Hobbayne Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 There are quite a few intros on just the bass alone. Electric or otherwise. This classic Stranglers tune is my personal favourite.

Daz39 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 [quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1449832156' post='2927253'] Peace Sells! Good choice. Nominated for 21st century grooviness: Uprising by Muse [/quote] Peace Sells ftw! Also - not quite an intro; more of a pre-verse ostinato thingy - but Five Magics. Love playing that.

CHW Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 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.
