songs with great bass intro's

Won’t appeal to the masses on here I’m sure but always loved the intro to this

There ain’t a consensus on any music stuff, you knaa!

Exactamundo. Post what you want preferably within the threads criteria but not always. It's not a court of law, just a forum and some music based back and forth. A bit of clever subversion usually goes down well!

Can I just say I love threads like this.

No need for anything fancy just copy the stuff in the header into a post and it should work

Absolute classic with the now Mrs Vanian on bass.

And because no one said it had to be bass guitar

More Squarepusher seeing as I was supposed to be seeing him live soon and.. well, ain't now 🙁

Gawd, this virus is such a bastard!!

Hmmm some sort of glitch - try that again

Surprised this hasn’t come up yet

Not surprised that this hasn’t, but it should have done because it came into my head as soon as I saw the thread title and it’s one of my favourite album openers of all time. No messing around

Name that hub...

First song that sprung to mind for bass intros

Rage Against the Machine - Bombtrack

I know Primus have already been mentioned but...

Also Korn

This always inspires me to get up and do anything other than sitting around!

And as a bonus, when not bass-ing

Tone

Would? AiC

For some reason one of my mum's records from my childhood just came to mind 😀

Pretty tight bass here

Any tracks from Future Islands.

Just gonna leave this here...

What no Psycho Killer?

I’m reading ‘Perfecting Sound Forever’ and in the section on production and producers, apparently the producer of Talking Heads ‘77’ wasn’t at all happy with the way Tina Weymouth played bass, so without telling the band he got outside players in, had them play the bass lines on four tracks, and because of the limited number of tracks available on the master tape, and the fact there was only one available for David Byrne to do his vocal on, mixed the new bass tracks in, deleting Tina’s bass, leaving the one empty track for the vocals. Didn’t say which four tracks those were, though, and sadly they can never be retrieved.

Only just seen this thread, and can't be going through all 5 pages so apologies if it's been mentioned already.

And this one must have already shown up but it's worth repeating.

It's all about the groove

@slowoldman - thanks for the Emmylou track, I’ve seen her a number of times, including on the Wrecking Ball tour, and with Spyboy, and I’ve seen Daniel Lanois touring ‘Acadia’, so I’ve seen that song performed by both of them, great bass playing, a great singer, and a terrific tune!

This song by Stereolab

Severe lack of motorik bass-heavy shizz on this thread (except for Hawkwind, noice!) Moar bass! Moar motorik!
