The funkiest P bass line: When Doves Cry.. it's funky cuz it aint got one!
Personally . I think we are all Boring with No Lives cause all we do is talk about Prince,Criticize and Gossip. I need a Horny Man is what I Need and probably so do most of yas. We are Sexually Frustrated what we R... Amen..!!! - zelaire

The bassline in "The One" is pretty dope. I know it's not prince playing it, but it sounds great.

On the contrary. Have you ever seen this song LIVE like on the NUDE TOUR, heavy bass line.

Without a doubt, Let's Work (long version) is up there. As for bass "licks", the long version of Anotherloverholeinyohead has some good licks in it.

I agree with 777 93 11 ... but do go back and listen to the bass in Alphabet St... it kinda gets drowned in the mix but it is really under appreciated... it kills me everytime smile
