Favorite P-Funk basslines?

[kesslari]

I was listening to some P-Funk to day, and was surprised at how far down in the mix the bass was buried in a lot of it. I usually think of funk as bass-heavy music, but a lot of this was not - drum heavy yes, bass heavy, no.

Some had pretty prominent bass - Flashlight, for instance.

What are some of your favorite, audible P-Funk (and for my purposes, all the flavors of George Clinton's funky goodness - P-Funk, Parliment, Funkadelic, the Clones, Bootsy's Rubber Band, etc etc etc) basslines?

Not P-Funk, but Bootsy's Rubber Band, "What so never the dance" Spelling?
Laughing about how true it is whoever said just play everything in F# major for bootsy funk bass lines...

I've always liked the Night of the Thumpasaurus Peoples bassline
