I'm reading top bass man Guy Pratt's autobiography at the moment (played with Floyd, Brian Ferry, loads of others). He refers to Bernard Edwards repeatedly as a deity.

He didn't do badly on Like A Prayer, did he? Even if he didn't realise it was his own bass line that made the cut.......

How I could forget this I don't know.

The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for The Devil
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAraTKuga1o (Remarkably good audio on that version too, usually it muffles the bass)

Wow, that brought back some memories. It was my first year at sea, that song was played to death in the crew mess on the BetaMax. Boobage may have played a large part in that.

On a trip down to American Samoa, there was only one shop on the whole island that took Visa cards in the '80s. I bought 2 items, one was a Tom Cruise 'Top Gun' jacket with all the badges and the other was a cassette tape of Stanley Clarke and Gregory Hines doing bass and tap.

The jacket later was a God-send for my around Oz bike trip.

But so many decent house tunes recently with fat dirty bass that is still melodic, tuneful and sassy.

Couldn't see this mentioned, and you need a good system as there is a lot of low bass and not much lower mid bass, but a classic...
