That is a funn(k)y question. For a musician that is called funky, Prince's songs actually don't have much of a bassline. Nothing like the hompin an stumpin an bumpin an grindin of the P funk. Let s Work, the long version is good, though. | |

"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. How can I stand 2 stay where I am? / Poor butterfly who don't understand. | |

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!!!)

777-9311

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. | |
