You can see what gear I have in my Profile. Please help me get that slap sound, or something very close to it.
Thanks a bunch for your time and help with this.

Like I said in the other one. I don't have an SWR anymore. I have an EBS. You must have seen the SWR in my "Previously Owned Gear" section

+1 Jazz bass, man. That's it. I think the tinny "Superstition" sound you're hearing is the keyboard doubling the part.

May be the keyboard doubling. I've got the Jazz bass.

There is something other than just a Jazz bass there. Sounds like either a keyboard double or some type of tracking unit to midi but I didn't see a midi pickup. Cool sound.

Sorry, that's the only Prince on bass I have. I wish I had more though. If anybody knows of any more, please feel free to post it in here.

You can see the keys player doubling the line a little later into it. To my ears (though on laptop speakers) the sound is more of the keys than the bass. His slap comes through a little stronger in certain spots, but it sounds fairly clean to me. I think you're hearing the keys more than anything.
What was that headstock I saw at 4:44? It looked somewhat Valenti-ish, but I feel confident that it wasn't one of Nino's; it just seemed a little off from that. I can't recall what the other company is that has a somewhat similar head shape.

Adron, I think that's a Bongo headstock.

Prince videos come and go (they usually show up again).
Try searching Prince NAACP
