    For you slap bassist's, could you recreate this line

    I've been watching and listening to A LOT of Prince lately, specifically his new years show. He played an EXTREMELY FUNKY bass duet with the one and only Larry Graham. What I'd like to see is if anybody can pick up on what they are doing at the beginning of the song and post it up.

    Overall, he was just mid-to-late 60's top 40 fodder, had plenty of hits, but still fairly lightweight. Went the full distance from frat-rock to psychedelic/mystical hippie stuff(although it was painfully obvious bandwagon jumping); a number of his songs were pretty tuneful. Allegedly(because...

    Prince Cloud Basses 4-5 String

    I saw these Prince Cloud basses earlier today on eBay for $399.99. Chinese made. They look pretty cool but I’m not sure about the quality. Didn’t find any videos of them on YouTube. Anyone have one? Are they any good?

    Gayle Ann Dorsey w/Lenny Kravitz on Rock 'n Hall of Fame Prince Tribute

    A bassline on "When Doves Cry" was interesting. It was cool to see Gail Ann Dorsey onstage even though she had a Jazz instead of her Stingrays. Who knows, Kravitz might have told her to play one.

    MFD Pickup on a P-Bass? Worked for Prince

    ....Apparently I have too much free time. I love my 2 MFD pick ups on my G&L ASAT 95% of the time I use in passive mode but they are still hot. Does it make any sense to modify a beater Squier P-bass with a MFD pickup? I have a feeling the pickup will cost more than the bass did. Bass was $60...

    Fender precision on old Prince albums?

    Anyone know what bass Prince is playing on his old pre-1999 records? I read somewhere that it's a precision, but it sounds like a jazz to me. Maybe I'm wrong on both counts though.
