Hugh played on Runaway and occasionally on some tracks of SWW, NJ and KTF. He said himself he was on all albums BUT 7800. However, it is just an assumption that he did "all the work".It's actually rather stupid to think that he was the main studio bass player. How do you know Alec didn't do most of the work? Because of a SINGLE ONE ambiguous statement of Hugh? I take Jon's statement that Alec will be the one inducted in to the Hall of Fame as an additional proof that he wasn't there just for the sake of it.
Besides, the bass lines on the first two albums are by far the best ones (excepting maybe KTF-the song and 2 or 3 songs on These Days) and those are records where even Hugh admitted he didn't play.
