Bass Prince

Which songs do you think represent Prince's best bass guitar work?

I think "Get Wild' and 'I'm Yours' stand out.

Big props go to 777-9311 -- whether it was Prince playing it or not.

And the extended version of Kiss -- that bass run is pretty killer!
I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here.

*maybe he didn't technically play the bassline on all of these, but he still came up with it. cool
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

Personally I like the Bass in Days of Wild.

I saw a Snippet of Prince jamming on Bass in a Documentary, I think it was around the Batdance period, It was a funky assed bit of playing though I remember that !!! wink

Prince played EVERYTHING on the For You album (27 instruments to be exact). He only used the band for live gigs, which didn't start happening til 1979.

Sorry - I was referring to the section on DoW from Crystal Ball, where Prince announces "By the Way I Play Bass Guitar" and then stomps out on the Bass - Although I do like the whole Bass on the song itself. Doesn't really matter that much as to who played it I suppose as it would have been written by Prince anyhoo !!!!! lol
