Three pages in and no-one’s mentioned the first bar of Wichita Linesman?

Bass intro’s – well, it’s mainly bass.

Corduroy – Very Yeah

And second skin! My favourite tune..
Not sure if this counts as a bass into but great bass line and bass heavy outfit..

Yes I know its not quite the intro bit but hell in the early to mid 80’s I listened to The Chameleons & the Cocteau Twins (+ This Mortal Coil) and not a lot else.

I even had one played at my wife’s funeral, its not this one but it has a superb bass line.

Spanish moon little feat

JeZ

Found a few more newer ones

(video has it’s own interesting intro before the bass kicks in 😊 )

maybe not guitars 😉

Faith No More Falling to Pieces gets my vote.

Just exploring around Qobuz and this appeared in the list. Seems like the link is not showing the player it’s Curtis Mayfield, (Don’t Worry) If There’s Hell Below We’re All Going to Go

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

cool that, definitely worth a post. There ain’t a consensus on any music stuff, you knaa!

Not just a great bass intro but a great song, great singer, great drummer and one of my favourite guitarists.

Would help people if I could actually get a video link to post properly on this new site (drumming is great too)!

Blink182 – Carousel

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

4 Pages and no New Model Army

Or The Cure

simple

not so

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVck6DkOi38

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

Would? AiC

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