Bass on when u were mine...

Is that Prince or Andre?

I think it's some of the most effective bass playing... he's playing with a pick right?

I just love how the verse parts are just voice, bass and drums...

I hear ya. But I think that's what makes it special. Simple but effective... and also the simple instrumentation... just voice, bass and drums during the verse. I like that you can hear the bass without any keys or guitars.

hmmm Do you mean because of it's simplicity? going for a smaller, more intimate sound...
