I don't know who the bass player was, but I agree...the basslines were very difficult to play. "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" is similarly difficult, although a little slower.

Disco was popular when I first started learning bass, so shoot me.

According to these links at allmusic.com,

Someone named Alfonso Carey played bass on Macho Man and Y.M.C.A.

He was a macho man to play those lines...
