HOW LONG HAS the chick on bass been with Prince?

when i wore prince ass out on guitar last year in new orleans he was trying to get her to play bambi with me but she didn't know it so he took it from her and played it

how long has she been with him?

she is fine as hell so it doesn't matter that she can't play that well...

I reckon the chance that you are referring to Larry Graham quite minimal,
so that would make the 'chick on bass' miss Rhonda Smith? smile

She has been playing with Prince for quite some years, on and off,
mainly because of Larry's presence, and her solo project.
First thing that comes to mind is her playing on Emancipation, back in '96.

about 8 years.

but wait, there's more...

opinions don't mean much, however, i'd take Rhonda over
Larry. to me, she's the best since Brownmark. And i don't agree that if someone couldn't remember 1 song out of hundreds, that they "...can't play that well."
she's technically on it! and the way she just sexes those fat strings! *snif* i love that woman

Rhonda Smith has been with P for about 8 years. She rules, very Jaco Pastorius sometimes

I never got the full low down on Rhonda's quiet years.

Did she leave 2 go to the "Martin Short" show (band) because:

The so called affair with (enter name here) and wanted to avoid the cat fight with Mayte or

Larry G came onto the scene, and there was not enough room for 2 bass players in the one band.

I read somewhere (internet?) Prince saying that Larry was never the bass player for the NPG, so maybe the former was correct?
