Best Bass Intro

[Hobbayne]

There are quite a few intros on just the bass alone. Electric or otherwise.
This classic Stranglers tune is my personal favourite.
Post yours.

Continuing the Stranglers theme, I'll get it in before someone else does-Peaches.

punk seems to like bass intros, the Damned's Love Song is another one, oh yeah and Neat Neat Neat, let's be honest sometimes it's the only time you can hear the bass

[Conan]

Dead simple (in fact embarrassingly so!), but great tone and tight as feck...

Nominated because it is probably the best-selling bass intro of all: Another one bites the dust by Queen.
Nominated for being straightforward all out energy: Higher Ground by RHCP

[dudewheresmybass]

And megadeth- peace sells are both the ones that immediately sprang to mind

Lovely solo bass intro into a superb line from the great Dennis Dunaway.

Alternatively from the same man - and from the same album:

Also contains the best drum fill in rock, at approx 20 secs.

Extreme - Get The Funk Out

[dudewheresmybass]

This choice one from sabbath has to be a contender

Peace Sells ftw!
Also - not quite an intro; more of a pre-verse ostinato thingy - but Five Magics. Love playing that.

[JellyKnees]

Ha, I saw the thread title and immediately thought of No More Heroes!

[JellyKnees]

Maybe it's this though?

My first thought was extreme's get the funk out, but then I remembered a lesser known song on the third album- Tragic Comic, -it's pretty much just an exercise in major triads, but it works so well.

Pino.
Everyone in the world knows it's a Bass gtr,
and possibly that it's PP.
Well my local Butcher does - He knows all about chops.
