"I wonder U" is just a sublime bassline. I still dont entirely understand what is going on with it having listened to the track a thousand times. Still sounds as good now as it ever did. At 1:40 that track just isn't long enough and that is why it's one of my favourites. Everytime I play it I think "if only there was just a little more"

If I Was Your Girlfriend's bassline is very sexy to me. Of course, 777-9311 is great too.

When Doves Cry lol

2 Nigs United For West Compton (although I suspect that this is actually Levi Seacer Jr.) - Aggressive but nasty stank non-puritan bass solo!

Joy In Repetition (When Larry Graham plays it - I know I'm gonna get heat for this!!!)

and of course

777-9311

Tried many flavours - but sooner or later, always go back to the Purple Kool-aid!

If you are talking Sexy (NOT FUNKY, PEOPLE), I am going to go with Beautiful Strange. Starts in G on the E string and winds its way up to the 12th fret on the A string. That thickness of the tone with the understated flanger giving it the flavor...that is baby making music.

A lot of Prince's bass lines are more of a "rhythmic rumble" & not so much of a defined melodic part. They're just a transparent part of the groove, but Funky as Hell, for sure.
