"Like a Prayer" - Madonna. Not an ounce of real bass on the track, but it is a great line that will have you woodshedding for days.
Others? |

Plenty of live bass to be had by Bobby Watson, Louis Johnson, Nathan East. Terry Jackson, Abe Laborial & Roy Lawrence played on earlier LP's. His first few LP's almost assuredly had Jamerson or whoever played for The Corporation. |

Others? | Wasn't that Guy Pratt playing bass with an octave pedal? So it is a real bass.

Others? | I think that Like a Prayer was actually played by the great Guy Pratt. The line went through an octaver which gives it a synth like vibe but it was bass guitar. The guy writes some really funny stuff about the stars he played for. I think he said that Madonna loved what he did on Like a Prayer. He has some story about Michael Jackson (who's also been mentioned here) giving feedback on session musicians' tracks while hiding under a mixing desk. Google him - he's quite entertaining. |

Bernie Worrell, on many P-Funk jams like Flashlight, Knee Deep, and One Nation Under a Groove.
