I'd be mad if I was Prince too, It would not be easy to play piano and lead, and be expected to lug a bass around 2.

I think Prince has been playing the bass live his entire career.

He used to walk seductively behind Andre and play the bass

I remember seeing a picture of him during the Purple Rain Tour, dressed in the Funkadelic One Nation flag as a shirt, playing Brown Mark's bass.

I'm sure there are other examples of him playing the bass early on in his career, but those are the only 2 I could come up with.
