Sonny is in rare form on Peach if you listen closely. Glad somebody said Face Down & Days. Check out Tamborine too. [Edited 1/12/09 12:16pm] | |

There is something strangely "suspicious" about this thread, but...
"Let's Work" from the 'Controversy' album. That's one of the funkiest bass lines he ever laid down. "He's a musician's musician..." |

I like to hear him play bass but I LOVE to WATCH him play it. I swear the words "HATER" is wayyy over-rated...smh | |

The best part of his Vanguard performance was when he grabbed the bass for The Jam.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

i've actually always felt that Prince doesn't turn the bass up in many if not most of his songs. just the other day i finally heard the bass line on Thieves in The Temple and I've been loving that song since it came out.
many of his bass lines are just repeated over and over without too much embellishment. There are exceptions of course. But something like PFunk and Brand New Orleans has some proper bass playing that deviates from the loop effect. [Edited 1/12/09 15:56pm] | |
