Sneaky Bass parts You ever have a song you just usually listen to and don't really notice what its made of till all of a sudden one day outta nowhere?
I was just transferring my bsides disc to tape the other day (some of it anyhow) and just now noticed really how much of a part the bass plays in 17 days, she's always in my hair and Erotic City. "Why'd I waste my kisses on you baby?" R.I.P. Prince You've finally found your way back home. Well Done. | |

Hey, I just got a tape player and my car only has a tape deck. But I have no tapes...just Marvin Gaye's Here, My Dear (which is really good btw).
How do you transfer disc to tape? | |

Well I don't have a mp3 player or ipod so until more fundage shows up I still only have tapes a portable music carwise and as for my portable portable I never upgraded my compact cd player to shockproof so it bounces if I use it.
Yes I still am in the prehistoric area I have a walkman and a tape deck in the car. Thats how it came and I haven't upgraded it yet. Nice to joke a little at my expense for sure, no problemo I can take it but I thought you were actually responding to the post topic.  "Why'd I waste my kisses on you baby?" R.I.P. Prince You've finally found your way back home. Well Done. | |

Alphabet Street.
All of Prince's songs have great parts and sometimes they are buried in the mix. When you turn it up it's like "Wow!" | |

Actually it's the bass line in all three that have always been my favorite thing about them. |

One of my favourites is the bass-line in 'U Got The Look' - especially the bit between "U walked in... I woke up". I love it when Prince makes every instrument 'sing' in the mix. Does anyone know what instrument that is? A synthesiser? | |

Sorry to talk about another artist, but the bassline on "China Girl" is well hidden also, simple and terribly groovy | |

Listen to "International Lover" with headphones. Especially at the beginning. P is working the bass!  | |

Does anyone know what instrument that is? A synthesiser? This is true for alot of his songs. He'll bury a bass line or even another guitar part very low in the mix so you'll almost have to be fully concentrating on the song to catch it. I still hear parts like this in songs I've heard 1,000 times. | |

Imagine if/when the remasters appear. It'll be like Pandora's Box!  | |

The Parade album is full of Prince's mindblowing bass work, he puts on a clinic on that disc. The versatility is amazing and the majority of it is buried in the mix. | |
