   Man this list is messed up, half of the songs have either the wrong video or don’t start with the bass at all.

   Louis Johnson (bassist in the Brothers Johnson) played bass on this song, and wrote the bass riff. Jackson wasn’t exactly an instrumentist, as he couldn’t play an instrument really good. Anyway, he could do some playing but was mostly singing the melodies he wanted on record to the personnel that worked with him.
