Prince songs involving a lot of bass guitar?

Can someone hit me with a list of names of songs that have bass guitar in them? My lil bro just got one, and asked me to hook him up with some examples.

Try '17 Days'* - that's as good a place as ANY to start with! music

*(B-side to When Doves Cry and available on the 3-disc version of 'The Hits' CD set).

Now that's a good choice.

I actually made 4 cd's with songs that were heavy on bass for me to play along with when Iplayed the bass. I'll have to dig those out.

Let's Work was one of my favorites.

eek Oh yeah, that would be funky! Somehow I don't think we'll be hearing anything off Emancipation, though... confused

In Emancipation there is a uptempo track with a great bass line. I dont remember if its emancipation, slave, or something like it.

I'm happy to be the first to mention Irresistable Bitch! I'm listening to that all the time at the moment, the drums/bass track is tight as hell. Kinda hard for me to make out what he's playing though.

There's also some raw, heavy slapping in Juda's Smile. I wonder U has an awesome bass line. For non-slap bass I'd say the first Madhouse album, nice and fluid.

Okay, so it's not a lot of bassline, but IMO the two of the best...
