice.

THE BASS DURING THIS ENTIRE SONG IS DA BOMB:

Baby, what's your phone number?
I know I'm kinda fast, but I hate 2 waste time
Baby, what's your phone number?
Girl, I have 2 ask cuz U're so fine

777-9311
I wanna spend the night with U if that's alright
777-9311
Ooh baby, please can I come 2 night?

Baby, what's your phone number?
How can U be reached on a lonely night?
Baby, what's your phone number?
How can I get into U when I'm feeling right?

777-9311
I wanna spend the night with U if that's alright
777-9311
Ooh baby, please can I come 2 night?

Ain't nothin' worse than rejection
I'd feel a little better if U slapped my face

Hey, what's your phone number?
Can't U see the agony I'm goin' through?
Baby, what's your phone number?
Girl, it's getting hard baby, won't U let me love U, love U?

777-9311
I wanna spend the night with U if that's alright
777-9311
Ooh baby, please can I come 2 night?

the bass during "Days O Wild" live at glam slam 95. It includes Hair & 777-9311. So that's 3 killer basslines in one rendition. Plus some xhilerating improvisational solo going on near the end.

It don't get much better than that my friends.

I particularly like Let's Work myself and even had a friend of mine who's a bass gutarist and lead vocalist in a band going on this one for his gigs ! It was awesome to hear him do that !

As soon as eye saw this topic...that's the very 1st bass line that came 2 mind.....SO true...

Also...the bassline that kicks after the "soy milk" speech in Joint 2 Joint was INSANE and OFF THE CHAIN !!

SO SO SO many bass riffs. Well first I would say for his own releases It would be,

1) Lets Work - (note: Meshell Ndegchello said this was her inspriation in playing bass-Bass Player Magazine).

2) Just As Long As We're 2gether - First CD. (This he used again in Alphabet street).

3) I Feel For You - Listen to the end of the song. They way the keyboard riff and the bass speak to each other. WOW!!

Honorable Mention - The closing of White Mansion. My x girlfriend always had me play this song just for that part.

As for other groups...

of Course...777-9311

I completely agree with "Sexy Dancer," but my list would also include: "Kiss," "Controversy," "Sexy M.F.," "U Got the Look," and "I Wanna Be Your Lover."
