Frankie Valley and the four seasons, 'The Night'
Succinct and to the point
Can I have this one?
Lots of rock in this thread, need some disco/funk for balance...
Och! Have this one too...
Not sure if it's been done yet but...
No More Heroes and no doubt other stranglers tracks
I'm very much enjoying the Wedding Present's latest, proper quiet / loud / quiet building to a frantic wahwah guitar attack, and with a cute little bass intro / motif throughout. And Melanie on Ah Ah Ah's as well.
Surely I've just missed it and someone nominated Ace of Spades early on? If not, then that.
If that's already in, then Mountain Song by Jane's Addiction.
Thread resurrection?
With 2 bassists Neds have a few:
It's probably been mentioned before
Don't give up by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush or for a great bass all throughout do I do by Stevie Wonder
Not just the intro
youtube fed me this one straight after 😛
Just churning out some CAD and this came on, sadly the only stereo in my household that can do it justice is the car stereo and there's usually a 4 year old in the back seat... 😂
Not sure if it's already been posted...
Although playing it I realised the great bass intro doesn't actually kick in until about 15s in...
@fingerbang. Some great choices - we obviously love some of the same bands and songs.
Lots of other amazing suggestions from previous posters too - but this was what first came into my mind.
Crosspost
Couldn't see whether we'd had this one before. Breeders - Cannonball:
And I know it's cheesy pop, but pretty much any Duran Duran song is worth listening to the bass track alone. And Frankie Goes To Hollywood live showcases Mark O'Toole's lovely bass playing:
More Mark O'Toole, Frankie live on The Tube:
Not strictly an intro but close.. Down in the tube station at midnight....
Dead Kennedys - Winnebago Warrior
Soulside - Name in mind
Soulside - Bass

The Chats - Smoko
The Rezillos - (My Baby Does) Good Sculptures
Lots of rock in this thread, need some disco/funk for balance…
Sublime:
Nolan Porter - I Like what you give
I suppose I ought really to post one of their live versions, but I can't miss an opportunity to post Daisy's cover of Muse, Futurism. She ain't hard to watch........
I'm too lazy to check and see if they're already being mentioned
Must be played loud preferably with a decent turntable ,amp and speakers
Have we had > Tool - Schism?
40 years ago. What a scorcher!
Some pretty nuts bass busking
Jane's Addiction - Mountain Song. Mentioned it a year or two back, but didn't provide a link.
I might have a few, they may be covered already but heyho:
Dunno how I missed this one. Jane's Addiction (at least "Classic era" Jane's) had so many songs driven by Eric Avery's basslines, although not all featured as the intros to the songs. The previously posted Three Days and Mountain Song being two absolute bangers that did. To which I add this sublime one, even if it might not be the optimum time of year to get into that dreamy, hazy, sunshiney vibe: Summertime Rolls
listened to this for the first time in many years recently. a decent bass intro
Gasoline by Maneskin.
They played it live when i saw them this summer and the whole arena shook.
Also Victoria is the hottest bass player on the planet.
You've clearly never heard Khruangbhin
