Stevie Wonder has never had a bad bassist.

James Jamerson, Bob Babbitt, Nate Watts, Stevie himself on a few records... They're all among my favorite bass players. I can't honestly thing of a Stevie tune that doesn't have a fantastic bassline.

Didn't Anthony Jackson play with Stevie? if so, another top class bassist to add to the list.

An amazing musican SHOULD surround himself with amazing musicians.

Agree. Circle gets the square.

In fact, I think Stevie's own synth bass provided some of the best bass lines ever recorded.

Village Ghetto Land. At least, it doesn't have an fantastic electric/double bassline, but I'm just nitpicking.

This thread has encouraged me to pick up Songs in the Key of Life again and I might try learning some more of the basslines. Nathan Watts is the king.

Ive always said that great musicians and great writers/arrangers know how important the bass is. Stevie learned from the best about bass. Jamerson was his teacher and taught him alot.
