It seems other people mostly laid down the bass; andre, sonny, mark, rhonda; does prince suck, why do other people always do it for him?

off the top of my head:

la la la, he he hee (12" version)
sexy dancer (12" version)
let's work
lcd

...somebody help me out here...

what about the one he did when he wore the shmata on his face....he performed it live...dang...

Face Down (Live) from the NPGMC release. Play the MFin' Bass!

I think he mostly plays the bass on 90% of the studio tracks.

Peeps say that's PRINCE on 2 NIGS not Seacer

Wasn't that P on the bass for "Superhero" by NPG. The extended version has some funk bass in it.

'We Can Funk' springs to mind.

Ah, Prince plays bass on the majority of his work. Ironically he very seldom lets people play bass on his albums.

How about What's My Name?

why though, is it that prince on bass doesn't sound like bass? he's raw, no doubt, but most of the time you can't tell he's playin the shit out of it.

Crystal Ball. The bass is lethal on that track.

I was just about to say that one. Days of Wild is another good example.

I think you're right. Songs on Lovesexy that I thought were band efforts I now think were mostly Prince.

Like Alphabet Street. There's no live drums, so Sheila's not on it. I think Prince does the bass, too.

And if you went to the Jam Of The Year shows, you'd know how great he is on bass due to the 20 minute version of Face Down.

Can someone tell me who plays bass on the 12" of Kiss? That break is off the hook!!

I have 2 words for you...

Glass Cutter

HOT!

wat about 777-9311???...i love the bass on that song!

HalluRain said:

Which part? The 1st half of hte song (the single) has no bass. Later in the 12" it sounds like bass saxiphone or something like that.

NDRU said:

- Hmm...it makes sense. Somebody has more accurate credits?

NDRU said:

Sheila did the drums and persussion on alphabet st and most of lovesexy; it says so in the album credits.

Prince didn't play bass on alphabet st!

NDRU said:

20 minute version? Damn did he play it like it was on the chris rock show?

ufoclub said:

- I had an Uptown magazine that had an article about the Black Album. They said that Prince played on ´2Nigs´ and, correct me if I am wrong, on ´Le Grind´ also...

mikek1 said:

sounds like a machine to me on drums, but maybe she did some percussion or created a loop

I never saw the Chris Rock version, but this one essentially evolved into a huge bass jam.

NDRU said:

NDRU u can go 2 Housequake in the video section and request it. It is a must see performance by the man. Way 2 funk

ive always liked love bizarre 12". loads goin on there and great feel.

by plucked i thought you meant with a plectrum. i dont think he plays the bass with a plectrum.

mikek1 said:

No, he does not suck. Maybe he just prefers playing guitar when he is playing live. I mean you can do lots of flashy stuff with the guitar and still hold your singing together. It's much harder to look flashy, sing and hold down the bottom with bass

Release It

the only time I've seen him use a pick was in the Rave Unto the Year 2000 DVD, during the George Clinton bonus part.
