For me the most important uses of music notation are:

1. Playing someone else's ideas when you haven't heard them before and/or don't need or want to commit them to memory.
PINO: Would (I think) exclusively be engaged to create his own bassline so this wouldn't apply.

2. Helping you study and work out how to play a chunk of someone else's music, if you can't do it totally by ear.
PINO: Would probably subconsciously incorporate other people's ideas without thinking about it and would most likely have a good enough ear to reproduce most other things he chose to. So this wouldn't apply either.

3. Recording your own creations so you can reproduce them consistently.
PINO: Would most likely use his own shorthand technique to jot down pivotal points in his songs and remember the intervening phrases he has created. NOtation not needed here either.

Probably a load of crap - but that's the way I think about it.

Nice man, but Pino doesn't write all his own bass lines (unfortunately!)
All the D'Angelo bass lines were written by D himself, they're still awesome!
