The bass line from the Jackson 5's I Want You Back is the best bass line ever. Prove me wrong.

Might not prove you wrong but these are strong contenders:

Very good line, Entwistle did some amazing stuff.

It's the best. There's no argument. A buddy and I had this discussion many times in school.

There are some arrangements that will always be amazing, and that's one of them.

I love it, but I was always keen on "Soul to Squeeze" by the Chili Peppers as one of the best. and if you slappa tha bass, Bonin in the Boneyard by Fishbone has got all dat covered too

I was at a concert and the opener was a dj who mixed over the beat. His dj skills were lacking but I did learn the bass line is perfect for mixing.

I've always been partial to this example of Mr. Entwistle's greatness.

This bassline was actually written and played by James Jamerson—one of the godfathers of bass.
He played this with one finger on a Fender Precision bass with dead flatwound strings. As a bassist, this is hard. Not just dead flats, but playing something this fast with one finger.
EDIT: I'm acutally completely wrong. Jamerson didn't play this at all.

I hate flat wounds. I have some on an Epiphone Sheraton and can't stand them. Wikipedia says Wilton Felder played it.

Flats are good in certain circumstances. None of which I find rewarding to play. The sound is too dull. Give me stainless steel roundwounds on my Rickenbacker any day of the week.

You own a Rickenbacker? Awesome! I have the most sketchy basses ever: a 70s fender body with a 80s fender neck that had it's frets pulled out and a junk mid-70s 3/4 scale Kay. But that's what you get when you spent $15 total on both basses.

Still, you have a 70s Fender with a reasonably okay Fender neck. And yeah, I own a 4003. I'm a huge Rush fan, so I eventually had to buy a Rick. I got it in 2006 I believe. The year after I bought mine was when Rickenbacker doubled the retail price.
I got out nicely and it's basically the only thing I've ever bought that has increased in value.

Know a pilot that used to fly James Brown's plane in the 60's. He said Brown could hear every error his band made during a gig, and he used to fine them $100 a note missed at the end of the night. No one ever complained because he was always right. I can't imagine Stevie was any different, but maybe he didn't have the anal retentive thing going on.. dunno. Never talking to *his* pilot.

I've read about JB being hard to please, but that's an amazing insight. It's hard to imagine anyone catching Maceo Parker missing a note, let alone getting caught at it.
